本文件为计算机化操作程序系统（COPS）的应用提供指导。本指南涉及COP的设计（即形式和功能）和使用。一般来说，本指南不提供所介绍操作程序的技术内容指南，除非需要解决COP程序实施的独特方面。可描述为计算机程序但位于控制室之外的软件工具（例如可能用于维护或测试）也不在本文件的范围内。

This document provides guidance for the application of computerized operating procedure systems (COPS). This guidance concerns the design (i.e., form and function) and use of COPS. In general, this guide does not provide guidance for the technical content of the operating procedures being presented except as needed to address unique aspects of procedure implementation on COPS. Software tools that can be described as computerized procedures but reside outside the control room (such as might be used for maintenance or testing) are also beyond the scope of this document.
