Description / Abstract:
This recommended practice provides a single source of unique
identification principles and definitions which, along with related
recommended practices concerning component function identifiers,
implementation instructions, and system descriptions, make up a
concept, entitled the Energy Industry Identification System (EIIS),
for uniquely identifying systems, structures, and components of
nuclear and fossil fueled 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.
