Technical assessment guides (TAG)
The ONR have established Technical Assessment Guides (TAGs) that primarily provide guidance to ONR inspectors on the interpretation and application of the SAPs and SyAPs.
However, some also contain guidance relevant to principles underlining the enforcement of licence condition compliance, which supplements the Technical
The TAGs also provide information to licensees and dutyholders regarding ONR's expectations of the nature and content of relevant technical elements of safety cases and security plans.
The TAGs provide guidance in particular technical areas, and they are to be used at the discretion of inspectors.
Responsibility for the maintenance of TAGs is shared between ONR's Professional Leads for individual technical areas and the Regulatory and Technical Standards sub programme within ONR's Regulatory Assurance programme

Technical inspection guides (TIG)
The purpose of the technical inspection guides is to facilitate a consistent approach to ONR's site Licence Condition compliance inspection by providing guidance to inspectors on what Licencee's arrangements should include to meet the requirements of the Licence Conditions. Although it is not their primary purpose, the technical inspection guides therefore also provide information for Licencees on ONR's expectations of the nature and content of their own arrangements.
