Supported standards

The AVEVA Unified Engineering Default Configuration is informed by (but not limited to) the following industry standards:

Evolution of International Organization of Standardization (ISO) 15926 (Part 4)

Parts (4) and (5) of this globally recognized standard prescribes the criteria for the Integration and exchange of plant data throughout the life of the plant and in particular the integration of design data from different design systems and the handover of design data from design contractor to owner/operator.

• Part (4) describes the hierarchal structures and the naming of Classes and Attributes and their parent child relationships.

• Part (5) describes the methods and working practices to maintain Part 4 in a database format.

In total, International Organization of Standardization (ISO) 15926 consists of 13 parts. Part 4 has evolved over a number of years and was driven by the industry need for a consistent method for defining the terms used within facilities for the process industry in a reference data context.

Starting from 1991, a number of professional bodies, which includes the following, have combined, merged, and evolved to become today’s ISO 15926 (Part 4):

• European Strategic Programme for Research in Information Technologies (ESPRIT)

• European Process Industries STEP Technical Liaison Executive (EPISTLE)

• Process Industries STEP Consortium (PISTEP)

• POSC/Caesar (PCA)

• Uitgebreid Samenwerkingsverband Proces Industrrie (USPI)

• Industry Standards, which includes AP 221, ISO 1303, and ISO 15926-2

International Organization of Standardization (ISO) 14224

International Organization of Standardization (ISO) 14224:2006 provides a comprehensive basis for the collection of reliability and maintenance data in a standard format for equipment in all facilities and operations within the petroleum, natural gas, and petrochemical industries during the operational life cycle of equipment.

ISO 14224:2006 describes the terms and definitions that constitute a reliability language that describe failure modes and recommends a minimum amount of data that is required to be collected, and focuses on the two main issues:

• Data requirements for the type of data to be collected for use in various analysis methodologies.

• Standardized data format to facilitate the exchange of reliability and maintenance data between plants, owners, manufacturers, and contractors.

Capital Facilities Information HandOver Specifications (CFIHOS)

Capital Facilities Information Hand Over Specification (CFIHOS) provides a practical implementation of the International Organization of Standardization (ISO) 15926 standard and provides the standards, methods, and a reference data library for owner operators to specify the engineering information they require for future operations and maintenance of the facilities.
