It is part of the CSA N288 series of Standards and guidel

48、ines on environmental management of nuclear facilities.The CSA N-series of Standards provides an interlinked set of requirements for the management of nuclear facilities and activities. CSA N286 provides overall direction to develop and implement sound management practices and controls, while the ot

49、her CSA nuclear Standards provide specific technical requirements and guidance that support the management system. This Standard works in harmony with CSA N286 and does not duplicate the generic requirements of CSA N286; however, it may provide more specific direction for those requirements.This Standard addresses the design, implementation, and management of a nuclear air-cleaning system testing program that meets legal and business requirements and incorporates current best practices and technologies used internationally.Users of this Standard are
