Most Code Cases are eventually superseded by revision to the Code and then are annulled by action of the ASME. In such cases, the intent of the annulled Code Case becomes part of the revised Code, and therefore continued use of the Code Case intent is sanctioned under the rules of the Code. In other cases, the Code Case is annulled because it is no longer acceptable or there is no further requirement for it. A Code Case that was approved for a particular situation and not for a generic application should be used only for construction of the approved situation because annulment of such a Code Case could result in construction that would not meet Code requirements.

The Code Cases listed in this guide are limited to those cases applicable to Section III that are oriented toward materials and testing.All published Code Cases in the area of materials and testing that are applicable to Section III of the* JCode and were in effect on March 8, 1989, were reviewed for inclusion in this guide. In addition to the listing of acceptable Code Cases, this revision of the guide includes listings of (1) Code Cases that were identified as acceptable in a prior version of this regulatory guide and that were annulled after the original issuance of this guide (June 1974) and (2) Code Cases that were identified as acceptable in a prior version of this regulatory guide and that were superseded by revised Code Cases after the original issuance of this guide (June 1974). Code Cases that are not listed herein are either not endorsed or will require supplementary provisions on an individual basis to attain endorsement status.The endorsement of a Code Case by this guide constitutes acceptance of its technical position for applications not precluded by regulatory or other requirements or by the recommendations in this or other regulatory guides. Contingent endorsement is indicated in regulatory position C.l.a for specific cases. However, it is the responsibility of the user to make certain that no regulatory requirements are violated and that there are no conflicts with other recommended limitations resulting from Code Case usage.Acceptance or endorsement by the NRC staff applies only to those Code Cases or Code Case revisions with the date of ASME approval as shown in the regulatory position of this guide. Earlier or later revisions of a Code Case are not endorsed by this guide. New Code Cases will require evaluation by the NRC staff to determine if they qualify for inclusion in the approved list. Because of the con-*Lines indicate substantive changes from Revision 26.tinuing change in the status of Code Cases, it is planned that this guide will require periodic updating to accommodate new Code Cases and any revisions of existing Code Cases.C.

Certain applications may exist where a UTS value of up to 190 Ksi could be considered acceptable for a material and, under this condition, the Design Specification should specify impact testing for the material.
 
For these cases, it should be demonstrated by the applicant that (1) the impact test results for the material meet code requirements and (2) the material is not subject to stress corrosion cracking by virtue of the fact that (a) a corrosive environment is not present and (b) the component that contains the material has essentially no residual stresses or assembly stresses, and it does not experience fre-quent sustained loads in service.

This Case was allowed to expire on 3-23-80 because of an administrative error. It was reinstated on 8-25-80 with no technical changes. It is, therefore, considered to be in effect during that lapse in time. The 8-25-83 is the mandatory an-nulment date. The Case did not appear in Revisions

It was reinstated on 9-1-83 with no technical changes. The Case is, therefore, considered in effect during that period of time. Again, Code Case N-265 was allowed to expire on 12-31-84 (mandatory annulment date). It was reinstated as N-265-1 on 5-19-85.Because of the circumstances and because there were no changes in the Code Case, the NRC considers that this Case was in effect during the period of 12-31-84 through 5-19-85.'4 The reason for the conditional acceptance of paragraph
6 is to make certain that there is a qualified ultrasonic testing procedure capable of detecting small flaws and differentiating the small flaws from geometric reflectors.

The purpose of this section is to provide information to applicants regarding the use of this regulatory guide.1. Except for those Code Cases that have been annulled by action of the ASME, the NRC staff has found the Code Cases listed in this regulatory guide under regulatory position C. 1 acceptable for appropriate use. Other Code Cases may be considered for use in accordance with footnote 6 of the Codes and Standards rule, §50.55a of 10ýCFR Part 50.2. Components ordered to a specific version of a Code Case need not be changed because a subsequent revision of the Code Case is listed as the approved version in this guide.3. Components ordered to a Code Case that was previously approved for use need not be changed because the Code Case has been subsequently annulled.4. Code Cases on the approved list may be applied to components that were in process of construction prior to the effective date of the Code Case within the limits specified in the Code Case and applicable regulations or recommended in other regulatory guides.1.85-17 APPENDIX NUMERICAL
