Preface to the KKS Application Explanations, issue 2004

With the edition 2004 the layout was adapted on the form used by VGB PowerTech Service
GmbH since the year 2000 and the text of the Application Explanations B 106 was converted to
standardized electronic formats.

The VGB Technical Committee Technical Classification Systems, often specified in the KKS
Application Explanations, became to the Working Panel Reference Designation and Plant
Documentation due to the structural changes of VGB in the last years.

A project team, specially installed by the Working Panel, provided also the "KKS Application
Explanations for Hydro-Power Plants" which was published in the year 2004. These specific
Application Explanations of Hydro-Power, published as B106 D1 supplement the existing
explanations around the special interests of the Hydro-Power plants and create the basis for a
more efficient engineering and project completion in this field of activity.

Correct application of the KKS is the condition that unique identification and rational function in
the desired measure is reached. The Application Explanations are supplements to the KKS
Guidelines and are intended to give assistance in use of the identification system.

Following overview shows the connection between the KKS Definitions and KKS Applications.

1 Structure and Scope

The Application Explanations show the many possible ways of using KKS to fulfil the
various identification requirements of the engineering disciplines. The application
explanations are also structured in keeping with these requirements.
The Application Explanations, which give examples on the use of KKS, contain detailed
descriptions for the various engineering disciplines and are subdivided as follows:
Part A: General KKS application explanations
Part B: Engineering discipline-specific application explanations
Part B1: Identification in mechanical engineering
Part B2: Identification in civil engineering
Part B3: Identification in electrical and control and instrumentation
engineering
Part B4: Identification of control and instrumentation tasks/functions in
process systems and identification of functions in control and
instrumentation systems
Part C: Engineering discipline-specific identification examples

Part A: General KKS application explanations

Part B3

Part B4
Identification of control and instrumentation tasks/functions in
process systems and identification of functions in control and
instrumentation systems

The present Part A comments on applications, which are common to all engineering
disciplines, Parts B1 - B4 on engineering discipline-specific applications.
