Description / Abstract:
This recommended practice provides a single source of component
function identifiers which, along with related recommended
practices concerning unique identification principles and
definitions, implementation instructions, and system descriptions,
makes up a concept, entitled the Energy Industry Identification
System (EIIS), for uniquely identifying systems, structures, and
components of nuclear and fossilfueled power plant projects
(electric power generating stations) and related facilities. Hydro
and other types of power plant projects are not included in this
issue.
Purpose. The purpose of this series of
recommended practices is to present a common language of
communication which will permit a user to correlate a system,
structure, or component with another organization for the purposes
of reporting, comparison, or general communication. It does not
require a using organization to change their own internal
identification concept, but rather they have only to transcode at
the interface of their organization from their internal language to
this common language concept.
The users may, if they so choose, adopt this concept for their
internal use. It represents the accumulated practice of the
industry assimilated into one set of practices. A significant
feature of this concept is that the unique identification code
identifies the function at the component level and not the hardware
itself.
