RCC-E code describes the rules for designing and building electrical assemblies and I&C systems for pressurised water reactors.

The code was drafted in partnership with industry, engineering firms, manufacturers, building control firms and operators, and represents a collection of best practices in accordance with IAEA requirements.

The code’s scope covers:

• Architecture and the associated systems.
• Materials engineering and the qualification procedure for normal and accidental environmental conditions.
• Facility engineering and management of common cause failures (CCFs) (electrical and I&C) and electromagnetic interference.
• Practices for testing and inspecting electrical characteristics.
• Quality assurance requirements supplementing ISO 9001.
