IEEE 1786-2022

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.
