1.0 Introduction

This Standard defines the formal system for unique tag numbering and identification of QP assets in Ras
Laffan and Mesaieed Industrial Cities including, instrumentation ancillary items, structures, cabling,
piping and valves.

2.0 Custodian

The Custodian of this Standard is Head of Data Center (EED) Technical Services Department, who is
responsible for the accuracy and quality of its contents and for its future revisions, where these are
required to reflect industry trends or changes to QP business practices.

3.0 Purpose

The purpose of this Standard is to define a formal system for tag numbering and identification for all
equipment (assets) located in Ras Laffan Industrial City and Mesaieed Industrial City. This includes tag
numbers to be shown in Documents & Drawings, on the physical Tag nameplates, and to be included in
databases and all document/enterprise asset management systems.

4.0 Application

QP and any consultant or contractor responsible for providing design and engineering services shall
apply this Standard. Contractor’s own ‘in-house’ tagging systems shall not be used.

End User's or Contractor's (on-plot, off-plot or common) Equipment/Facilities likely to be transferred to

QP Industrial Cities upon their project completion, shall apply this tag numbering Standard.

It is mandatory for end user industries to apply this Standard outside their respective battery limits utilizing
the area codes as defined on drawing RLGE.0.07.0002 for Ras Laffan Industrial City (See App D) and
drawing MICGE.0.07.0001 for Mesaieed Industrial City (See App E) and the two digit system codes if
applied (See 6.0 d), as defined in Appendix A.

Vendor package shall, where possible, follow the requirements of this Standard. The QP Project Engineer
and/or Consultant shall be responsible for implementing tag numbers to the Vendor P&ID’s in accordance
with this Standard. (See 7.2)

The requirements of this Standard may not include all eventualities specific to a project. In such instances
the QP Project Engineer shall make the preferred proposal(s) in writing to Head of Data Center (EED)
Technical Services Department for review, consideration and amendment as required by completing part
1 of form ES.0.08.0014. Sample of this form is shown in Appendix C. The form is available on Technical
Services Department Website.

5.0 Requests for Tag Numbers

Tag numbers shall be requested using the applicable tag request form (See Section 5.1) The Tag request
forms are available on QP Technical Services website.

5.1 Tag Request / Advice Forms

Examples of the Tag Request/Advice forms (Four types) are shown in Appendix B sheets 1 to 4. The
form to be used is dependent on the tag string structure. Guidance to the correct form is shown in Table
1 below and further defined throughout this Standard.

Any Consultant/Contractor or QP employee may initiate the tag request. All information shall be inputted
into the relevant boxes and only codes in accordance with this Standard shall be used. Each
component/item description (See appropriate Tables in this Standard) shall be quoted as well as the
service it provides.
 ES.0.07.0025

Page 6 of 42

5.1 Tag Request / Advice Forms (Cont.)

Instrument items within the same loop shall be indicated as such.

Requests for large block of numbers shall be justified by attaching the relevant data to Tag Request
Advice Form i.e., P&ID’s, Cable Block Diagrams etc.

The QP Project Manager/Engineer must then approve the form by completing the ‘Approval Section’
before submitting to CEL (for Ras Laffan Industrial City Projects) or CEI (for Mesaieed Industrial City
Projects). This is to ensure that the codes are in accordance with this Standard and to eliminate the
possibility of repeat requests for the same items.

Forms completed in accordance with the above will be authorized by CEL or CEI as appropraite and tags
will be allocated. The form will be returned to the QP Project Manager/Engineer who will record that the
requested tags have been issued. The QP Project Manager/Engineer shall acknowledge receipt by
signing at the bottom of the form and sending one copy back to CEL or CEI as appropraite and one copy
to the original requester.

Tag number block requests shall be made using Standard forms as detailed below. The forms are shown

16.0 Identification of Fire and Gas Detection Systems

16.1 Identification of Fire and Gas Devices Installed in Circuit Chains

Identification of Fire and Gas Devices installed in circuit chains shall be as follows:

110-55-SDO-03-01-01

Area code Device order in circuit

(See Appendix D & E)
Circuit number
System code (See Appendix A)

Device code (See Table 22) Fire Zone number

The fire zone identification shall be a two-digit identifier starting at 01 and rising in increments of 1 for
each fire zone.

The circuit identification shall be a two-digit identifier starting at 01 and rising in increments of 1 for each
separate circuit chain. The first device in the circuit will be suffixed 01, the second 02 etc. The last device
in a line monitoring circuit shall be suffixed with the letters EOL to identify the fitted end-of-line resistor.

Example: 110 - 55 – SDO- 03 – 01- 12- EOL

NOTE: Users of this Standard are not required to request tag numbers for fire and gas devices. Designers
shall identify the location code and fire zone numbers, the tags are then generated by the designer in line
with the above example.

16.2 Identification of Fire and Gas Devices Installed as Individual Circuits

Identification of Fire and Gas Devices installed as individual circuits shall be as follows:

110-55-GDF-03-0003
Area code Sequential number
(See Appendix D & E)
Fire Zone number
System code (See Appendix A)

Device code (Table 22)

The fire zone identification shall be a two-digit identifier starting at 01 and rising in increments of 1 for
each fire zone.

The sequential serial number shall consist of 4 digits, e.g. (0001 - 9999) Serial numbers shall be unique
in each group of devices having the same area code, the same device code, and the same fire zone
number.

If line monitoring is required on a single device, the tag number shall be suffixed with the letters EOL to
identify the fitted end of line resistor. See example in section 16.1
