ExperienceinConformityAssessmentofProductsandServicesforRussianNPPsandOverseas NuclearPowerPlant New Builds • Since 2007 therehas been NP-071 standard,a documentofRostekhnadzor(theregulatorybodyofRussia), in Russiawhichdeterminestheneed for conformity assessmentofequipmentandservices. • Thedocumentdefinesfourformsofconformityassessment: • - Testing • - Acceptanceofequipment • - Certification • - Statesupervision • Therequirementsofthisdocumentapplytoequipmentanditscomponentsrelatedtosafetyclasses 1, 2 and 3(systemsandequipmentimportantforsafety)
Onthebasisofthisdocument,the RussianUtility(Rosenergoatom) developed a document,RD EO1.1.2.01.0713-2007,thatclarifiedthespecificfeaturesoftheseformsofconformityassessment, participants, scopesofapplication, deliverabledocuments,etc. Both Russian and foreign enterprises had these documentsin placeas a guidance for conformityassessmentduring development(design) andmanufactureofequipmentforRussiannuclearpowerplants. Therequirementssetforthinthesedocumentswerealsoappliedfor comformity assessment of equipmentforforeignnuclearpowerplants (Belarus, China, India).
