Measures shall be established to indicate, by the use of markings such as stamps, tags, labels, routing cards, or other suitable means, the status of inspections and tests performed upon individual items of the nuclear power plant or fuel reprocessing plant. 2. These measures shall provide for the identification of items which have satisfactorily passed required inspections and tests, where necessary to preclude inadvertent bypassing of such inspections and tests. 3. Measures shall also be established for indicating the operating status of structures, systems, and components of the nuclear power plant or fuel reprocessing plant, such as by tagging valves and switches, to prevent inadvertent operation. 4. The authority for application and removal of tags, markings, labels, and stamps is specified. Procedures require independent verifications, where appropriate, to ensure that necessary measures such as tagging equipment have been implemented correctly (ANSI/ANS 3.2). 5. Temporary modifications, such as temporary bypass lines, electrical jumpers, lifted electrical leads, and temporary trip point setting, are controlled by approved procedures which include a requirement for independent verification.
