ility and review methods to be used in evaluating conformance to the acceptance criteria and guidelines for I&C systems important to safety. Appendix B to this SRP section provides guidance to be used in the evaluation of conformance to the requirements of ANSI/IEEE Std 279. Appendix C to this SRP section provides guidance for evaluation of conformance to IEEE Std 603. III. Review Procedures Section 7.0 provides an overview of the review process for I&C systems. Within this process, the objectives of the review of Section 7.1 of the SAR are to confirm that the I&C systems important to safety are addressed in Chapter 7 of the SAR and that the applicant/licensee commits to appropriate acceptance criteria and guidelines applicable to each of these systems. This identification meets the applicable requirements of General Design Criterion 1, "Quality Standards and Records," of 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix A. General Design Criterion 1 requires that, "Structures, systems and components important to safety shall be designed, fabricated, erected and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety function to be performed." Therefore, the review of Section 7.1 should confirm that the SAR includes (1) a discussion regarding the applicability of each criterion and guideline for each system important to safety, and (2) a statement that the criteria and guidelines are implemented or will be implemented in the design of I&C systems important to safety. If exceptions to the guidelines are taken, the review confirms that an acceptable basis has been provided for those exceptions. The review of Section 7.1 of the SAR is performed as follows: 1. Section 7.1 is reviewed to confirm that all I&C systems important to safety are included in Chapter 7.

This review should confirm that all I&C systems, including embedded computers and
