ATTACHMENT 2: PURPOSE CODE DEFINITIONS
Code
Description
[A]
Assigned to paragraphs that require approval from the Companys Engineer before the work
may proceed or the design is finalized.
[C]
Assigned to paragraphs containing specifications whose primary purpose is reduced costs.

Reduced cost in this context refers to initial investment cost and does not include Life-Cycle
cost considerations. Life-Cycle cost considerations are captured under reliability,
maintainability, or operability purpose codes.
[E]
Assigned to paragraphs containing specifications whose primary purpose is driven by

environmental considerations. Environmental considerations typically include specifications
intended to protect against emissions/leakage to the air, water, and/or soil. Deviations from the
specifications contained in such paragraphs require formal review and approval according to
local environmental policy.
[I]
Assigned to paragraphs that provide only clarifying information such as Scope statements,
definitions of terms, etc.
[M]
Assigned to paragraphs containing specifications whose primary purpose is to provide for

maintainability of equipment or systems. Maintainability provisions are those that facilitate the
performance of maintenance on equipment/systems either during downtimes or during onstream operations.
[O]
Assigned to paragraphs containing specifications whose primary purpose is to assure

operability of equipment or systems. Operability is the ability of the equipment/system to
perform satisfactorily even though conditions are off-design, such as during start-ups, process
swings, subcomponent malfunction, etc.
[R]
Assigned to paragraphs containing specifications whose primary purpose is to improve or

assure the reliability of equipment or systems. Reliability is a measure of the ability of
equipment/systems to operate without malfunction or failure between planned maintenance
interventions.
[S]
Assigned to paragraphs containing specifications whose primary purpose is avoidance of

personnel or operational safety incidents. Any deviation from the specifications contained in
such designated paragraphs requires formal review and approval according to local safety
policy.
Personnel Safety:
Refers to the avoidance of recordable personnel injuriese.g., burns,

cuts, abrasions, inhalation, or exposure to dangerous substances, etc.,
that could result in medical treatment, restricted work, lost-time incidents,
or fatalities.
Operational
Safety:
Refers to the prevention and control of process releases, fires,

explosions, etc.
