As indicated in the footnotes to 10 CFR 50.55a, the use of certain Code cases may be authorized pursuant to 50.55a(a)(3).'0 CFR 50.55a(a)(3)(i) permits licensees to propose alternatives to the regulatory requirements when the licensee can demonstrate that the proposed alternative would provide an acceptable level of quality and safety.
Code Case N-415, was incorporated in Revision 5 of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.147.
Incorporation into this RG indicates that following the requirements of the Code Case would provide an acceptable level of quality and safety for the testing of safety related pressure relief devices.
The RG endorsement does not contain any reservation; therefore, the Code Case is acceptable for the intended use without any restrictions in operating plants.
