BS EN 62708 defines specific documents and their basic content required for electrical and instrumentation projects in the process industry.
BS EN 62708 specifies the document kind name and the mandatory content of the document kind.
Documents used in the phases of a project from the concept phase to the mechanical completion are covered (see IEC 62337).
Documents for project management and quality assurance are included.
Note: Documents for commercial project administration are excluded.
Who is BS EN 62708 - Document kinds for electrical and instrumentation projects for?
BS EN 62708 on document kinds for electrical and instrumentation in the process industry is useful for:
- Project managers
- Production/ operations managers
- Quality assurance personnel
- Process engineers
Why should you use BS EN 62708 - Document kinds for electrical and instrumentation projects?
The engineering in the process industry is driven by international cooperation. Due to economic reasons, special know-how, special licence, authorization or simply capacity utilisation the work is split between partners. They will arrange their cooperation for each individual project differently. This requires a well-defined split of work and responsibilities. Documents are the basis for these definitions since they are the result of any engineering work.
BS EN 62708 takes the most commonly used name from synonymous names as the document kind name, and makes the other alternatives obsolete.
BS EN 62708 helps you to avoid misunderstandings and erroneous elaboration of documents in order to reduce additional corrective works and expenses for clarification between partners.
BS EN 62708 provides the convenience of document handling by using the IEC 61355 database. BS EN 62708 also provides document kind names, document kind classification codes specified by IEC 61355, and some templates.
