CHAPTER 9
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS AND CROSS-DISCIPLINE COORDINATION
9-1
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
9-1.1
General. The highest security should be applied close to the critical asset.
Avoid burdening the entire general population with the highest level of security. Other
considerations include:
9-1.1.1
All PCUs should be located within the secure area.
9-1.1.2 Enunciators, controls and displays subsystems should be located in restricted
areas and closed off from public view.
9-1.2
Certifications and Listings. Equipment and systems should be proven with
a demonstrated history of reliability. One mean of achieving this criteria is to specify
listed or certified products/systems such as:
9-1.2.1 United States: Underwriter's Laboratory (UL)or similar nationally recognized
testing and listing agency. Refer to UL 294 for a standard on ACS.
9-1.2.2 European Union CE listing. CE certifications, referred to as "CE Marking" may
be required by the Host Nation for systems provided in Europe. The letters "CE" are an
abbreviation of a French phrase "Conformite Europeene". The marking indicates that
the manufacturer has conformed with all the obligations required by the European Union
(EU) marketplace.
9-1.3
System Acceptance Testing. This section discusses system testing and
ownership acceptance procedures and provides sample system commissioning
documents.
9-1.3.1 Labeling. Major equipment should have labels to identify the system and
device. Cables should be labeled at origination, termination, and within enclosures
using permanent labels.
9-1.3.2 Test Documentation and Acceptance Forms. Normally the ESS designer's
technical specifications or Scope-of-Work will include requirements for test
documentation as prescribed by other DoD mandates. Currently a UFC on testing
procedures is under development.
9-1.3.3 Pre-Test walkthrough. A pre-test walkthrough should be performed by the
contractor before the final acceptance testing. This allows the final acceptance test to
go smoothly and prevents mishaps and additional testing.
9-1.3.4 Training. Consideration should be given to administrator and operator
training. The ESS designer should consider adding the number of hours required to the
appropriate portion of system specifications. Typically, several training sessions with a
