IEEE Standard for Criteria for the Periodic Surveillance Testing of Nuclear Power Generating Station Safety Systems safety function. Post-maintenance and post-modification testing are not covered by this document. This standard amplifies the periodic surveillance testing requirements of other IEEE nuclear standards. This standard is intended to aid the user not only in designing a periodic test capability, but also in defining and optimizing the primary elements of an effective periodic test program (including planning, performance/acceptance criteria, procedures, test intervals, and documentation). Revision Standard - Active. Criteria for the performance of periodic surveillance testing of nuclear power generating station safety systems are provided in this standard. The scope of periodic surveillance testing consists of functional tests and checks, calibration verification, and time response measurements, as required, to verify that the safety system performs its defined safety function. Post-maintenance and post-modification testing are not covered by this document. The periodic surveillance testing requirements of IEEE NPEC nuclear standards are amplified in this standard. Some design requirements are also identified in this standard.
