used to establish reference values. The periodic inservice program must verify the reference values within acceptable limits. J b. The pump test program procedures must agree with the requirements of subsection II.1.b. The program is best presented in tabular form. c. The inservice test frequencies and test durations are reviewed for agreement with subsection II.1.c. d. The test procedures described in the SAR are reviewed for agreement | with subsection iI1.Ld. The SAR need only provide the necessary information to permit a conclusion that the methods of measurement and the data acquisition system will provide the needed data. The reviewer does not approve or disapprove the instruments or methods proposed or used. 2. Inservice Testing of Valves a. The SAR valve test list and categorization are reviewed for agreement with Subsection II.2.a. 3.9.6-4 Rev. 2 - July 1981 b. The valve test program is acceptable if the procedures follow the rules of subsection II.2.b for preservice and periodic inservice testing. 3. Relief Requests Requests for relief from Section XI requirements are reviewed to determine that sufficient information has been provided and that the acceptance criteria of subsection 11.3 have been met.
