Is Hydrotest covered by the QA program?

I am in the process of penning our internal software validation document for AutoPIPE 12.08.02.040 using the Bentley ATS document D/N# QA25API-12.8.2. Can you explain the statement in line 4.a. (page 349)? The document section is specifying AutoPIPE analyses that are "Nuclear Safety Related," and therefore are validated with by the acceptance test set. However, line 4.a. says, "Static Analysis with exception of Hydrotest," which seems odd. Am I correct in assuming the Allowables calculated for the hydrotest condition are per the Code? It is a convenient feature and we would like to use it in our piping analyses, but the 4.a. statement effectively takes it off the table!
