ping Software Life-Cycle Processes for Digital Computer Software Used in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Plants.” This regulatory guide is based on standards and describes methods acceptable for any safety system software and discusses the required SRS activities. The applicant or licensee determines how the required activities will be implemented. Other Codes and Standards This regulatory guide endorses the use of one or more voluntary consensus codes or standards developed by external organizations. These codes or standards may contain references to other codes or standards. These references should be considered individually. If a referenced standard has been incorporated separately into NRC regulations, licensees and applicants must comply with that standard as set forth in the regulation. If the referenced standard has been endorsed in a regulatory guide, the standard constitutes a method acceptable to the NRC staff for meeting a regulatory requirement as described in the specific regulatory guide. If a referenced standard has been neither incorporated into NRC regulations nor endorsed in a regulatory guide, licensees and applicants may consider and use the information in the referenced standard, if appropriately justified and consistent with current regulatory practice. Harmonization with International Standards This regulatory guide endorses, in whole or in part, multiple international consensus standards produced by international organizations such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). The IEEE is a non-profit professional association dedicated to advancing technological innovation and excellence. It has more than 400,000 members in more than 160 countries and produces 30 percent of the world's literature in the electrical and electronics engineering and computer science fields including multiple tutorials and standards produced by its standardization committees. Endorsement, in whole or in part, of multiple international standards
