IEC 61355

The standard IEC 61355-1 Classification and designation of documents for plants, systems and equipment describes rules and guidelines for the uniform classification and identification of documents based on their characteristic content of information.

It is applied for all documents within the life cycle of a technical products like plants, systems or equipment. It also includes non-technical documents. The main application is the construction, erection and operation of chemical plants and power plants, where the number of documents may sum up to some 100,000 documents.

Classification code

The standard provides with the document kind classification code (DCC) a structured letter-code for the classification of any kind of document.

The document kind classification code consists of three code-letters A1, A2, A3, with the prefix "&".

  • A1 Letter code for technical area class
  • A2 Letter code for main class
  • A3 Letter code for sub-class

The letter code A1 is optional, if all documents are from the same technical area. The letter codes A2 and A3 are identical for all technical areas.

Technical Areas

The technical areas are:

A1Technical area
AOverall management
BOverall technology
CConstruction engineering
EElectrical engineering, instrumentation and control engineering
MMechanical engineering (normally including process engineering))
PProcess engineering (only if separation from M is required))

Classes

The main classes are:

A2document kind classes, main classes
ADocumentation describing documents
BManagement documents
CContractual and non-technical documents
DGeneral technical information documents
ETechnical requirement and dimensioning documents
FFunction describing documents
LLocation documents
MConnection describing documents
PObject listings
QQuality management documents; safety-describing documents
TGeometry-related documents
WOperation records
