Full title and description

RD 03-36-2002 — "Delivery specifications for imported equipment, items, materials and accessories for nuclear facilities, radiation sources and storage areas in the Russian Federation" (Russian: "Условия поставки импортного оборудования, изделий и комплектующих для ядерных установок, радиационных источников и пунктов хранения Российской Федерации"). This regulatory document sets delivery, documentation and conformity requirements for imported products intended for use at nuclear and radiological facilities in the Russian Federation.

Abstract

RD 03-36-2002 establishes technical and administrative delivery requirements for imported equipment and components intended for nuclear installations, radiation sources and storage facilities in Russia. The document covers required delivery documentation, marking and traceability, quality assurance and acceptance-testing provisions, packaging and transport conditions, and procedures for inspection and handover to the operator. The standard was approved in 2002 and later exempted from application in favor of newer guidance.

Scope

This document applied to imported equipment, products, components, materials and accessories intended for installation, use or storage at nuclear facilities, radiation sources and storage points inside the Russian Federation. It defined what must accompany deliveries (technical documentation, certificates, test reports), minimum requirements for packaging and transport, marking and traceability, acceptance inspection and tests, and the roles/responsibilities of suppliers and recipients. The RD was intended to ensure safe, verifiable and auditable transfer of items that affect nuclear or radiological safety.

Key topics and requirements

• Delivery documentation and certificates (technical data, conformity and test records).
• Quality assurance and supplier responsibility for conformity to technical specifications.
• Product marking, identification and traceability for safety-critical items.
• Packaging, transport and handling requirements to preserve item integrity and radiation safety where applicable.
• Acceptance inspection, testing and commissioning handover procedures.
• Requirements for special items such as radiation sources and storage equipment (radiation control, sealing and packaging).
• Interactions with national control and licensing procedures for imported nuclear-related items (administrative control and recordkeeping).

Typical use and users

Primary users were procurement and quality/assurance teams at nuclear power plants, research reactors, waste storage and radiological facilities; suppliers and exporters delivering equipment to Russian nuclear customers; customs and regulatory inspectors; testing and certification laboratories; and project/commissioning engineers responsible for receiving and placing equipment into service.

Related standards

RD 03-36-2002 was part of the body of Russian regulatory documents and guidance for nuclear and radiation safety. It was formally recognized as exempt from application on April 28, 2018, at which time related guidance and safety recommendations (for example RB-148-18 and other RB/NP-type documents and Rostechnadzor rules) were enacted or updated to address administrative control and accounting of nuclear materials and related delivery/conformity topics. Users typically cross-reference current RB and NP series documents and Rostechnadzor orders for up‑to‑date requirements.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: RD 03-36-2002 is a Russian regulatory delivery specification issued in 2002 that set requirements for the supply (delivery) of imported equipment, products and components intended for nuclear installations, radiation sources and storage facilities in the Russian Federation.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers documentation and certification required with deliveries, quality assurance obligations of suppliers, marking and traceability, packaging and transport conditions, acceptance inspection and testing, and administrative provisions needed to ensure safe transfer and accounting of nuclear‑relevant items.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Procurement, QA/quality control and engineering staff at nuclear operators; suppliers/exporters of nuclear-related equipment; conformity assessment and testing labs; customs and regulatory authorities involved in import control; and project managers responsible for receipt and commissioning.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: RD 03-36-2002 was recognized as exempt from application by orders dated April 28, 2018 (Orders No. 193 and No. 194), and related safety guidance (for example RB‑148‑18 and other RB/NP documents) was enacted. Therefore RD 03-36-2002 is effectively repealed/superseded for current regulatory practice and should not be used as the sole source of requirements for new procurement; users must consult the current Rostechnadzor/Russian safety rules and RB/NP documents.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — RD 03-36-2002 belongs to the class of Russian regulatory documents (RD) and sits alongside other RD/RB/NP documents and Rostechnadzor orders that together form the regulatory framework for nuclear and radiation safety in the Russian Federation. Related RB-series safety guides (for example RB‑148‑18) and NP-series federal rules are commonly cross-referenced.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Delivery specification; imported equipment; nuclear installations; radiation sources; packaging; acceptance testing; supplier documentation; traceability; quality assurance; RD 03-36-2002; RB-148-18.
