4.1.2 Verification is to be based on performance standards that are subject to approval by LR for each critical system/element derived from the risk assessment.

4.1.3 LR will produce a project-specific Verification Plan for each case. This will cover the following key aspects:

  2. Review and approval of performance standards derived from the risk assessment.
  3. Examination of design to confirm that the critical elements meet the agreed performance standards.
  4. Examination during manufacture, construction, installation and commissioning to confirm that the critical elements meet the approved performance standards.

This will include the projectspecific Verification Plan, and detailed work instructions for verification of each critical element at each stage of the project. The Owner/Operator is to co-operate with this management process and the requirements of the Verification Plan, and is to provide all necessary information and access for LR to carry out its verification tasks.
