U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Revision O-R19 Rune 1976 REGULATORY GUIDE OFFICE OF STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT REGULATORY GUIDE 1.116 (This page revised May 1977) QUALITY ASSURANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR INSTALLATION, INSPECTION, AND TESTING OF MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND SYSTEMS A. INTRODUCTION Appendix B, "Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants," to 10 CFR Part SO, "Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities," establishes overall quality assurance require ments for the design, construction, and operation of sa7.ty-reiated structures, systems, and components of nuclear power plants. This guide describes a method acceptable to the NRC staff for complying with the Commission's regulations with regard to quality assur ance requirements for installation, inspection, and test ing of mechanical equipment and systems for water cooled and high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear power plants.* B. DISCUSSION Working Group N45-2.8 of the American National Standards Committee N45, Reactor Plants and Their Maintenance, has prepared a standard that includes quality assurance requirements for installation, inspec tion, and testing of mechanical equipment and systems for water-cooled and high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear power plants. This standard was approved by Subcommittee N45-2, Nuclear Quality Assurance Stand ards, of the American National Standards Committee N45 and the full committee. It was subsequently approved and designated N45.2.8-1975 1 by the American National Standards Institute on May 20. 1975.
