本标准为运行核设施的组织制定和实施构型管理（CM）计划提供了指南。主要关注点是建立构型管理计划的基本要素，并确定相关行业可接受的方法，以满足每个要素的要求。其目的是作为指导性文件，而不是规定性标准。目标是确保核电厂和其他核设施（如适用）的设计要求、物理装置和相关设施信息之间的一致性。

This standard provides guidelines for the development and implementation of Configuration Management (CM) Programs by organizations operating nuclear facilities. The principle focus is on establishing essential elements of a CM Program and identifying associated industry-acceptable approaches for satisfying the requirements for each element. Its purpose is to be a guidance document not a prescriptive standard. The goal is to ensure the consistency between the design requirements, physical installations and related facility information for nuclear power plants and other nuclear facilities as applicable.
