ncluding system, subsystem, subassembly, component, part, or material. 2 ANSI N45.2.13-1976, "Quality Assurance Requirements for Control of Procurement of Items and Services for Nuclear Power Plants," may be obtained from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 345 East 47th St., New York, N.Y. 10017. NRC documents WASH-1283, "Guidance on Quality Assurance Requirements During Design and Procurement Phase of Nuclear Power Plants," dated May 24, 1974 (Grey Book-Revision 1) and WASH- 1309, "Guidance on Quality Assurance Require- ments During the Construction Phase of Nuclear Power Plants," dated May 10, 1974 (Green Book- Revision 0) contain guidance on acceptable methods of implementing portions of the quality assurance program. WASH-1283 and WASH-1309, which are used by the NRC staff in evaluating construction per- mit and operating license applications, contain proposed standard N45.2.13 (Draft 2, Rev. 4). ANSI N45ý2.13-1976 reflects development from the proposed version included in the above WASH docu- ments to the final version approved by the American National Standards Institute. In this revision of Regulatory Guide 1.123, which follows the public comment period, ANSI N45.2.13-1976 replaces N45.2.13 (Draft 2, Rev. 4) contained in WASH-1283 and WASH-1309 for evaluation of construction per- mit and operating license applications. Some uncertainty has arisen with regard to the NRC staff's intent when a regulatory guide endorses, as an acceptable method for complying with certain regulations, theguidelines as well as the requirements included in a standard. As a result of this uncertainty, the NRC staff has evaluated the guidelines contained in ANSI N45.2.13-1976 with respect to importance to safety. This regulatory guide is intended to clarify the NRC's position on the requirements and guidelines contained in ANSI N45.2.13-1976. Where conform- ance to this regulatory guide is indicated in an ap- plication without further qualification, this means conformance
