2.3.6-4-4 Ensure adequate assessment is completed of heritage units and qualification-by-similarity units and their test procedures, test reports, and hardware and software changes made since qualification Phase A | Phase B | Phase C | Ensure adequate assessment is completed of heritage/qualification-by-similarity and their test procedures, test reports, and hardware and software changes made since qualification. This includes any unit that will be qualified by similarity as the qualification is resting on an existing test report. This should be completed as an exit criteria to the preliminary design review as the assumption is the unit meets the requirements.
