uctions. These measures should include provisions to ensure that appropriate quality standards are included in design documents and that deviations from established standards are controlled. A process should also be established to determine the suitability of equipment that is essential to safety-related functions and to identify, control, and coordinate design interfaces between participating design organizations. Where a test program is used to verify the adequacy of a specific design feature, it shall include suitable qualification testing of a prototype unit under the most adverse design conditions. 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion III is applicable to this Section since it includes requirements for test programs that are used to verify the adequacy of a specific design feature. Such test programs must include suitable qualification testing of a prototype unit under the most adverse design conditions. For components in the scope of this section that are subject to environmental qualification testing, the test program must address these requirements. Meeting 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III provides assurance that the environmental qualification process includes suitable qualification testing of a prototype unit under the most adverse design conditions. 8. Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI, "Test Control," requires that a test control plan be established to ensure that all tests needed to demonstrate a component's capability to perform satisfactorily in service be identified and performed in accordance with written procedures that incorporate the requirements and acceptance limits contained in applicable design documents. 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XI is applicable to this Section since it includes requirements for developing a test control plan to ensure that all tests needed to demonstrate a component's capability to perform satisfactorily in service be identified and performed in accordance with written procedures that
