DOE wide rollout conducted
HEPA Filter Test Facility
Relocation
DOE O 414.1C, Quality
Assurance
Revised QA Order issued in June 2005
SQA 2002-1 Implementation Plan Commitment
Now supported by 4 Guides
DOE G 414.1-1A, Management Assessment and Independent
Assessment
DOE G 414.1-2A, Quality Assurance Management System Guide for
use with 10 CFR 830.120 and DOE O 414.1C, Quality Assurance
(Revision issued with DOE O 414.1C)
DOE G 414.1-3, Suspect/Counterfeit Items Guide for use with 10
CFR 830.120 and DOE O 414.1C, Quality Assurance
DOE G 414.1-4, Safety Software Guide for use with 10 CFR 830.120
and DOE O 414.1C, Quality Assurance New guide issued with DOE
O 414.1C)
DOE O 414.1C, Quality
Assurance (continued)
Invokes ASME NQA-1-2000,supplemented
by other consensus standards or other
consensus standards that provide an
equivalent level of SQA requirements
The definition of Safety Software was
revised to clarify Safety Management and
Administrative Controls Software
Ten Software Quality Assurance work
activities identified
DOE O 414.1C, Quality
Assurance (continued)
Sites define grading levels and consensus
standards in DOE approved QAP or other
appropriate DOE approved document
Using the grading levels, select and
implement the applicable software quality
assurance work activities defined in the
Order
Identification, documentation, and
maintenance of safety software inventory
Definitions added from 10 CFR 830
Application of ASME
NQA-1 2000
“…ASME NQA-1-2000, Quality Assurance
Requirements for Nuclear Facility Applications, or
other national or international consensus standards
that provide an equivalent level of quality assurance
requirements as NQA-1-2000, must be used to
implement these work activities. The standards used
must be specified by the user and approved by DOE.
DOE Guide G 414.1- 4 provides acceptable
implementation strategies and appropriate
standards for these work activities.”
New Safety Software Definition
Safety System Software: Software for a
nuclear facility that performs a safety function
as part of a structure, system, or component
and is cited in either (a) a DOE approved
documented safety analysis or (b) an approved
hazard analysis per DOE P 450.4, Safety
Management System Policy, dated 10-15-96,
and the DEAR clause.
New Safety Software Definition
(continued)
Safety and Hazard Analysis Software and
Design Software: Software that is used to
classify, design, or analyze nuclear
facilities. This software is not part of a
structure, system, or component (SSC) but
helps to ensure the proper accident or hazards
analysis of nuclear facilities or an SSC that
performs a safety function.
New Safety Software Definition
(continued)
Safety Management and Administrative Controls
Software: Software that performs a hazard control
function in support of nuclear facility or radiological
safety management programs or technical safety
requirements or other software that performs a control
function necessary to provide adequate protection from
nuclear facility or radiological hazards. This software
supports eliminating, limiting, or mitigating nuclear
hazards to workers, the public, or the environment as
addressed in 10 CFR 830, 10 CFR 835, and the DEAR
ISMS clause.
SQA Work Activities

removing tool box codes from Central
Registry
Cross references from ASME NQA-1-2000 to
10 CFR 830 and DOE O 414.1C
Sample Criteria Review and Approach
Document for DOE O 414.1C
Impact of DOE O 414.1C,
Quality Assurance
Update and maintain an inventory of safety
software
