The Design Bases Rule Set ultimately determines which
requirements must be managed within the Configuration
Management System. Each Design Bases Rule is crafted to
include and exclude specific requirements within the
Configuration Management System. Since Design Bases Rules
determine what design requirements must be managed within the
Configuration Management System, they determine the scope of
the managed information, and consequently the cost of
back-fitting the Configuration Management System to legacy
plants.
Each requirement included in the Configuration Management
System must reference an associated Design Bases Rule to
justify its inclusion.
