skos:definition "1. The function of a 'management system' that provides confidence that <br/>
specified 'requirements' will be fulfilled.<br/>
<b>!</b> The IAEA is revising the 'requirements' and guidance in the subject area of <br/>
'quality assurance' for new 'safety standards' on 'management systems' for the <br/>'safety' of nuclear 'facilities and activities' involving the use of 'ionizing radiation'. <br/>The term 'management system' has been adopted in the revised standards <br/>instead of the terms 'quality assurance' and ‘'quality' 'assurance' programme’.<br/>Planned and systematic actions are necessary to provide adequate confidence <br/>that an item, 'process' or service will satisfy given 'requirements' for quality; for <br/>
example, those specified in the 'licence'. This statement is slightly modified <br/>from that in ISO 921:1997 (Nuclear Energy: Vocabulary) [7] to say ‘an item, <br/>'process' or service’ instead of ‘a product or service’ and to add the example. A <br/>more general definition of 'quality assurance' and definitions of related terms <br/>can be found in ISO 8402:1994 [35].<br/>
2. A systematic programme of 'controls' and 'inspections' applied by any <br/>
organization or body involved in the 'transport' of 'radioactive material' which is <br/>aimed at providing adequate confidence that the standard of 'safety' prescribed <br/>in [the Transport] Regulations is achieved in practice. (From Ref. [2].)<br/>
3. All those planned and systematic actions necessary to provide <br/>
confidence that a 'structure, system or component' will perform satisfactorily in <br/>service. (From Ref. [35].)<br/>" (en)
