ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION ACTIVITIES. The process(es) by which

contaminated sites and facilities are identified and characterized and by which

contamination is contained, treated, or removed and disposed. [10 CFR 830.3][DOE G

420.1-1]

199.

EQUIPMENT. The systems and devices used throughout DOE and commonly referred

to as equipment are divided into three categories for the purpose of this Order. It is the

intent of this definition to separately identify the installed equipment that can logically be

considered as an integral part of a real property improvement from other types of

equipment. The purpose of such a determination is to provide a uniform basis for

analysis of various maintenance and repair costs.

A. INSTALLED EQUIPMENT. This category includes the mechanical and electrical

systems that are installed as part of basic building construction and are essential to

the normal functioning of the facility and its intended use. Examples are heating,

ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems; elevators; and communications

systems.

B. PROGRAMMATIC EQUIPMENT. Equipment (both real and personal) dedicated

for a specific programmatic use. Examples are accelerators, microscopes, radiation

detection equipment, glove boxes, and hotcells.

C. OTHER EQUIPMENT. Some examples in this category are office machines,

vehicles and mobile equipment, helicopters, airplanes, and computers and other

automated data-processing equipment. [DOE O 4330.4B] [DOE G 433.1-1]

EQUIPMENT QUALIFICATION. The generation and maintenance of evidence to

assure that equipment will operate on demand to meet the system performance

requirements for the conditions that the equipment is required to operate. [DOE O

5480.EIA] [EH62dd1]

201.

EQUIVALENCY. The approved alternate means of satisfying the technical provisions

of a fire protection code or standard. (Deviations from specific requirements of
