1 Scope
This standard establishes the minimum requirements for, and guidance regarding, the methods and procedures for quali?cation of power-driven valve actuators with safety-related functions (hereinafter referred to as qualification).
This standard is applicable to qualification of safety-related valve actuators and actuator components in nuclear power plant.

3 Definitions
For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions apply.
3.1
Aging
The effects of operational, environmental, and system conditions on equipment during a period of time up to, but not including design basis events, or the process of simulating these events.
3.2
Air equivalent radiation dose
The energy that is absorbed per unit mass of air at the geometric center of the volume occupied by the specimen if it were replaced with air and a uniform ?ux were incident at the boundary of the volume, directed toward the center.
3.3
Analysis
A course of reasoning showing that a certain result is a consequence of assumed premises.
