The RCC-M code is organized into several sections that cover different stages of component development :

Aligned with European Pressure Equipment Directives (PED) and French ESPN regulations.

Follow this simple workflow:

The RCC-M applies to nearly every safety-critical mechanical component within the "nuclear island" of a PWR plant. This includes the pressure boundaries that contain the reactor's coolant under high pressure and temperature. Here is a breakdown of what falls under the RCC-M's jurisdiction:

If you're looking for a PDF because you need to reference a specific part, you need to know how the document is organized. It is divided into five distinct sections, each dealing with a different phase of mechanical engineering.
