r codes or standards. These references should be considered individually. If a referenced standard has been incorporated separately into NRC regulations, licensees and applicants must comply with that standard as set forth in the regulation. If the referenced standard has been endorsed in a regulatory guide, the standard constitutes a method acceptable to the NRC staff for meeting a regulatory requirement as DG-1282, Page 3 described in the specific regulatory guide. If a referenced standard has been neither incorporated into NRC regulations nor endorsed in a regulatory guide, licensees and applicants may consider and use the information in the referenced standard, if appropriately justified and consistent with current regulatory practice. Harmonization with International Standards This regulatory guide endorses, in whole or in part, multiple international consensus standards produced by international organizations such as ASTM International. ASTM International, known until 2001 as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), is an international standards organization that develops and publishes voluntary consensus technical standards for a wide range of materials, products, systems, and services. ASTM, founded in 1898 as the American Section of the International Association for Testing and Materials, uses a consensus process and thousands of volunteers drawn from around the world to collectively develop and maintain more than 12,000 standards. Endorsement, in whole or in part, of multiple international standards reduces the need for the development of unique NRC standards and is consistent with the agency goal of improved harmonization with international organizations. C. STAFF REGULATORY GUIDANCE The requirements for the design of emergency diesel generator fuel oil systems used in nuclear power plants for safety-related applications are included in ANSI/ANS-59.51-1997. This standard provides a method acceptable to the NRC staff for complying with the
