Summary

Product qualification is intended for determining the adequacy of a product of good quality for a specific application

or a range of applications. A good example is the seismic qualification of a nuclear power plant. This chapter

presents test procedures used in product qualification, with emphasis on seismic qualification. Both single-frequency

testing and multifrequency testing are described. Generation of test signal specifications is outlined.
