1 Scope This standard specifies the separation requirements to be met for nuclear power plant instrumentation and control (I&C) systems and their cables important to safety. This standard is applicable to nuclear power plant I&C systems, and their cables, that are important to safety. It is also applicable to temporary installations which are part of those I&C systems important to safety (for example, auxiliary equipment for commissioning tests and experiments). This standard applies to the I&C of new nuclear power plants as well as to I&C upgrading or back-fitting of existing plants. For existing nuclear power plants, only a subset of the requirements is applicable; this subset is to be identified at the beginning of any project. 2 Normative References The following documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
