as sources of information; they have not received regulatory endorsement unless otherwise noted: DG-1206, Page 10 Annex A, “Bibliography,” lists IEEE standards that are useful in implementing and interpreting the test requirements contained in IEEE Std. 828-2005. The paragraph titled “Other Codes and Standards” in Section B of this regulatory guide provides the NRC staff position on the endorsement and use of other standards. Annex B, “Relationship of IEEE Std. 828-2005 to Other Standards,” describes the relationship of IEEE Std. 828-2005 to IEEE/Electronic Industries Association (EIA) Std. 12207.1-1997, “Industry Implementation of International Standard ISO/IEC 12207:1995 (ISO/IEC 12207) Standard for Information Technology-Software Life Cycle Processes-Life Cycle Data,” issued April 1998, and International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Technical Report (TR) 19759:2005, “Software Engineering- Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK),” issued 2005 (Ref. 13). The NRC does not endorse this annex because the agency has endorsed neither IEEE/EIA Std. 12207.1-1997 nor ISO/IEC TR 19759:2005. D. IMPLEMENTATION The purpose of this section is to provide information on how applicants and licensees2 may use this guide and information regarding the NRC’s plans for using this regulatory guide. In addition, it describes how the NRC staff complies with the Backfit Rule (10 CFR 50.109) and any applicable finality provisions in 10 CFR Part 52. Use by Applicants and Licensees Applicants and licensees may voluntarily3 use the guidance in this document to demonstrate compliance with the underlying NRC regulations. Methods or solutions that differ from those described in this regulatory guide may be deemed acceptable if they provide sufficient basis and information for the NRC staff to verify that the proposed alternative demonstrates compliance with the appropriate NRC regulations.
