Revision 1 0. U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION July 1 )REGULATORYGUIDE OFFICE OF STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT REGULATORY GUIDE 1.123 QUALITY ASSURANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR CONTROL OF PROCUREMENT OF ITEMS AND SERVICES FOR NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS 977 A. INTRODUCTION Appendix B, "Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants," to 10 CFR Part 50, "Licensing of Produc- tion and Utilization Facilities," e~tablishes overall quality assurance requirements for the design, con- struction, and operation of safety-related structures, systems, and components of nuclear power plants. This guide describes a method acceptable to the NRC staff for complying with the Commission's regula- tions with regard to quality assurance requirements for control of procurement of items' and services dur- ing the design, construction, and operations phases of nuclear power plants. The Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards has been consulted concerning this guide and has concurred in the regulatory posi-. tion. B. DISCUSSION Working Group N45-2.13 of the American National Standards Committee N45, Reactor Plants- and Their Maintenance, has prepared a standard that includes quality assurance requirements for control of procurement of items and services for nuclear power plants. This standard was approved by Sub- committee N45-2, Nuclear Quality Assurance Stan- dards, of the American National Standards Commit- tee N45, the full committee, and by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers' Codes and Stan- dards Committee. It was subsequently approved and designated N45.2.13-19762 by the American National Standards Institute on February 27, 1976. *Lines indicate substantive changes from previous issue. As used in this guide, an "item" is defined as any level of unit assembly including 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,"
