ersion. This will normally be accomplished by confirming the qualification of the mechanism and tools for performing this translation (e.g., a COTS compiler and linker) and reviewing integrated system testing, installation, and pre-operational test reports. One approach to conducting product inspections that has proved successful is the use of string audits that follow selected functional requirements through the design outputs previously described. The scope and depth of the product inspections should be tailored to the extent, complexity, and safety significance of the digital system under review. BTP-14, Section B.3.3, presents specific criteria from which the inspection activities for a specific product may be derived. For operating license, operating license amendment, or combined license applications, the product inspections should also confirm that the systems reviewed are installed, operated, and maintained appropriately. NRC Inspection Manual, Part 2500, "Digital Retrofits Receiving Prior Approval," provides guidance for inspecting these activities. Rev. 4 — June 1997 SRP 7.0-A-13 C.3.8. Review of the Acceptance of Commercial-Grade Digital Equipment All software, including operating systems, resident on safety system computers at run time must be qualified for their intended applications. Qualification may be established either by producing the PDS items under a 10 CFR Appendix B quality assurance program or by dedicating the item for use in the safety system as defined in 10 CFR Part 21. Review topics for the former case are described above. Review in the latter case requires a determination that a suitable acceptance process has demonstrated reasonable assurance that the equipment will perform its intended safety function. 10 CFR Part 21 states that “this assurance is achieved by identifying the critical characteristics of the item and verifying their acceptability by inspections, tests, or analyses performed by the purchaser or third-party dedicating
