Description:	This publication discusses the key challenges associated with the use of digital COTS devices in nuclear applications. The publication outlines the overall strategy for COTS device justification and identifies its interface with the overall safety justification at the plant level. It also discusses key steps in assessing a digital COTS device and managing changes to the device. Examples of practices in various Member States are available in the annexes. The primary intent of this publication is to provide a starting point for Member States to develop or improve their processes for justifying the use of digital COTS devices. The information provided may be particularly useful to licensees and COTS device assessors when engaging with manufacturers during the justification process.
