1.1 General

The standard  provides a unified best practice for measuring and reporting the power consumption of a range of three phase low voltage equipment where the equipment is not delivering an intended service to a user in commercial and industrial applications. The specified test methods are applicable for a single equipment and  not to be used for a set of equipment.

NOTE1  The measurement of power consumption and performance of equipment during an intended use (active mode) are generally specified in the relevant equipment standards and are not covered by this standard.

NOTE2  Where this standard is referenced by performance standards or procedures, these should define and name the relevant mode (see clause 3) to which this test procedure is applied.

NOTE3 This Standard does not specify safety requirements. It does not specify minimum performance requirements, nor does it set maximum limits on power or energy consumption.

1.2 Inclusions

The standard is applicable to the following products:

Three-phase AC electrical energy consuming commercial and industrial equipment with rated voltage up to 690 V and not in active mode

Air-cooled equipment

1.3 Exclusions

This Standard is not intended for use for the following systems:

DC, single, or two phase electrical commercial and industrial equipment

Household electrical appliances covered by CAN-CSA-C62301-11 (R2021)

Water-cooled equipment

Non electrical energy consuming commercial and industrial equipment such as backup generators

1.4 Measurement units

SI units of measurement should be used in the application of this standard; however, other units may be used for testing provided that they are used consistently and converted to SI units for the reporting purposes.

1.5 Terminology

In this Standard, “shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with this Standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of this Document.

Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.

Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements.

Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.

1.1 Inclusions

This Standard specifies the requirements for an EQ program for nuclear power plants (NPPs) (see Figure 1). The EQ program comprises a set of planned and coordinated activities establishing auditable assurance that equipment will

perform safety functions in a harsh environment following the DBA(s) for which it is credited; and

meet or exceed its functional and performance requirements, taking into consideration the effects of normal service.

Note: While this standard focuses on EQ programs for NPPs, it provides guidance that may be useful for other nuclear facilities, including research reactors and non-reactor facilities where EQ considerations apply

1.2 Exclusions

Equipment demonstrated to be in a mild environment after a DBA are not subject to the requirements of this Standard.

DEC survivability assessments are outside the scope of an EQ program. However, this Standard provides optional guidance (see Annex B) on how to demonstrate, with reasonable confidence, that equipment and instrumentation credited to operate during DEC will be capable of performing their intended safety function(s) under the expected environmental conditions.

Notes:

Post-DBA harsh environment conditions addressed by an EQ program are a subset of service conditions required to be addressed as part of overall equipment qualification. Service conditions can also include seismic vibration, severe weather, external floods, electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference, and fire. Equipment qualification to demonstrate performance in these conditions is outside of this Standard’s scope. For further guidance on equipment qualification, see IEC/IEEE 60780-323.

For general requirements on beyond design basis accidents (BDBAs), see CSA N290.16.

1.3 Facility lifecycle considerations

This Standard presents the requirements for establishing and preserving EQ to confirm the adequacy of the equipment to meet its design intent. This considers:

the effects of aging on equipment’s ability to perform its safety function(s) during and following a DBA;

the need to minimize common-cause unsafe failures under accident conditions;

the preservation of EQ during maintenance or modification of equipment and systems; and

the procurement of equipment and components.

Note: Although life extension projects can change the design life of the plant, maintaining EQ program as detailed in this Standard, including the change control process, will provide adequate guidance for continued operation. For example, temporary changes in safety functions during different operational states might exist during life-extension projects.

1.4 Conflicts

In cases of conflict between this Standard and other Standards which it references, this Standard takes precedence.

1.5 Terminology                                                                      

In this Standard, “shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard.

1.1 Inclusions

Cette norme énonce les exigences relatives au programme de qualification environnementale pour les centrales nucléaires (voir la figure 1). Le programme de qualification environnementale comprend un ensemble d’activités planifiées et coordonnées qui établissent une assurance vérifiable que l’équipement :

exécute les fonctions de sûreté pour lesquelles il est crédité dans un environnement agressif après les accidents de dimensionnement; et

respecte ou dépasse les exigences relatives à son fonctionnement et à son rendement, en tenant compte des effets d’un service normal.

Note : Bien que la présente norme mette l’accent sur les programmes de qualification environnementale pour les centrales nucléaires, elle présente des directives qui peuvent être utiles pour d’autres installations nucléaires, y compris les réacteurs de recherche et les installations sans réacteur où des considérations relatives à la qualification environnementale s’appliquent.

1.2 Exclusions

L’équipement démontré comme étant dans un environnement peu agressif après un accident de dimensionnement n’est pas assujetti aux exigences de cette norme.

Les évaluations de la capacité de survie dans des conditions additionnelles de dimensionnement sont hors du domaine d’application d’un programme de qualification environnementale. Cependant, cette norme fournit des directives facultatives (voir l’annexe B) sur la façon de démontrer, avec une confiance raisonnable, que l’équipement et l’instrumentation crédités pour fonctionner dans des conditions additionnelles de dimensionnement seront capables d’exécuter leurs fonctions de sûreté prévues dans les conditions environnementales attendues.

Notes :

Les conditions environnementales aggressives après un accident de dimensionnement qui sont visées par un programme de qualification environnementale forment un sous-ensemble des conditions de service devant être traitées dans le cadre de la qualification globale de l’équipement. Les conditions de service pourraient aussi inclure les vibrations sismiques, les phénomènes météorologiques violents, les inondations externes, les interférences électromagnétiques, les interférences aux fréquences radioélectriques et les incendies. La qualification de l’équipement visant à démontrer le rendement dans ces conditions est hors du domaine d’application de cette norme. Pour obtenir d’autres directives sur la qualification de l’équipement, voir IEC/IEEE 60780-323.

Pour les exigences générales sur les accidents hors dimensionnement, voir CSA N290.16.

1.3 Considérations relatives au cycle de vie de l’installation

Cette norme énonce les exigences relatives à l’établissement et au maintien de la qualification environnementale visant à confirmer que l’équipement est adéquat pour répondre aux objectifs de sa conception. Cela tient compte de ce qui suit :

les effets du vieillissement sur la capacité de l’équipement à exécuter sa ou ses fonctions de sûreté pendant et après un accident de dimensionnement;

la nécessité de réduire au minimum les défaillances non sécuritaires de cause commune dans des conditions d’accident;

la préservation de la qualification environnementale pendant l’entretien ou la modification de l’équipement et des systèmes; et

l’acquisition d’équipement et de composants.

Note : Bien que les projets de prolongation de la durée de vie puissent changer la durée de vie nominale de la centrale, le maintien du programme de qualification environnementale comme le décrit en détail la présente norme, y compris le processus de contrôle des changements, fournira des directives adéquates pour la poursuite de l’exploitation. Par exemple, des changements temporaires dans les fonctions de sûreté pendant différents états opérationnels pourraient se produire lors des projets de prolongation de la durée de vie.
