D O E -S T D -1065-94

3.4.3.3

If a surveillance test, calibration, or special procedure does not

exist to test particular equipment following maintenance, a

special test procedure may be written, or the test may be

performed in accordance with instructions written for the MJR.

With any of these procedure methods, the required and actual

testing performed should be described, data recorded,

acceptance criteria specified, and appropriate reviews and

approvals performed and documented. If special test

procedures are written to perform PMT, the appropriate safety

and technical reviews should be performed in accordance with

facility procedures.

3.4.3.4

Test instructions should include details such as initial conditions

and prerequisites, hold points, cautions, personnel qualification

requirements, personnel safety requirements, clear acceptance

criteria, and posttest restoration.

Test instructions should be as specific as possible and should

avoid using vague criteria such as "verify proper operation" or

"check for excessive temperature."

Test equipment should be specified and provision made for

recording the equipment identification and calibration due date.
