Section 37 of 105
36. Verification Method
Stable section ID: S05-CON-014-SECTION-37 · 28 content blocks
Every mandatory Rule shall define or reference an appropriate verification method.
Verification may use:
- Engineering analysis.
- Calculation.
- Simulation.
- Design review.
- Document review.
- Material testing.
- Component testing.
- Interface testing.
- Prototype testing.
- Physical measurement.
- Manufacturing inspection.
- Installation inspection.
- Functional testing.
- Commissioning.
- Digital validation.
- Compiler validation.
- Cybersecurity testing.
- Operational monitoring.
- Lifecycle audit.
- Post-event inspection.
- Expert engineering judgment.
- The method shall be proportionate to the consequence of failure and the uncertainty of the evidence.
- Where several methods are permitted, the conditions and limitations of each shall be identified.
Simulation shall not replace physical evidence where model uncertainty, novel behavior, workmanship, degradation, or complex failure modes make physical testing necessary.
Verification shall remain independent from the desired result. The same party may perform design and verification only where permitted by the applicable criticality and independence requirements.
Verification procedures shall identify inputs, equipment, calibration, sampling, environmental conditions, competency, repeatability, and required records where relevant.
