3. GENERAL GUIDANCE

The following paragraphs describe the appendices contained in this TSL.

3.1

DOE Technical Standards. Appendix A lists the DOE Technical Standards that

have been published by DOE as of July 1, 2006.

3.2

Non-Government Standards Adopted by DOE. Appendix B lists the NGSs

adopted for use by DOE through the reference of the standards in published DOE

directives (e.g., rules, orders, manuals, and guides). Some standards developed by

non-Government standards bodies are issued without a specific identification

number. Unique numbers for these documents will be identified through

coordination with the NGSB, where possible, and included in future editions of

this TSL.

Other Government Documents. Appendix C lists other Government documents

3.3

identified in published DOE directives that are referenced and used in a manner

similar to non-Government standards and DOE Technical Standards. The listing

of these documents in DOE directives serves to record DOE's interest in the

documents. Note that some documents are listed without an identifying number.
