Section 3:
INITIAL CERTIFICATION
Introduction. This chapter describes the criteria that
3.1
must be met to obtain initial certification for an unmanned
pressure test facility. Assembly of the necessary
OQE and adherence to these criteria should coincide with the
design and construction or fabrication of the new system. For a
system designed, manufactured, and placed in service outside the
purview of this document (i.e., a system built by and for private
interests, placed in service, then purchased by DOD), the task of
assembling the necessary documentation may be very difficult, if
not impossible. In such cases, additional testing and analysis
is generally required. The level of documentation complexity
will vary according to the class of the facility. (See Tables 1
and 2.)
Design Review Information The applicant should submit
3.2
the documentation and evidence described in the following
paragraphs to the SCA for review and approval. During review of
this evidence, the SCA may require the applicant to supply
additional information. If, in the course of supplying
designer and or builder to disclose information he considers
proprietary or classified, he should so identify it. The SCA
should cooperate with the designer and builder in the protection
of such information.
The design documentation submitted by the applicant for review
and approval should include the following:
a)
SOC
b)
MES
c)
Summary description of the system
d)
Subsystem descriptions
e)
Design parameters
f)
(1)
Design calculations
(2)
Stress analysis
g)
System drawings
h)
