Course Description

Learn how to qualify your safety-critical equipment, whether it is mechanical or electrical. The general process of equipment qualification is explained as well as different qualification and testing methods. Various examples will be provided to illustrate the introduced methods. Apply your newly gained knowledge in two practical applications by conducting a systematic failure mode analysis and elaborating a concept on how to best select the test specimen as part of type testing. Furthermore, learn how to qualify commercial grade items for the application in nuclear facilities. Align the qualification process to the requirements of your equipment and counteract possible problems at an early stage to save time and money.
