Document control and records management for quality assurance in nuclear power plants

This safety guide is part of the AERB's set of codes and guides for assurance of safety in nuclear power plants. It gives requirements and recommendations for document control and records management of any organisation engaged in performing work affecting safety in nuclear power plants. The basic requirements for document control and records are given in AERB Code of Practice on Quality Assurance for Safety in Nuclear Power Plants-AERB Code No. SC/QA, hereinafter referred to as 'the Code'. This safety guide applies to the quality assurance (QA) programme of the responsible organisation (RO), i.e. the organisation having overall responsibility for the nuclear power plant, as well as to QA programmes of participating organisations in each stage of a nuclear power plant and covers items, services and processes impacting nuclear safety. It may, with appropriate modifications, if required, also be usefully applied at nuclear installations other than nuclear power plants
