Nuclear power plants - Instrumentation and control systems important to safety - Surveillance testing

Lays down principles for testing I&C systems performing category A, B and C functions, per IEC 61226, during normal power operation and shutdown, so as to check the functional availability especially with regard to the detection of faults that could prevent the proper operation of the functions important to safety. Covers the possibility of testing at short intervals or continuous surveillance, as well as periodic testing at longer intervals. It also establishes basic rules for the design and application of the test equipment and its interface with the systems important to safety. The main change with respect to the previous edition includes an extension of the scope to cover all systems important to safety, and a requirement gradation for systems and equipment performing category A, B and C functions.

Kernkraftwerke - Leittechnik für Systeme mit sicherheitstechnischer Bedeutung - Prüfungen zur Sicherstellung der Funktionsfähigkeit

Centrales nucléaires de puissance - Systèmes d'instrumentation et de contrôle-commande importants pour la sûreté - Essais de surveillance

Etablit les principes applicables aux systèmes d'I&C réalisant des fonctions de catégories A, B ou C, telles que définies par la CEI 61226, durant le fonctionnement normal en puissance ou les arrêts de l'installation, de façon à en vérifier la disponibilité fonctionnelle en particulier en ce qui concerne la détection des défauts qui pourraient empêcher le bon fonctionnement des fonctions importantes pour la sûreté. Traite des capacités d'essais réalisés à intervalles courts ou de surveillance continue, aussi bien que d'essais périodiques réalisés à intervalles plus longs. Etablit aussi les règles de base de conception et de réalisation des essais matériels et de leur interface avec les systèmes importants pour la sûreté. Le changement technique principal par rapport à l'édition précédente est une extension du domaine de la norme pour couvrir tous les systèmes importants pour la sûreté, et la gradation des exigences pour les systèmes et matériels réalisant des fonctions de catégorie A, B ou C.

Jedrske elektrarne - Merilna in nadzorna oprema za zagotavljanje varnosti - Nadzorno preskušanje

Kjer splošni varnostni standardi zahtevajo funkcionalno zanesljivost, je en vidik dokazovanja take zanesljivosti preskušanje, ki se izvaja sproti med obratovanjem elektrarne ali med prekinitvijo obratovanja elektrarne pri pripravi za povratek k obratovanju. Ta standard določa načela za preskušanje merilne in nadzorne opreme, ki izvaja funkcije kategorije A, B in C, v skladu z IEC 61226, med normalnim obratovanjem in prekinitvijo obratovanja elektrarne, da se preveri funkcionalna razpoložljivost, predvsem glede zaznavanja napak, ki bi lahko preprečile pravilno delovanje funkcij za zagotavljanje varnosti. Zajema preskušanje s kratkimi intervali ali neprekinjen nadzor ter občasno preskušanje z daljšimi intervali. Vzpostavlja tudi osnovna pravila za načrtovanje in uporabo preskusne opreme in vmesnika z opremo za zagotavljanje varnosti. Obravnavan je tudi učinek napake preskusne opreme na zanesljivost merilne in nadzorne opreme. Vrste nadzornih preskusov lahko vključujejo: - samopreskušanje merilne in nadzorne opreme; - preskus skupine opreme ali sestavnih delov za potrditev lastnosti, ki podpirajo varnostno funkcijo (neprekinjenost, razpoložljivost energije itd.); - preskus na osnovi redundance informacij ali primerjave kontrolnih podpisov (preverjanje ujemanja za redundantne senzorje, CRC-preverjanje, preskusna vsota itd.); - občasno preskušanje, povezano s pravilnostjo funkcionalnega vedenja merilne in nadzorne opreme. Cilji zanesljivosti merilne in nadzorne opreme se dosežejo z uporabo ustrezne kombinacije zgoraj navedenih preskusov. Obseg preskušanja merilne in nadzorne opreme sega od vmesnika s senzorji s postopkom do sprožilne naprave. Velja za nameščeno merilno in nadzorno opremo ter za začasne napeljave, ki so del merilne in nadzorne opreme za zagotavljanje varnosti (na primer, pomožna oprema za preskuse in poskuse ob usposobitvi za zagon). Ta standard velja tudi za posamezno elektromehansko opremo, kot so releji in elektromagnetni aktivatorji. Na merilni in nadzorni opremi se lahko izvajata preskušanje in nadzor, ki nista namenjena dokazovanju funkcionalne zmogljivosti, na primer za optimizacijo preventivnega vzdrževanja itd. Taki preskusi so zunaj obsega uporabe tega standarda, lahko pa se kombinirajo z nadzornim preskušanjem, ki se tu obravnava. Pri katerem koli sprotnem preskusu je treba pozorno raziskati morebitne interakcije in odvisnosti od napak med delom preskušane opreme in preskusnim delom, njihove vplive pa je treba celovito vključiti v ocenjevanje zanesljivosti funkcij za zagotavljanje varnosti (v skladu z IEC 61513).
