Configuration Management

NOTE: One or more of the team members may gather this data;

however, care should be taken to insure some degree of

independence (i.e., at least one member should be designated as

the "first" party and a second member designated as the "second"

party (independent) verifier for each component).

During the walkdowns, check the accuracy of the P&IDs to ensure

that the functional relationships are correctly represented and that

all components are accurately depicted. Annotate the drawings, as

appropriate, to show the as-found configuration and retain the

original for review and processing.

Perform the second party verification of the component nameplate

data and P&ID. Both the first party and the second party verifier

will sign the completed CCD sheet and P&ID, as appropriate.

NOTE: The objective of the second party verification is to ensure,

by direct observation that the correct data is obtained. For

example, if a valve is located overhead and access to the

component nameplate is by ladder, both team members will climb

the ladder to verify the information. Only one person going up and

calling down to the other is not considered a second party,

independent verification and is therefore unacceptable for the

purposes of this step.

During the walkdowns, general facility material and housekeeping

conditions should also be observed and any irregularities or

unusual conditions should be reported in the comments/remarks

section of the CCD. Examples of what to look for are as follows:

Obvious physical damage to equipment

Missing or illegible tags

Loose, bent, or missing supports and/or anchors

Valve packing glands "bottomed out" or unsymmetrical

Leaks e.g., water, oil, steam, etc.

Missing, bent, or broken valve handwheels

Missing or loose cover plates

Gagged relief valves

Unterminated cables showing bare wire

Missing fuses

Unauthorized temporary modifications

Debris

If the documentation becomes contaminated, the information can

be transferred to non-contaminated documents and verified
