IEEE 804-1983

This recommended practice provides a single source of implementation instructions which, along with related recommended practices concerning unique identification principles and definitions, component function identifiers, and system descriptions, makes up a concept for uniquely identifying systems, structures, and components of nuclear and fossil-fueled powerplant projects (electric power generating stations) and related facilities. Hydro and other types of power plants are not included in this issue.

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. A participating organization is not required 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 user 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.

New IEEE Standard - Inactive-Withdrawn. This recommended practice provides a single source of implementation instructions that, when used with related recommended practices concerning unique identification principles and definitions, component function identifiers, and system descriptions, provide a basis 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 plants are not included. The standard is part of a series of recommended practices, entitled the Energy Industry Identification Systems (EIIS), the purpose of which is to present a common language of communication which will permit a user to correlate a system, structure, or component with that of another organization for the purposes of reporting, comparison, or general communication. A significant feature of this concept is that the unique identification code identifies the function at the component level and not the hardware itself.
