Preface
This preface, as well as all footnotes and annexes, is included for information purposes and is not part of
ANSI/ISA-88.00.02-2001.
The standards referenced within this document may contain provisions that, through reference in this text,
constitute requirements of this document. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All
standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this document are encouraged to
investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards indicated within this
document. Members of IEC and ISO maintain registers of currently valid International Standards. ANSI
maintain registers of currently valid U.S. National Standards.
This document has been prepared as part of the service of ISA–The Instrumentation, Systems, and
Automation Society, toward a goal of uniformity in the field of instrumentation. To be of real value, this
document should not be static, but should be subject to periodic review. Toward this end, the Society
welcomes all comments and criticisms and asks that they be addressed to the Secretary, Standards and
Practices Board; ISA; 67 Alexander Drive; P. O. Box 12277; Research Triangle Park, NC 27709;
Telephone (919) 549-8411; Fax (919) 549-8288; E-mail: standards@isa.org.
The ISA Standards and Practices Department is aware of the growing need for attention to the metric
system of units in general, and the International System of Units (SI) in particular, in the preparation of
instrumentation standards. The Department is further aware of the benefits to USA users of ISA standards
of incorporating suitable references to the SI (and the metric system) in their business and professional
dealings with other countries. Toward this end, this Department will endeavor to introduce SI-acceptable
metric units in all new and revised standards, recommended practices, and technical reports to the
greatest extent possible.
Standard for Use of the International System of Units (SI): The Modern Metric
System
, published by the American Society for Testing & Materials as IEEE/ASTM SI 10-97, and future
revisions, will be the reference guide for definitions, symbols, abbreviations, and conversion factors.
It is the policy of ISA to encourage and welcome the participation of all concerned individuals and interests
in the development of ISA standards, recommended practices, and technical reports. Participation in the
ISA standards-making process by an individual in no way constitutes endorsement by the employer of that
individual, of ISA, or of any of the standards, recommended practices, and technical reports that ISA
develops.
CAUTION — ISA ADHERES TO THE POLICY OF THE AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS
INSTITUTE WITH REGARD TO PATENTS. IF ISA IS INFORMED OF AN EXISTING PATENT THAT IS
REQUIRED FOR USE OF THE STANDARD, IT WILL REQUIRE THE OWNER OF THE PATENT TO
EITHER GRANT A ROYALTY-FREE LICENSE FOR USE OF THE PATENT BY USERS COMPLYING
WITH THE STANDARD OR A LICENSE ON REASONABLE TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT ARE
FREE FROM UNFAIR DISCRIMINATION.
EVEN IF ISA IS UNAWARE OF ANY PATENT COVERING THIS STANDARD, THE USER IS
CAUTIONED THAT IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STANDARD MAY REQUIRE USE OF TECHNIQUES,
PROCESSES, OR MATERIALS COVERED BY PATENT RIGHTS. ISA TAKES NO POSITION ON THE
EXISTENCE OR VALIDITY OF ANY PATENT RIGHTS THAT MAY BE INVOLVED IN IMPLEMENTING
THE STANDARD. ISA IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR IDENTIFYING ALL PATENTS THAT MAY
REQUIRE A LICENSE BEFORE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STANDARD OR FOR INVESTIGATING
THE VALIDITY OR SCOPE OF ANY PATENTS BROUGHT TO ITS ATTENTION. THE USER SHOULD
CAREFULLY INVESTIGATE RELEVANT PATENTS BEFORE USING THE STANDARD FOR THE
USER’S INTENDED APPLICATION.
ANSI/ISA–88.00.02–2001 — 4 —
HOWEVER, ISA ASKS THAT ANYONE REVIEWING THIS STANDARD WHO IS AWARE OF ANY
PATENTS THAT MAY IMPACT IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STANDARD NOTIFY THE ISA
STANDARDS AND PRACTICES DEPARTMENT OF THE PATENT AND ITS OWNER.
ADDITIONALLY, THE USE OF THIS STANDARD MAY INVOLVE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS,
OPERATIONS OR EQUIPMENT. THE STANDARD CANNOT ANTICIPATE ALL POSSIBLE
APPLICATIONS OR ADDRESS ALL POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH USE IN
HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. THE USER OF THIS STANDARD MUST EXERCISE SOUND
PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT CONCERNING ITS USE AND APPLICABILITY UNDER THE USER’S
PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES. THE USER MUST ALSO CONSIDER THE APPLICABILITY OF ANY
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATORY LIMITATIONS AND ESTABLISHED SAFETY AND HEALTH
PRACTICES BEFORE IMPLEMENTING THIS STANDARD.
This standard is structured to follow IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) guidelines.
Therefore, the first three clauses discuss the
Scope
of the standard,
Normative References
, and
Definitions
, in that order.
Clause 4 is entitled
Data Model
. The intent of this clause is to describe a data structure for batch control
systems using an object model approach.
Clause 5 is entitled
Relational Tables for Information Exchange
. The intent of this clause is to discuss a
data format that can be used to share recipes and other batch information across different systems.
Clause 6 is entitled
Procedure Function Charts
. The intent of this clause is to describe a symbolic
language for recipe depiction.
This standard is intended for people who are
a) involved in designing and/or operating batch manufacturing plants;
b) responsible for specifying controls and the associated application programs for batch manufacturing
plants; or
c) involved in the design and marketing of products in the area of batch control.
