electric machinery and equipment.
The plants, object of this specification, which shall be defined in the relevant Data
Sheets, are mainly the followings:
• Electric plant
• Earthing system
• Ventilation and air conditioning plants
• Pressurisation plant

• Fire-fighting system
For all the aspects not covered by this specification, reference is made to the applicable
Normative references and to the project technical documentation, and in particular to:
• Technical Data Sheet (T.D.S)
• Inspection Data Sheet (I.D.S.)
• Requested Documentation Data Sheet (R.D.D.S.),
The technical requirements of this Functional Specification are based on considerations
relevant to performances and efficiency. All the requirements refer therefore to objective
logic and then cannot be discriminatory.
Any proposed alternative shall be evaluated if its operative and performance validity, as
requested by this document, is demonstrated.
The Normative references and the Publications relevant to the whole plants are listed
here below.
As far as applicable, a priority reference shall be given to the EN normative references
and to the CENELEC harmonisation documents or, in their absence, to the CEI,
CEI/UNEL, UNI ones and to the IEC Publications.
The requirements of Laws and Rules issued by the local Authorities or Legal Bodies,
under which jurisdiction the plants shall be installed, shall be always respected.
