Recommendations • SQA for software identified in ACE • Program shall be developed using 414.1-4 as guidance or be based on a consensus standard • Authority needs to be established to identify/approve equivalent controls/processes when requirements can not be implemented as written in order/standards • SQA for other software • Should be risk based (Graded Approach) • Specify minimum requirements, e.g. documented design criteria, configuration management, testing protocols • Linked to the 10 basic QA criteria in 414.1C 3
Status of 414.1, Quality Assurance Next revision of QA Order > 414.1D Addresses SQA in non-nuclear facilities (current status - comment resolution phase) Suggested Action Plan Assess implemented SQA program against requirements in revised order.
