- Interpretation. Clarification regarding the

Rules, Codes and standards to the design. Interpretations including the
requirement together with the interpretation and the rationale for the
interpretation are to be documented by the designer and agreed by LR.
- Non-compliance. Intended or unintendeddeviations from
the Project specifications, Rules Codes and standards. Categories of
non-compliance are:
- Equivalent Solution. Intended non-compliance
with individual requirements within the Project specifications, Rules,
Codes and standards which are considered to provide equivalence to the
intent of the prescribed requirements. To be prepared by the designer
and agreed with LR, and Naval Administration.
- Alternative Solution. Intended
non-compliance with multiple related requirements within the
Project specifications, Rules, Codes and standards which are considered
to provide an alternative to those requirements. To be prepared by the
designer and agreed with LR, Navy and Naval Administration.
- Exemption. Intended non-compliance with the
requirements within the Project specifications, Rules, Codes and
standards which are not considered by LR to provide an acceptable
equivalent or alternative arrangements. To be prepared by the designer
and agreed with the Navy and Naval Administration.
- Defect. Unintended non-compliance with
Project specifications, Rules, Codes and standards which is to be
assessed for the impact on the design. Rectification or retention of the
defect is to be proposed and justified by the designer and agreed with
LR, Navy and Naval Administration.
- Objective Quality Evidence. A record which
demonstrates the quality of a product based on physical measurements,
observations or tests which have been appropriately verified. The record and
evidence are to demonstrate compliance with projects specifications, Rules,
Codes and standards and are to include sufficient information to support future
verification activities.
- Operating constraint. Constraints on the operation of
the submarine imposed as a result of defects in design or build that affect the
submarine Operational envelope. To be prepared by the designer and agreed with
LR, Navy and Naval Administration and reflected in the submarine Operational
envelope.
- Solution. Project specifications, Rules Codes and
standards, the requirements of which, which when correctly applied, are
considered to satisfy framework Performance Requirements and therefore the
corresponding Functional Objectives and Goals of the framework.
