OST 108.004.10-86 PDF

Full title and description

OST 108.004.10-86 — "Program of quality control for products of the nuclear power industry" (Программа контроля качества изделий атомной энергетики). The standard defines unified principles and required content for developing a Quality Control Program applied to design, manufacture, assembly and acceptance of equipment, assemblies, parts and pipelines for nuclear power installations and other nuclear facilities.

Abstract

This industry standard sets common methodologies for control operations (tests and measurements), specifies the scope (volumes) of required control, establishes requirements for acceptable test results and prescribes the rules for recording and registering results of control operations. It is intended to ensure consistent quality assurance practices across manufacturers, suppliers and organisations involved in nuclear-power equipment production.

Scope

The standard applies to items, assemblies and parts of equipment and pipelines for atomic (nuclear) power installations that fall under the "Rules for design and safe operation of equipment and pipelines of nuclear power installations" (PNAE G-7-008-89). Provisions (or selected clauses) may be extended by agreement to other equipment and pipelines used in nuclear facilities. The document covers requirements for development of the textual and tabular parts of a Quality Control Program, the sequence and content of control operations, required references to normative methods and the need to record control results.

Key topics and requirements

• Structure and content requirements for a Program of Quality Control (textual part and control tables).
• Definition of control operations, required methods (tests, measurements), and the specified volume (extent) of each control operation.
• Criteria and requirements for acceptance / test results and rules for registration/documentation of control outcomes.
• Mandatory referencing of normative documents (GOSTs, PNAE, approved methods); use of accredited or agreed test methods where no normative method exists.
• Specific control operations examples: chemical composition analysis, mechanical testing, non‑destructive examinations (radiographic, eddy‑current, ultrasonic), weld and cladding controls, heat treatment checks and corrosion protection measures (numerous operation entries and tables are provided in the standard).

Typical use and users

Primary users include manufacturers and fabricators of nuclear‑industry equipment and components, quality assurance and QC engineers, design organisations, inspection and testing laboratories, and regulatory bodies overseeing nuclear equipment safety and acceptance (examples of recipients/distribution include Rostekhnadzor and leading design and manufacturing organisations in the sector). The standard is used to prepare supplier QC programs, to structure incoming inspection and acceptance procedures, and as a reference when compiling quality-control tables tied to specific assemblies or items.

Related standards

The standard contains normative references to many sector and state standards and regulatory documents used in the nuclear and metallurgical fields — for example, ESKD/GOST rules for design documentation (GOST 2.102, GOST 2.104, GOST 2.105, GOST 2.301, GOST 2.601), corrosion and coatings standards (GOST 9.014, GOST 9.028, GOST 9.301), and numerous test and material standards cited in its appendices; it is also applied in the context of PNAE regulatory rules for nuclear installations.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: OST 108.004.10-86 is an industry standard titled "Program of quality control for products of the nuclear power industry" that prescribes how to prepare and apply a Quality Control Program for manufacture, assembly and acceptance of nuclear‑industry equipment and pipelines.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the required structure and content of the QC program (text and control tables), the list and description of control operations, the methods and volumes of testing and measurement, the acceptance criteria for results, and rules for recording and registering results; the standard also lists normative references for specific control methods.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers and suppliers of equipment for nuclear power plants, QA/QC engineers and inspectors, design organisations and accredited testing laboratories, and regulatory authorities responsible for oversight of nuclear equipment quality and safety.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The original OST was approved in 1986; the text has been edited and maintained with several amendments and editorial notices. The edited edition with removed time restriction came into effect 1 January 2007; subsequent amendments (including ones recorded up to 2019) have been published. Users should verify the exact edition and amendment set required for their work (commercial databases and publisher notices list the current editorial status).

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: OST 108.004.10-86 belongs to the OST (industry‑standard) family used in the nuclear/energy sector and is linked by references and application to other OST/GOST and PNAE regulatory documents governing design, testing and safe operation of nuclear‑industry equipment.
