This Recommended Practice is intended to summarize identification methods and to suggest the uses of nameplates, labels, and tags. Examples are included for guidance in preparing drawings and specifications. (See Appendix A.) Since materials will determine the tools and techniques used, savings may be realized by using the materials and symbols standardized by the control center manufacturer selected—provided that the materials fully satisfy the application and purpose intended.

Purpose

The purpose of this Recommended Practice is to assist the designer or engineer in choosing and specifying the method of identifying items mounted on a control center or associated with a control center facility.
