1.0 Scope
This standard outlines the procedure for assigning numbers to Project Documents and
Drawings.
This numbering system assigns a unique number to each Document and Drawing.
In an Existing Plant, the assignment of Document and Drawing numbers shall be as per
respective Affiliate Numbering Procedure.
SABIC E&PM approval shall be required for assignment of any number.
2.0 Document Numbering System Format
2.1 Tag Related Documents:

Unit Number: This is two (2) digit numbers, the assignment of numbers shall be as
follows:
a) New Plants: EPC contractor shall assign unit numbers to the specific plant. This
numbers shall be from 00 to 99.
b) New Area in Existing Plants: SABIC E&PM will assign the Unit numbers for grass
root area in existing plant upon request from EPC contractor.
When a document covers more than one unit, use unit number for overall plant or offsite
and utilities, as appropriate.
Discipline Identifier: This is single character alpha code. For list of Discipline Identifier,
refer to Table-I
Tag Number: This is a code with Maximum of Fourteen (14) alpha numerical characters
without the dashes.
All Tag related documents to be associated with equipment/ instrument tag.
Document Type Code: This is three (3) character alpha codes. For document Type
Codes, refer to Table-II.
Example: 20-R-20FV1234A-DS
2.2 Non Tag Related Documents:

Unit Number:
This is a two (2) digit numbers. The assignment of numbers shall be as follows.
a) New Plants: EPC Contractor shall assign Unit Numbers to the specific plant. This
number shall be from 00 to 99.
b) New Area in Existing Plants: SABIC E&PM will assign the unit numbers for grass
root area in existing plant upon request from EPC Contractor.
When a document covers more than one unit, use unit number for overall plant or
offsite and utilities, as appropriate.
Discipline Identifier:
This is single character alpha code. For list of Discipline Identifier, refer to Table-I.
Sequence Number:
The sequence number shall be unique for each document. The sequence number
shall start from 0001 and progress sequentially as more documents of the same
type are identified. A sequential number shall not be duplicated within the same
document type, for a given discipline. The use of sheet numbers shall be kept to a
minimum.
Document Type Code: This is a three (3) character alpha codes. For Document
Type Codes, refer to Table-II.
Example: 20-R-1234-CA
3.0 Drawing Numbering System Format
3.1 Drawings Except Isometrics

Unit Number:
This is two (2) digit numbers. The assignments of numbers shall be as follows.
a) New Plants: EPC Contractor shall assign Unit Numbers to the specific plant. This
number shall be from 00 to 99.
b) New Area in Existing Plants: SABIC & EPM will assign the unit numbers for grass
root area in existing plant upon request from EPC contractor.
Discipline Identifier: This is single character alpha code. For list of Discipline
Identifier, refer to Table – I
Sequence Number: This is a four (4) digit numbers. Block of sequence numbers are
allocated for each discipline for different type of drawings, refer to Table – III
Example: 20-R-1000
3.2 Isometrics

Unit Number: This is a two (2) digit numbers. The assignment of numbers shall be as
follows.
a) New Plants: EPC Contractor shall assign Unit Numbers to the Specific plant. This
number shall be from 00 to 99.
b) New Area in Existing Plants: SABIC E&PM will assign the Unit numbers for
Grass root area in existing plant upon request from EPC contractor.
Discipline Identifier: This is single character alpha code. Use P for piping.
Sequence Number: This is a four (4) digit numbers and shall start with 1000 to 4999.
Refer to Table -III
Service: This is a three (3) character alpha code refer to Table-1 “LINE SERVICE
CODE” of D03-D04.
Example: 20-P-1000-IA
