N286.7-94
1.1
This Standard applies to the design and development, modification,
documentation, execution, and configuration management of computer programs
used to perform analytical, scientific, and design computations during the
design and analysis of safety-related nuclear power plant equipment, systems,
structures, and components as identified by the owner.
1.2
The principal activities associated with such computer programs are shown in
Figure 1.1. This functional model illustrates the main interactions between
these elements. The double arrows indicate how the principal activities
influence each other. For example, a modification may affect the execution of
a computer program. Also, experience with a computer program during execution
may lead to a modification.
Solid lines in Figure 1.1 indicate interactions between activities within the
scope of the Standard. Interpretation of computer program results for design
and analysis is outside the scope of this Standard and is normally covered by
the requirements of CSA Standard CAN3-N286.2.
1.3
This Standard does not apply to commercially available and widely used
database, spreadsheet, and graphics computer programs, or compilers,
interpreters, and operating systems.
1.4
This Standard applies to owners and designated participants who have
implemented quality assurance programs in accordance with the applicable CSA
Standard in the CAN/CSA-N286 series of Standards. The requirements identified
in this Standard complement those requirements in the CAN/CSA-N286 series of
Standards to ensure that a complete set of quality assurance program
requirements is applied to computer programs in analytical, scientific, and
design applications. In particular, this applies to audits and
quality assurance program reviews.
1.5
Where computer programs and associated documentation are procured from vendors
who are not participants, the appropriate requirements of the CAN/CSA-Q396
series of Standards, as defined by the procuring organization, apply.
