PERFORMANCE TEST. A test of structures, systems, and components to verify that

acceptable designed-in performance characteristics are being achieved; or, to detect any

abnormal performance characteristics for which corrective actions may be needed. The

documented test results should also be used to determine the effect of maintenance and

operating activities on equipment performance so that either availability or reliability factors can

be obtained. [DOE G 433.1-1]

449.

PERFORMANCE-BASED MAINTENANCE. Tailoring the preservation or maintenance of

structures, systems, and components important to safety in terms of results as approved in a

DOE Safety Management System that is implemented under 48 CFR 970.5204.2. The use of

measurable (i.e., terms of quality, timeliness and quantity) performance standards and objectives

where appropriate (i.e., use of a "graded approach"). [DOE G 433.1-1]

450.

PERFORMANCE-BASED REGULATIONS. Regulations that are outcome-oriented rather

than procedure-oriented. [DOE G 450.4-1B]

451.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE. Preventive, predictive, or seasonal maintenance activities

performed on a routine basis (typically based on operating hours or calendar time) and may

include any combination of external inspections, alignments or calibrations, internal inspections,

overhauls, and structure, systems, and component replacements. [DOE G 433.1-1]

452.

PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMIT. The maximum level of exposure to airborne

contaminants or physical agents to which an employee may be exposed over a specified time

period, as mandated by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration in 29 CFR

Part 1910 or 29 CFR Part 1926. [DOE O 5480.10A (Draft)]

453.

PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMIT (PEL). The maximum level to which an employee may

be exposed to a hazardous agent in a specified period, as defined by the U.S. Occupational

Safety and Health Administration in 29 CFR 1910 or 29 CFR 1926. (The airborne PEL is

based on concentrations in the ambient air and does not consider personal protective

equipment.) [DOE G 440.1-3]
