3.1.1 Standards Justification is to establish that the proposed project specifications,
Rules Codes and standards satisfy the Submarine Assurance Framework Performance
Requirements and therefore the corresponding Functional Objectives and Goals of the
framework and therefore are considered to be acceptable solutions.
3.1.2 The approach to verification of the Standards Plan and Justification Document is to
be agreed between the submarine designer and LR prior to any verification activity
and in accordance with the Submarine Assurance Plan.
3.1.3 The scope of verification of the Standards Plan and Justification Document to be
carried out by LR and the roles of the entities involved are to be in accordance
with the Submarine Assurance Plan.
3.1.4 Arrangements for accessing project specifications, Rules Codes and standards are to
be provided.
3.1.5 Arrangements for managing non-compliances in accordance with their categorisation are
to be agreed. The impact of non-compliances is to be established.
3.1.6 Arrangements for reporting the results of verification activities are to be defined.
3.1.7 Verification is to ensure that solutions for all of the framework Performance
Requirements within the scope of Submarine Assurance as defined in the Submarine
Assurance Plan are identified.
3.1.8 Verification is to ensure that solutions fully satisfy the framework Performance
Requirements for both specific submarine system Performance Requirements and Whole
Boat Performance Requirements.
3.1.9 Verification is to ensure that solutions are consistent with the ConOpS, the System
Operational Concept, the System Design Description and where available, the
Operational envelope for the submarine.
3.1.10 Verification is to ensure that solutions are sufficiently justified and supported by
documented evidence, e.g. analysis, simulation, testing, in-service experience
etc.
3.1.11 Where in-service experience is proposed as evidence of suitability, the in-service
experience is to be sufficiently representative and include operation under normal,
abnormal and emergency operating conditions.
