SSM Appendix 1
Document no: 15-36
Special conditions for the ESS facility in Lund
Chapter 5: Mechanical devices
Condition D: Classification
1. Mechanical equipment shall be divided into classes to control the design requirements and
quality assurance measures in the design, manufacture, and installation and repair of equipment
intended for use at the facility. These classes shall be determined with regard to the significance
of the mechanical integrity of the equipment for facility safety in all events up to and including
the event class improbable events (H4A).
2. Mechanical equipment shall be designed, manufactured, installed and inspected in accordance
with conditions D3-6 and D9-13 conditions. For the design and manufacture of pressure
equipment where deficiencies or malfunctions will not cause emission of radioactive substances,
the Swedish Work Environment Authority regulations on pressure equipment and simple
pressure vessels shall apply with regard to condition D3.
Designed, manufctured, installed and inspected according to Condition D3-6 and D9-13
If a malfunction will not cause emission of radioactiv substances the AFS 2016:1 and AFS 2016:2 shall apply
