1.1 Purpose
This document describes requirements for assigning numbers to SLAC Engineering
documents and is intended that this system be compatible with machine
programming systems.
2.1 Applicable Documents
None
3.1 Format
All Engineering documents shall carry a unique identification number consisting
of five groups: (1) a two letter prefix, (2) a three digit number, (3) a
second three digit number, (4) a two digit suffix, and (5) the letter R, C, or E
followed by one or two digits. These five components shall be separated by
dashes.
| EXAMPLE: | PF- | 123- | 456- | 78- | R9 |
| (1) | (2) | (3) | (4) | (5)
|
1. Two Character Prefix: An appropriate Prefix from the Approved Prefix List (below) indicating the type of drawing.
2. First 3-digit number: This is the first part of the hyphenated SLAC 6-digit
base number system and shall signify the originating division department,
group, or individual as determined from blocks of numbers as assigned by SLAC
Document Control.
3. Second 3-digit number: This is the second part of the hyphenated SLAC
6-digit base number system and shall signify a discrete portion of the assigned
work of a division, department, group, or individual as assigned by SLAC
Document Control.
4. Two-digit suffix: This suffix shall be assigned by the originating
division, department, group, or individual to distinguish one assembly,
sub-assembly, or part from another.
5. The Revision character: The purpose of this character is to identify each revision or
change of any part of an engineering document:
- For all manually produced documents:
- R shall be used to indicate Revision e.g., R0.
- For documents produced by the CAD System:
- for IGDS (Microstation) files, C shall be used,
- for EMS (Intergraph EMS) files, E shall be used, e.g., C0 and E0

3.5 Typical Document Numbering Organization - MECHANICAL
3.6 Multiple Sheet Revision Procedure
Revisions to multiple sheet drawings shall be accomplished by completing the
revision block on Sheet 1 to document all changes to any sheet in the multiple
group. All sheets shall carry the same revision number as Sheet 1.
AD - ASSEMBLY DRAWING (TOP ASSEMBLY) - ELECTRONICS
The AD Drawing (Top Assembly) shall always have the suffix 00, i.e.,
AD-123-456-00. The Top Assembly is the highest level of assemblies for a
particular project. The Project should be defined by the engineer or the group
supervisor. The Top Assembly will consist of all SA drawings, PF fabricated
parts, hardware and any purchased items that have not been called out on
another sub-assembly.
AD - ASSEMBLY DRAWING (TOP ASSEMBLY) - MECHANICAL
An AD Drawing for the Mechanical Design Group does not have to end with the suffix -00. The AD drawing is the top-most assembly drawing of an assembly.
EXAMPLES:
- Vacuum Drift Tube
- A magnet
- Any component that can function without further assemblies added to it
AP - ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE
