12. Surveillance Programmes
operating personnel comply with standing orders to bring the plant back into safe
conditions if an unplanned violation of the operational limits and conditions is observed
or foreseen. Appropriate briefing on this subject should be held before such tests and
experiments are performed. The procedure is submitted to the regulatory body for prior
approval, as required.
12.2.6.6. Test equipment
The operating organization ensures that all test equipment, whether called for in the
design or otherwise required for the surveillance programme, is available, operable and
calibrated. In so far as practical, test equipment should be permanently installed.
A programme is established and maintained for calibration and control of test equipment
and reference standards used in surveillance. The programme provides for prompt
detection of inaccuracies, and for timely and effective corrective action. This programme
includes the following general requirements:
Equipment identification: test equipment used as calibration reference standards is
identified to enable their calibration status to be verified;
Use of equipment: before test equipment is used in a surveillance test, its
calibration status and operability is verified;
Calibration procedures: detailed procedures are to be provided for the calibration of
test equipment; the accuracy of calibration is to be commensurate with functional
requirements and, where appropriate, reference standards are used; and
Calibration records: records are to be maintained for each piece of equipment to
demonstrate that established schedules and procedures for calibrating test
equipment and reference standards have been followed.
Test equipment accuracy, range, resolution: before test equipment is used, its
accuracy, operating range and resolution is checked to assure it is suitable for the
