This new edition can els an re laces the f irst edition of IEC 6 7 0, publs ed in 19 8 It

con titutes a tec nical revision It also s p rsedes IEEE Std 3 3-2 0

The main tec nical c an es with regard to IEC 6 7 0:19 8 are as fol ows:

• to harmonize in a u iq e stan ard q al f i ation practices formerly given by

IEC 6 7 0:19 8 an IEEE Std 3 3-2 0 on initial q al f i ation,

• to take into ac ou t the ne d to re s es an exten the q al fied lf e of electrical

previou version of this stan ard by the n cle r in u try

Several is ues are clarified or c an ed in this revision:

• This stan ard defines the method f or eq ipment q al fication when it is desired to q al fy

eq ipment for the a pl cation in the en ironments to whic it may b exp sed This

standard is general y uti zed for q al fication of al electrical eq ipment imp rtant to saf ety

in ac ordan e with IAEA terminolog The doc mentation an test req irements are,

however, more rigorou for eq ipment located in a hars en ironment

• The test margin have b en updated to b t er identify the p rameters that ac ieve test

margin on desig b sis event profi es

• An imp rtant con e t in eq ipment q al f i ation is the recog ition that sig if i ant

degradation could b cau ed by agein mec anisms oc ur in f om the en ironments

d rin the service l f e, an therefore eq ipment imp rtant to saf ety s ould b brou ht to

the en of q al fied lfe (o eratin agein ) prior to imp sin desig b sis event

simulation Previou version recog ised that the p riod of time f or whic ac e ta le

The primary o jective of q al f i ation is to demon trate with re sona le as uran e that

For al items of eq ipment req ired to o erate u der desig exten ion con ition ,

mec anisms exist (se 7.3.3)

5.2 Qual fie l f e a d qual f ie condition

Degradation with time fol owed by exp s re to the a pl ca le en ironmental extremes of

temp rature, pres ure, h midity, radiation, vibration, c emical spray an s bmergen e

res ltin from a DBE con ition can precipitate faiures of eq ipment imp rtant to saf ety For

this re son, it is neces ary to esta ls a q al f ied l fe f or eq ipment with sig if i ant agein

A q al f ied l f e is esta l s ed in initial q al f i ation by put in test sample(s) in the state of

5.4 Qual fic tion doc me tation

6 Qual f ic tion methods

6.1 Initial qual f ication

6.1.1 Type testing

A typ test s bjects a re resentative sample of eq ipment, in lu in its interf aces, to a series

of tests, simulatin the ef fects of sig if i ant agein mec anisms d rin normal o eration

Eq ipment q alf i ation testin s al b p rformed with eq ipment f un tionin in a state

re resentative of its inten ed u e in actual o eration (in lu in an sof tware) The eq ipment

is s bseq ently s bjected to DBE’s testin that simulates an there y esta l s es the tested

con g ration for in taled eq ipment service, in lu in mou tin , orientation, interf aces,

con uit se ln , an exp cted en ironments A s c es f ul typ test demon trates that the

eq ipment at the en of its q al f ied l f e can p rf orm the inten ed safety f un tion(s) f or the

req ired o eratin time b f ore, d rin , an /or f ol owin the DBE

6.1.2 Operating e perience

When q al fi ation f or mid en ironment is req ired, p rf orman e data from eq ipment of

simi ar desig that has s c es ful y o erated u der k own service con ition may b u ed in

6.1.3 Analysis

Analy is of data an tests f or material pro erties, eq ipment ratin , an en ironmental

toleran e may b u ed to s p lement the demon tration of q al f i ation; however analy is

alone s al not b u ed to demon trate q al f i ation Qual fi ation s ould comprise a logical

as es ment, simi arity evaluation or a val d mathematical model of the eq ipment to b

those col ected d rin typ test p rf ormed on eq ipment f rom the plant se 6.2.3 an

6.1.4 Combined methods

Eq ipment may b q al f ied by combination of typ test, o eratin experien e, an analy is

For example, where typ test of a complete as embly is not p s ible, comp nent testin

s p lemented by analy is may b u ed

6.2.4 Method 3: Performing type te t f or long r qual f ie l f e

A lon er q al fied l fe can b ac ieved by either retain an contin e agein the test sample

from the initial program f or ad itional d ration or b gin agein a new sample whi e the

q al f ied eq ipment is in service Eq ipment saf ety fun tion is then demon trated by

s c es ful y p s in ac ident con ition test

6.2.5 Method 4: Compon nt repla eme t

Identif y age-sen itive comp nents an re lace them with new, identical comp nents to exten

q al f i ation Con ideration s al b given to time req ired to have the comp nent ac es ible

for the re lacement

This method s al not b u ed if the disas embly of the eq ipment can alter its p rf orman e

6.3 Condition monitoring

The con ition in icator s al b me s ra le, c an e monotonical y with time, b cor elated
