Plant Labelling | Introduction

Introduction

To achieve clear understanding and sustainable work in energy and chemical plants, a distinct knowledge of plant components, pipes, tanks, containers is necessary. These days, straightforward plant labelling is indispensable.

Compulsory labelling and its implementation – standards and laws Plant labelling is either regulated by international law in its various areas of application, or existing standards apply as directives. In Europe and the USA, safety-relevant labels are required by law – especially at the workplace. In addition to the above mentioned identification Systems for Power Stations (KKS) or its successors – the Reference Designation System for Power Plants and plant labelling system – there are further regulations, standards and laws which are crucial to plant labelling.

In order to create a safe and comprehensive work environment it needs suitable planning, correct choice of the required labelling and professional fastening of the signs – which Stell offers as a complete package. During the planning phase we evaluate the on-site situation and the existing documentation. Should the required documentation, e.g. sign lists or up-to-date P&IDs, not be available we’ll be happy to compile these for you, already taking into consideration the best choice of products and fastening materials. During the next phase, our expert staff independently carries out the labelling in a safe and professional manner for you. All of these tasks are included in the labelling project documentation (also in digital form of your choice) that will be handed out to you upon completion of the project or agreed parts of the project. Thanks to a sophisticated product range, we are able to aid in providing comprehension and efficiency at your location. Whether specific iden- tification Systems for Power Stations (KKS), plant labelling systems or customer coding, our signs permanently and concisely display essen- tial information, facilitate communication and serve as a visual aid for you and your employees in your daily work. In addition, proper plant labelling helps to prevent operator errors or accidents and reduces the operating, maintenance and servicing costs throughout the entire service life.

Generally, plant labelling requires the labelling to be concise and in accordance with the latest technological standards.

Our labelling is designed according to German standard DIN 2403 (see grafic 1) as well as Germany’s Gefahrstoffverordnung (GefStoffV, see grafic 2), or “Ordinance on Hazardous Substances”, and can be adapted to your individual needs. We would be pleased to advise you on your labelling obligations, functi- onal set-ups and our in-house labelling systems.
