This standard specifies criteria for the independence that can be achieved by physical separation and electrical isolation of equipment and circuits that are redundant.
This standard is applicable to the class 1E equipment and relevant electrical equipment and circuits in nuclear power plants.
This standard is not applicable to the determination of what equipment and circuits are redundant.
