ANSI/IEEE Std 323-1984, IEEE Standard for Qualifying Class IE Equipment for Nuclear Power Generating Stations, was developed to provide qualification requirements for Class IE (safety-related) electrical equipments that would confirm the adequacy of such equipments to perform their safety functions on a continuing basis throughout their installed life. This document is based on ANSI/IEEE Std 323-1983 and is intended to present specific qualification procedures for switchgear assemblies in Class IE application.

This IEEE Standards product is part of the C37 family on Switchgear, Substations and Protective Relays. Methods and requirements for qualifying switchgear assemblies for indoor areas outside of the containment area in nuclear power generating stations are described. These assemblies include metal-enclosed low-voltage power circuit breaker switchgear assemblies, metal-clad switchgear assemblies, and metal-enclosed interrupter switchgear assemblies. This standard amplifies the general requirements of ANSI/IEEE 323-1983, IEEE Standard for Qualifying Class 1E Equipment for Nuclear Power Generating Stations, as they apply to Class 1E switchgear assemblies.
