Notes
1) Security includes physical security, operational security, and cybersecurity.
2) Prerequisite tests typically include both cold and hot commissioning or dry / wet commissioning as applicable.
3) System Environment Requirements can include separate systems for development, testing, training, production, backup, disaster recovery,
digital twins, and other uses, as part of development and Management Of Change (MOC) procedures
