in design documents; and (3) deviations from such standards are controlled. 2. Organizational responsibilities are described for preparing, reviewing, approving, and verifying design documents such as system descriptions, design input and criteria, design drawings, design analyses, computer programs, specifications, and procedures. 3. Design records, maintained to provide evidence that the design was properly accomplished, include not only the final design output and revisions to the final output, but also the important design steps (e.g., calculations, analyses, and computer programs) and the sources of input that support the final output. 4. Design analysis documents are legible and in a form suitable for record keeping. They are sufficiently detailed as to purpose, method, assumptions, design input, references, and units such that a person technically qualified in the subject can review and understand the analyses and verify the adequacy of the results without recourse to the originator. Documentation of design analyses includes the following, as applicable: a. Definition of the objective of the analyses. b. Definition of design inputs and their sources. c. Results of literature searches or other applicable background data. d. Identification of assumptions and indication of those that must be verified as the design proceeds. 17.5-14 Draft Revision 1 – August 2014 e. Identification of any computer calculation, including computer type, computer program (e.g., name), revision identification, inputs, outputs, evidence of or reference to computer program verification, and the bases (or reference thereto) supporting application of the computer program to the specific physical problem. f. Review and approval. 5. The design process ensures that items and activities are selected and independently verified to ensure they are suitable for their intended application. 6. Calculations are identifiable by subject (including the SSC to which the calculation applies),
