This document describes the basic requirements for the qualification of Class I electric equipment. This is equipment which is essential to the safe shutdown or isolation of the reactor or whose failure or damage could result in significant release of radio active material

The Purpose of the document is to provide guidance for demonstrating the qualifications of electrical equipment as required in the IEEE Std 279 -- Criteria for Nuclear Power Generating Station Protection Systems, and IEEE Std 308 -- Criteria for Class IE Electric Systems for Nuclear Power Generating Stations. The qualification methods described may be used in conjunction with the Guides for qualifying specif types of equipment, (See Forward), for updating qualification following modifications of for qualifying equipment for which no applicable Guide exists
