scope:

This recommended practice covers the type, content, and extent of documentation required as record data and information particular to a control center and control center facility. It is written to provide guidelines covering various types of documentation and to promote uniformity of document terminology.

This recommended practice covers the technical documentation associated only with control centers and control center facility design and fabrication. It does not cover documentation requirements for associated procedures such as process design or plant or unit operations, nor does it cover commercial considerations such as purchasing, contracting, and shipping. The wide variety of industries using control centers has made it necessary that this recommended practice be general in its coverage. The reader is cautioned to consult the specific codes, laws, and practices that apply to the actual industrial applications.
