This QRSAW contains all of the same substantive questions and issues as the NERC RSAW used in the United States. QRSAW language is written to specific versions of each Reliability Standard and its Appendix. Entities using this QRSAW should choose the version of the QRSAW applicable to the Reliability Standard being assessed. While the information included in this QRSAW provides some of the methodology that NPCC has elected to use to assess compliance with the requirements of the Reliability Standard, this document should not be treated as a substitute for the Reliability Standard or viewed as additional Reliability Standard requirements. In all cases, the Regional Entity should rely on the language contained in the Reliability Standard itself, and not on the language contained in this QRSAW, to determine compliance with the Reliability Standard. The Reliability Standards can be found on the Régie’s website at http://www.regieenergie.qc.ca/en/audiences/NormesFiabiliteTransportElectricite/NormesFiabilite.html. Additionally, Reliability Standards are updated frequently, and this QRSAW may not necessarily be updated with the same frequency. Therefore, it is imperative that entities treat this QRSAW as a reference document only, and not as a substitute or replacement for the Reliability Standard. It is the responsibility of the registered entity to verify its compliance with the latest version of the Reliability Standards, approved by the applicable governmental authority, relevant to its registration status (http://www.regieenergie.qc.ca/en/audiences/NormesFiabiliteTransportElectricite/RegistreEntites.html). This QRSAW provides a non-exclusive list, for informational purposes only, of examples of the types of evidence a registered entity may produce or may be asked to produce to demonstrate compliance with the Reliability Standard. A registered entity’s evidence submitted as per the examples contained within this QRSAW does not necessarily constitute compliance with the applicable Reliability Standard, and NPCC reserves the right to request additional evidence from the registered entity that is not included in this QRSAW.
