Adequacy of local compliance of I&C systems with applicable design criteria

DOE-STD-1162-2003

Describe the mechanisms for feedback of relevant information, such as trend analysis and

instrumentation performance/reliability data, to identify necessary program

modifications.

Review a contractor preventive maintenance activity and describe the preventive

maintenance factors to be considered as the activity is planned.

Discuss the importance of post-maintenance testing and the elements of an effective post-

maintenance testing program.

27.

Instrumentation and control personnel shall demonstrate the ability to evaluate the

adequacy of local compliance of I&C systems with applicable design criteria (such as ISA

84.01, ISA 67.04.01, IEEE 603-1998, NEC or the Uniform Building Code) used by

site/facility.

Supporting Knowledge and/or Skills

Discuss the purpose and application of the criteria contained in the applicable I&C design

standards.

Discuss what constitutes a safety class or safety-significant item as represented by the

various I&C design standards.

Discuss the application of single failure criteria to instrumentation and control systems.

Discuss the environmental qualification criteria for instrumentation and control system

equipment.

Discuss the requirements for testing capability for instrumentation and control systems as

it relates to the applicable design standards.

Discuss the criteria for generic human factors engineering considerations in the

applicable design standards, as they apply to instrumentation and control systems.

Discuss criteria for developing the proper setpoints for interlocks and alarms.

Given a design package for an instrumentation and control system for a mechanical, civil,

structural, or electrical application, determine the general design criteria requirements for

the instrumentation and controls.

28.

I&C personnel designated as vital safety systems subject matter experts shall demonstrate

an expert level of knowledge on their level of understanding and approach to overseeing

contractor activities by using the requirements of DOE Order 420.1, Facility Safety, and the

guidance in DOE-STD-1073-93, Guide for Operational Configuration Management

Program by performing system assessments addressing the following elements:

Supporting Knowledge and/or Skills

Determine that adequate and comprehensive documentation exists for the system design

basis and safety basis (e.g., Documented Safety Analysis, Technical Safety

Requirements, etc.).

Assess the adequacy of the system's ability to perform in accordance with the system

design basis and safety basis.
