criteria that specify when verification should be by test. b. Prototype, component or feature testing is performed as early as possible prior to installation of plant equipment, or prior to the point when the installation would become irreversible. c. Verification by test is performed under conditions that simulate the most adverse design conditions as determined by analysis. 21. Procedures are established to ensure that verified computer codes are certified for use and that their use is specified. 22. Control of computer programs used for design analysis includes the following: a.

Computer programs are controlled to ensure that changes are documented and approved by authorized personnel. 23. Design and specification changes, including field changes, are subject to the same design controls that were applicable to the original design. D. PROCUREMENT DOCUMENT CONTROL (Criterion IV) 1. Procedures are established for the review of procurement documents to determine that quality requirements are correctly stated, inspectable, and controllable; there are adequate acceptance and rejection criteria; and procurement documents have been prepared, reviewed, and approved in accordance with QAP requirements. To the extent necessary, procurement documents should require contractors and subcontractors to provide an acceptable QA program. The review and documented concurrence of the adequacy of quality requirements stated in procurement documents is performed by independent personnel trained and qualified in QA practices and concepts. 2.
