SECTION 23 05 53 Page 2

MINIMUM TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION FOR STRUCTURES, SYSTEMS, EQUIPMENT, & COMPONENTS:

IDENTIFICATION, LABELING, AND MARKING

1. PURPOSE

This DISA (Defense Information Systems Agency, Facilities Engineering Denver) standard establishes guidance for identifying, marking and labeling structures, systems, equipment, and components (SSEC).

2. SCOPE

This standard contains instruction for uniform identification, labeling, and marking of SSEC at DISA locations.

Applications include:

• Identifying, labeling, and marking new SSEC when installed

• Uniform identification of SSEC across DISA datacenters

3. DEFINITIONS

‘Shall’ identifies mandatory elements and requirements.

‘Should’ identifies a recommendation that is based on standard industry practice and good business policy.

‘May’ identifies when permission is granted rather than constituted as a requirement.

4. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

All SSEC shall be labeled in accordance with this standard before being designated operable or in service.

Labeling in areas where hazards exist (i.e., high structures and confined spaces) shall be evaluated against safety requirements. For example, to reduce personnel risk, some SSEC could be labeled as site conditions permit (e.g., shutdown), or when scheduled maintenance is performed.

4.1. Labeling

Labels shall be permanently attached and designed to withstand wear, moisture, erosion and corrosion.

Additionally, labels shall be heat resistant in high temperature areas, corrosion resistant in acidic or caustic areas, and both UV and corrosion resistant in outdoor areas.

Position labels so they are readily visible and oriented in a horizontal position on a flat surface, where feasible.

Labels shall be legible without manipulation by site personnel. Large SSEC shall be labeled in multiple locations, in close proximity to where workers perform their tasks.

Installed labels or tags shall not interfere or alter existing manufacturer’s nameplate or code information.

Labels shall be mounted to preclude accidental removal and located to eliminate any possible confusion as to the item being identified and shall not obscure other items nearby.

Label size shall be based on available lighting and anticipated reading distances. SSEC which require local operation during blackout or reduced visibility conditions shall be marked with reflective or glow-in-the-dark tape.

Labels shall not interfere with an operator’s ability to read an instrument, display, or gauge.

4.1.1. Materials

Plastic Labels: Flexible engraving stock (aka Lamicoid or Phenolic) with at least a two-color plastic material to obtain the required color coding combination is the preferred material for permanent systems, equipment, and components (SECs) labels. Characteristics of flexible engraving stock include abrasion, heat, wear, and chemical resistance.

Metal Labels: Metal tags are acceptable for permanent equipment SEC labels. Paints or powder coatings used on these tags shall be environmentally stable, chemically resistant, and wear resistant.

SECTION 23 05 53 Page 3

Identification Tape: Commercially available tape products may be used for labeling of common SEC where detailed unique identifiers (UIDs) and other information is not necessary; for example, labels on insulated piping indicating contents and direction of flow.

Machine-Printed Identification Tags: On SEC subject to frequent modification or replacement (for example, power whips from a power distribution unit (PDU) to an IT equipment rack or the plug in unit for an overhead track bus (OTB)), machine-printed labels are acceptable. These typically print on a flexible form of machine-generated plastic-coated material, which shall be secured to the SEC in such a manner as to protect the labeling information from degradation. Machine-printed identification information shall be indelible, environmentally stable, and chemically resistant.

Unapproved Materials: Materials which can be lost, damaged, rendered unreadable, easily removed, soiled or degraded by operating environment, or which are of a non-permanent nature shall not be used for labeling or identification purposes. This includes (but is not limited to) paper, paper in clear plastic protectors, and direct labeling of SEC with markers. Paint may only be used where specifically identified in this standard, and must be applied using a stencil which meets the font requirements.

4.1.2. Attachment

Adhesives: Adhesives may be used to secure labels or tags to SECs. Adhesives shall securely fasten the label to the SEC without causing degradation to the SEC or the label. The adhesive shall be chemically compatible with the label material, the component material, and the environment. Adhesives shall not be used on stainless steel piping or components.

Wire: Bare wire may be used for attaching labels to SECs where use of adhesives is not practical and there is no risk of the bare wire becoming electrically energized (e.g., valve tags).

Cable Ties: Standard 50 lb cable ties (a.k.a. zip ties, nylon ties, plastic ties, tie wraps) may be used for attaching labels to SECs where use of adhesives is not practical (e.g., valve tags).

Chain: Zinc plated general utility chain may be used for attaching labels to SECs. The type of chain shall be single-jack chain of trade size 20 or 18.

Screws or Rivets: Screws or rivets may be used to secure labels to SECs as long as the attachment does not cause degradation to the SEC or label. Screws shall be metal type, with size, length, diameter, head, pitch, and axis not prescribed, but sufficient to adequately adhere labels. Rivets shall be steel, with type and dimensions not prescribed, but sufficient to adequately adhere labels.

4.1.3. Character Design and Size

Labels shall be formed with upper and lower case letters using simple letter styles. A bold sans serif font, minimum font size 24, is standard for SEC labeling purposes. The maximum standing viewing distance for minimum font sizes is 60 inches (from label to the eye of the standing individual). With this font size, a 3 x 5 inch label is recommended.

Labels not visible from this distance shall use bold sans serif font 28. With this font size, a 4 x 6 inch label is recommended.

Handwritten labels are not permitted.

Figure 8 – Compliant Label

• Background and text color in accordance with Table 2. If the SEC has dual power sources internal to the SEC, then the dual power color is used.

• Line 1: UID Number, in accordance with paragraph 6.1.

• Line 2: Varies by SEC type. For most SEC, this line captures the capacity of the SEC and is a required field.

For valves, it captures the normal valve position and is required.

• Line 3: Parent electrical SEC. On the label, it is reflected with the Parent UID Number(s) immediately followed by the circuit or breaker when the circuit or breaker does not have a unique UID.

• Line 4: “Common” or “Legacy” name (optional), and has quotes around the name. For valves, this may be used to identify the valve type.

• Line 5: BAS Device name (required when applicable). If an SEC has a BAS Device name, which is not the same as the UID, then it is a required field. If a valve is located in a zone, list the zone for the BAS device name. If an SEC does not have a BAS Device name, valve zone, or the BAS Device name matches the UID, then the field is left blank.

Figures 8, 9, and 10 show examples of compliant labels.

7.1.1. Valves & Dampers

Facility valves and dampers shall be labeled separately from the associated SEC, unless part of an assembly.

Stainless steel tagging wire shall be placed in such a manner so as not to damage the valve stem or impede operation of the valve. Label plates and connecting wire shall not be threaded through the valve hand wheels, operating chains, or damper linkage.

Chain-operated valves shall be labeled at the valve body. In addition, labels shall be placed on a small piece of plastic pipe or metal ring through which the chain can easily pass, allowing the label to remain at the bottom of the chain loop.

Valves associated with a piece of equipment or component, such as backflow preventers (BFPs), do not require a separate UID; the UID of the BFP encompasses the assembly.

When numbering valves including those without an associated process and instrumentation diagram (P&ID), start numbering at the source and sequentially follow the process flow of that system.

7.2. Mechanical Piping Systems, Equipment, and Components

Mechanical piping SEC and conveyed materials, unless otherwise noted in this standard, shall follow the current version of the Scheme for Identification of Piping Systems (ANSI/ASME A13.1). For the purposes of this standard, piping SEC shall include pipes of any kind and, in addition, fittings, valves, and pipe coverings. Supports, brackets, or other accessories are specifically excluded from applications of this standard. This standard does not apply to pipes buried in the ground.

8. ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, EQUIPMENT, & COMPONENTS

8.1. Labeling

Electrical distribution SEC including, but not limited to, transformers, switchgear, switchboards, UPS modules, generators, motor control centers, distribution panels (both primary & secondary), and bus and switchyard components shall be labeled with plastic labels.

Smaller components such as breakers, switches, IT equipment power circuits (“whips”), and associated receptacle boxes shall be labeled with approved machine-printed tags secured with clear plastic or adhesive tape, cable tags or other approved methods.

Labels installed internal to electrical or electronic components shall not provide a ground or short circuit path or interfere with the operation of components. All electrical equipment which is served by or which contains multiple sources of power shall comply with NFPA 70 standards to identify all disconnecting means. Breakers for remote shutdown equipment that is operated from the local breaker shall have an additional label fabricated from luminescent or reflective tape to aid in identification during blackout or remote shutdown. Emergency Power Off (EPO) buttons for remote emergency shutdown of SEC shall have an additional label fabricated from luminescent or reflective tape to aid in identification during blackout or remote shutdown.

8.2. Typical Electrical Systems, Equipment, and Components

MCCs, power transformation and switching equipment (transformers, SWGR, SWBDs, and other SEC shall be labeled by section and compartment. See Appendix 3 (Labeling Examples) for a visual representation.

All distribution panelboards (DPs) shall have associated panel schedules or circuit directories physically located at each panel. This includes switchboards and large DPs (typically greater than 225A), which shall be physically labeled adjacent to each circuit (See Appendix 4). Individual circuit breakers inside DPs (typically rated less than or equal to 225A) shall be physically numbered adjacent to each breaker, corresponding to the panel schedule (See Appendix 5).
