1. SCOPE

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. GENERAL

2.1 Applicable Documents

None


3. REQUIREMENTS

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

3.2 Approved Prefix List

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.


4. PREFIX DESCRIPTIONS
