Drawing Control

DOE-STD-1051-93

5.3.3 D raw ing Control

Only controlled drawings reflecting as-built conditions should be used for

maintenance operations. Drawings should be stamped or otherwise marked to

clearly indicate that the drawing is controlled. Drawing indexes should be readily

available and maintained current to allow quick verification of drawings for use.

Satellite files of controlled drawings should be established as necessary to support

maintenance activities. If satellite files are used, they should be periodically

checked to ensure drawings are maintained up-to-date.

Controls should be established for distribution and updating of drawing files.

Responsibility for maintaining satellite files should be clearly established. If

document control personnel are not responsible for maintenance of satellite files,

some means of positive verification should be used, such as return of outdated

drawings. Drawings that are posted at various locations in the plant should also be

controlled.

Drawings that are not part of the controlled drawing sy stem should be considered

uncontrolled and clearly identified as such. Maintenance procedures should indicate

how controlled and uncontrolled drawings are identified so that personnel can

readily determine the status of drawings. Uncontrolled drawings should not be used

for the performance or planning of maintenance work activities.

5.3.4 V endor Information

The receipt, processing, and distribution of vendor technical information relating

to the sy stems or components installed at the plant should be controlled to the same

level as facility documentation applicable to the same structure, sy stem or

component (SSC). The proper performance of maintenance activities is strongly

dependent upon the availability and use of accurate vendor technical information.
