ontrol Systems Important to Safety." 4. Standard Review Plan Section 7.1, Appendix B, "Guidance for Evaluation of Conformance to IEEE Std 279." 5. Standard Review Plan, Appendix 7-A, "Branch Technical Position (ICSB)." 7.1-5 Rev. 3 - February 1984 STANDARD REVIEW PLAN TABLE 7-1 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA AND GUIDELINES FOR INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL SYSTEMS IMPORTANT TO SAFETY The matrix of Table 7-1 identifies the acceptance criteria (denoted by "A") and the guidelines (denoted by "G') and their applicability to the various sections of Chapter 7 of the SAR. These acceptance criteria include the applicable General Design Criteria and IEEE Standard 279 which establish the Commission requirements for the instrumentation and control systems important to safety. The guidelines for implementation of these requirements are provided in Regulatory Guides, the endorsed IEEE Standards and the Branch Technical Positions (BTP) of the Instrumentation and Control Systems Branch (ICSB). The BTPs listed in this table are contained in Appendix 7-A to Chapter 7 of the SRP. The guidelines are not mandatory and only set forth acceptable methods of implementing the acceptance criteria. The branch technical positions (Ref. 5) are used when a particular design problem has an identified and acceptable solu- tion; they also are not mandatory. In all cases, the primary basis for acceptance of the design is conformance to the acceptance criteria. Industry standards that are not endorsed by regulatory guides or incorporated in regulations or branch technical positions, or that have not been previously used and accepted in the licensing process, must be reviewed before they can be accepted as a sole basis for approval of a design. They are useful as guidance for identifying the subjects of importance to be considered in the review of the systems important to safety. 7.1-6 Rev. 3 - February 1984 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA FOR INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL SYSTEMS IMPORTANT TO SAFETY - TABLE 7-1 CRITERIA TITLE
