Nuclear Regulatory Commission. in the determination that there is no need for a revision at this time. Washrngton D.C 20555, Attention Director. Division of Document Controi *The Advisor" Committee on Reactor Saf'eguards has heetn consulted concerning this u•lde and has concurred in the regulatory position. ýpants that are included in ANSI N45.2.8-1975 are acceptable to the NRC staff and provide an adequate basis for complying with the pertinent quality assurance requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, subject to Ute following: 1. Subdivision 1.5 of ANSI N45.2.8-1975 states: "Documents that are required to be included as a part of this standard are identified at the point of reference and described in Section 8 of this standard." The specific acceptability of these listed documents has been or will be covered separately in other regulatory guides or in Commission reu'-tions where appropriate. 2. Although ANSI N45.2.8-1975 is entitled "Supple mentary Quality Assurance Requirements for Installa tion, Inspection, and Testing of Mechanical Equipment and Systems for the Construction Phase of Nuclear Power Plants," the requirements included in the stand ard are considered to be applicable during the operations phase a. well as the construction phase and should be followed for those applicable operations phase activities that are comparable to activities occurring during the construction phase. In this regard, it should be noted that N45.2.8-1975 does not address radiological con siderations associated with installation, inspection, and testing of mechanical components in radioactively con taminated systems. 3. Section 5 of N45.2.8-1975 includes requirements for install •- system inspections and tests. Individual subsections address preoperational tests, cold functional tests, and hot functional tests.
