g is subject to the full range of design and quality assurance measures applicable to the development of safety system software. 6. Annexes IEEE Std. 1074-2006 contains the following six annexes (only the first annex is normative). These annexes are listed here as sources of information; they have not received regulatory endorsement unless otherwise noted: (1) Annex A describes the detailed life-cycle activities that should be followed to conform to the standard. The annex provides normative guidance that enables effective application of the standard; therefore, the NRC endorses this annex with clarifications discussed in Part C of this Regulatory Guide. (2) Annex B provides a mapping example that demonstrates the mapping process presented in the body of the standard (Clause 4) without constraining the user to any specific methodologies or tools. Although this example provides the licensee with good advice, Annex B is not necessary to conform to the standard; therefore, the NRC does not endorse this annex. (3) Annex C gives a mapping template that may be used to assist project managers in identifying project-critical deliverables and in ensuring their completion as needed. Although this template provides the licensee with good advice, Annex C is not necessary to conform to the standard; therefore, the NRC does not endorse this annex. (4) Annex D gives examples of software life-cycle models that the licensee may use to conform to the standard. The NRC does not endorse this annex because it provides examples only and contains no guidance. (5) Annex E gives a glossary of terms that are used in the standard. The NRC finds this information useful, but does not endorse this annex without further review. DG-1210, Page 11 (6) Annex F gives a bibliography of other standards that IEEE Std. 1074-2006 references. The paragraph titled “Other Codes and Standards,” in Section B of this regulatory guide discusses the treatment of these standards. D. IMPLEMENTATION The purpose
