Design & Engineering Substantiation
An accurate and comprehensive Engineering Schedule is an essential component of a safety case, the expectations of which are detailed in the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) Safety Assessment Principles (SAPs).
There is a wealth of Standards and Guidance available via the various International and National advisory and regulating bodies.
For over 50 years the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has developed a safety standards programme. More than 200 safety standards have been published which reflect an international consensus on what constitutes a high level of safety for protecting people and the environment.

The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) Safety Assessment Principles (SAPs), specifically principle EQU.1 Equipment Qualification (EQ), identifies the requirement for EQ procedures to confirm that Structures, Systems and Components (SSCs) will perform their allocated safety function(s) in all normal operational, fault and accident conditions identified in the safety case for the duration of their operational lives.
