This review should also include relay contacts, control switches, and other relevant electrical components within these systems, utilized in the logic circuits performing a safety function; and 2.
Modify the surveillance procedures as necessary for complete testing to comply with the technical specifications. Additionally, the licensee' may request an amendment to the technical specifications if relief from certain testing requirements can be justified.
