1 Scope
This standard establishes the requirements for the preparation of Safety Instruction Sheets for additions
to existing plants, and for new piping or additions to existing piping. The additions can be either in the
form of modifications / tie-ins from existing lines or completely new lines. The requirements of this
standard will cover but not limited to Expansion and DBN facilities of existing plants as well as new units
which are set up as part of existing complex.

destination(to) of the line, corrosion allowance, pipe wall thickness, normal operating conditions,
maximum upset conditions, design temperature and pressure, minimum test pressure and type, painting
and insulation requirements.
Safety Data Sheet. This sheet is used to collect the pertinent date for safe engineering and design of
individual lines added to a plant, lines with a change of service, and piping.
Critical Plant Equipment and piping. Equipment and piping with extra design requirements with the
objective to minimize business interruption.

project facilities. For the purpose of this standard, Design engineering company also covers detailed
engineering contractor of a project facility whose responsibility is limited to detailed engineering alone
with procurement and construction arranged by others.

4 General
4.1 Safety instruction sheets are used to ensure that operating, maintenance and inspection personnel
are made aware of safe operating limits, protective devices and any special safety precautions,
as well as changes, in a consistent format concerning for new and modified piping systems in
industrial plants and pipelines.
