Next is a questionnaire which only covers the specific requirements of the standard. This breaks down the requirements into their individual components where it is likely that the solutions for each part will be different. It can be used as a basic checklist for verifying that the quality system you have designed addresses all the requirements, or as a means of creating policy or of assessing conformity. 

This analysis forms the basis of a widely used industry consensus standard, American Petroleum Institute, Recommended Practice 14C, Analysis, Design, Installation, and Testing of Basic Surface Systems for Ofi- i orc Production Platforms (RP14C), which contains a procedure tor dcicnniniiig required process safety devices and shutdowns. The procedures ilescribed here can be used to develop checklists for devices not covered by RP14C or to modify the consensus checklists presented in RP14C in areas of the world where RPI4C is not mandated. 

Interestingly, many companies use standard checklists for controlling die development of a project from initial design dirougli plmit shutdown. It serves a form for approval by various staff and management functions before a new or retrofit project can mo e ahead. 

Liston (Ref. 27) provides useful checklists for equipment and building siting and layout for safety purposes, as well as other safety-related criteria for plant design. These checklists address economic considerations and facility geographical location, site selection, layout, and unit plot planning factors. 

For the checklist portion of the analysis, the PrHA team leader obtains or develops an appropriate checklist for the team to use. This list need not be as detailed as those used for a standard checklist analysis. Rather than focusing on a specific list of design or operating features, the checklist used here should focus on general hazardous characteristics of the process. 

The design of the checklist depends on the intent. A checklist intended for use during the initial design of the process will be considerably different from a checklist used for a process change. Some companies have checklists for specific pieces of equipment, such as a heat exchanger or a distillation column. 

Checklists Checklists are simple means of applying experience to designs or situations to ensure that the features appearing in the list are not overlooked. Checklists tend to be general and may not be appropriate to a specific situation. They may not handle adequately the novel design or unusual process. (HEP, Chaps. 4.2, 6.2, 16, 20). The CCPS Design Solutions for Process Equipment Failures (1997) provides a useful set of checklists for common chemical processing equipment.

This Annual Report Review checklist for Orphan Drugs, INDs, NDAs [both standard and 505(b)2], and ANDAs has been designed in consultation with FDA reviewers, industry consultants, and regulatory professionals to serve as a summary tool indicating the evaluative criteria used by the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) and the Center for Biologies Evaluation... 

Discrepancies in performance may be caused by deviations in physical properties of fluids, flow rates, inlet temperatures, mechanical construction of the equipment, or by problems caused during the installation of the equipment. The troubleshooter should first check to see that compositions, flows, temperatures, and physical properties agree with those specified for design. He should then examine the equipment drawings to determine if the problem could lie in the manner in which the equipment was constructed, or in the manner in which the equipment has been installed. After these basic items have been reviewed, the checklist below outlines some questions that should be raised.
