Study Notes
Design and Development Controls
- Implementation of controls in the design and development process is critical to define intended results effectively.
- Regular reviews assess the ability of design outputs to meet specified requirements.
- Verification activities confirm that design outputs satisfy the input requirements, ensuring quality in the design process.
- Validation activities verify that the final products or services meet specified application requirements and intended use.
- Prompt corrective actions must be taken on any problems identified during reviews, verification, and validation.
- Documentation of all activities related to design and development must be retained for accountability and traceability.
- Advancement to the next project phase requires explicit authorization based on the successful completion of prior stages.
Distinct Purposes of Reviews, Verification, and Validation
- Design reviews, verifications, and validations can occur separately or concurrently, tailored to organizational needs.
- Measures should be established to identify and manage design interfaces, ensuring the adequacy of the design.
- Verification is to be conducted by individuals or groups independent from the original designers to ensure objectivity.
- Each verification method must be clearly documented, whether it involves design review, alternate calculations, or tests.
Design Analyses and Verification Requirements
- Design analyses must be reviewed by qualified individuals for quality assurance of results.
- Detailed documentation is necessary: purpose, methods, assumptions, inputs, references, and units must be included.
- Maintain traceability of calculations by subject, originator, reviewer, and date for accountability.
Testing for Verification and Validation
- Testing processes must be planned, controlled, reviewed, and documented to prove compliance with requirements.
- Test plans must identify test items, necessary resources, objectives, conditions, parameters, and acceptance criteria.
- Test procedures must clearly describe methods of performing tests and the documentation of results.
- Ensure the correct configuration of items for testing, adhering to test plans and procedures.
- Acceptance criteria defined in the test documentation must be met for successful verification.
Control of Monitoring and Measuring Devices
- Monitoring and measuring devices used during testing must comply with predefined control measures to ensure accuracy and reliability.
Completion of Design and Development Phase
- Upon completion, reports, calculations, and test results must demonstrate compliance with specification requirements under all operational conditions.
NQA-1 / 10 CFR Part 50-Appendix B Guidelines
- Establish a comprehensive test program to ensure the performance of structures, systems, and components (SSCs) in service.
- The test program should include proof tests before installation, preoperational tests, and operational tests for nuclear facilities.
- Tests must follow written procedures incorporating design requirements and acceptance limits, executed by qualified personnel.
- Comprehensive documentation of testing activities is required, detailing items tested, test dates, personnel involved, observations, results, and actions taken for deviations.
