A controlled engineering document defining the rules, conventions and requirements for assigning Tags to engineering objects, assets and systems.
A Tagging Specification is a controlled engineering document that defines the rules, naming conventions, numbering schemes and identification requirements governing the assignment of Tags to equipment, instruments, pipelines, electrical assets, structures, documents and other engineering objects throughout a project or facility. It ensures that engineering identifiers remain unique, consistent and suitable for lifecycle information management.
Tagging Specifications establish the rules governing the consistent identification of engineering objects, assets and systems.
Tagging Specifications typically define naming conventions, numbering structures, equipment classifications, reserved identifiers and governance requirements to ensure consistent asset identification across engineering documentation and enterprise systems.
A Tagging Specification defines how Tags are assigned and governed, whereas a Tag is the unique identifier assigned to an individual engineering object or asset.
