ssurance requirements of Appen dix B to 10 CFR Part 50, subject to the following: a. Subdivision 1.5 of ANSI N45.2.2-1972 states that other documents required to be included as a part of this standard are either identified at the point of reference or described in Section 9 of the standard. The specific acceptability of these listed documents has been or will be covered separately in other regulatory guides or in Commission regulations where appropriate. b. Subdivision 7.3.4 of ANSI N45.2.2-1972 delineates requirements for re-rating hoisting equip ment for special lifts. This subdivision requires that re-rated equipment be given a dynamic load test over the full range of the lift, using a test weight at least equal to the lift weight. In lieu of this requirement, the test weight used in temporarily re-rating hoisting equipment for special lifts in accordance with the provisions of subdivision 7.3.4 should be at least equal to 110% of the lift weight. c. Subdivision A.3.6.3(l) of ANSI N45.2.2-1972 permits desiccants and desiccant bag materials con taining not more than 0.25% halogens to be used with austenitic stainless steels. In lieu of this requirement, desiccants and the materials for the desiccant bags, when used with austenitic stainless steel or nickel al loy materials, should not be compounded from or treated with chemical compounds containing ele ments in such quantities that harmful concentrations could be leached or be released by breakdown of the compounds under expected environmental condi tions (e.g., by radiation). Examples of such com pounds are those containing fluorides, chlorides, sul fur, lead, zinc, copper, and mercury. d. Although ANSI N45.2.2-1972 is entitled "Packaging, Shipping, Receiving, Storage, and Handling of Items for Nuclear Power Plants During the Construction Phase," the requirements included in the standard are considered to be applicable during the operation phase and should be used, where ap plicable, consistent with the
