5.0 PURPOSE
The safety of the process is greatly increased by having information about the equipment
and identification of system components available for training of personnel and for the
operation of the system. Accurate and up to date Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams
provide a part of this information.
5.1 SCOPE
The P&IDs are to be developed for the documentation of the facility’s equipment, flow
pressure, state and control. The P&IDs shall help document and shall identify all the
aspects of the equipment, piping, valves, and controls. The Process Safety Information
and the development of P&IDs shall be complete before any Process Hazard Analysis is
performed or a process is charged or brought online.
Involved employee’s participation in the initial verification and review of the P&IDs is
recommended.
Where any changes occur in the P&ID drawing set as a result of the review, the SOPs for
the equipment and facility shall also be reviewed for accuracy according to the changes in
the P&IDs. Training on the SOPs must be completed prior to operation.
