VGB-S-821-00-2016-06-EN incl. Amendment as of 2022-12 (German edition available VGB-S-821-00-2016-06-DE)
The basic international standards for reference designation provide users with generally applicable general rules and letter codes for main classes for the designation of technical objects and their documentation.
The standard for power plants establishes sector-specific specifications based on the basic standards, and also includes options to enable application for different power plant types.
The fulfilment of specific designation tasks and addressing of collections of information necessitates coding systems which establish a relationship between the object names and letter codes.
For the designation of power plant systems, table 3 of IEC 81346-2 provides a framework for the designation of "infrastructure objects". This Guideline, VGB-S-821-00-EN, assigns the power-plant-specific systems to letter codes based on this framework.
Remark: The complete RDS-PP® covers the publications VGB-S-821-00-2016-06-EN "RDS-PP Letter Code for Power Plant Systems (System key)" and VGB-B 102 "Reference Designation System for Power Plants, Letter Code for Basic Functions and Product Clases" as well as special technology related VGB-Standards of series VGB-S-823; additionally the VGB-B 108 d/e "Guideline Rules for the creation of denominations and their application for power plant engineering" and VGB-S-891-00-2012-06-DE-EN "VGB abbreviation-catalogue for power plant technology" are recommended.
Remark: The VGB-Standard VGB-S-821-00-2016-06-EN replaces the publication VGB-B 101e. For existing applications the VGB-B 101e is still available.
