GUIDE TO GOOD PRACTICES FOR

EQUIPMENT AND PIPING LABELING

1. INTRODUCTION

This Guide to Good Practices is written to enhance understanding of, and provide direction

for, "Equipment and Piping Labeling," Chapter XVIII of Department of Energy (DOE)

Order 5480.19, Conduct of Operations Requirements for DOE Facilities. The practices in

this guide should be considered when planning or reviewing labeling programs. Contractors

are advised to adopt procedures that meet the intent of DOE Order 5480.19.

"Equipment and Piping Labeling" is an element of an effective Conduct of Operations

program. The complexity and array of activities performed in DOE facilities dictate the

necessity for a coordinated labeling program to promote safe and efficient operations.
