Company standards

Exceptions to the preceding requirements would apply where explosionproof equipment is needed building ceiling heights are such that the standard 3.7-m (12-ft) lift is all that wih ever be needed and loads will never exceed 1 to 1.5 tons. Safety requirements for lift trucks are mandated by OSHA, by NIOSH (National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health), by State Depts. of Labor, and often by individual company standards. Among these requirements are backup-movement signals, seat belts, overhead framework for pro-... 

Introduction Review and audit processes are used in the chemical process industry to evaluate, examine, and verify the design of process equipment, operating procedures, and management systems. These processes assure compliance with company standards and guidelines as well as government regulations. Reviews and audits can encompass the areas of process and personnel safety, environmental and industrial hygiene protection, quality assurance, maintenance procedures, and so on. 

Tank installations below ground in the neighborhood of railway lines are often in aggressive soil that is contaminated with slag. Cathodic protection is therefore particularly important. Because of the particularities of railway operations, company standards must be followed in addition to the generally required direc-... 

In addition to customer requirements there may be industry practices, national standards, company standards, and other sources of input to the design input requirements to be taken into account. You should provide design guides or codes of practice that will... 

The specific PSM systems that are finalized for installation will act as the core of your company s overall system for process safety management. For this reason, it s wise to approach their development in a manner that s consistent with your company s practices, to minimize the need for reconstructing detailed text to conform to company standards. 

A process checklist evaluates equipment, materials and safety procedures. A checklist is composed of a series of questions prepared by an engineer who knows the procedure being evaluated. It compares what is in tlie actual plant to a set of safety and company standards. Some questions tliat may be on a t>pical checklist are ... 

Prepare valve code specifications for incorporation on item 6 above, or select from existing company standards for the fluids and their operating conditions (see Figures 1-25 and 1-26). 

Many quality programs and company standards require the validation of computerized systems. Systems that generate or manipulate data must be validated to fulfill various regulatory requirements. Failure to perform adequate validation may result in a lack of confidence in the data generated and regulatory noncompliance. 

Several industry standards, codes, and company internal standards were used in developing the information in Table 1.2. These include internal company standards NFPA 30, Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code (Ref. 22) NFPA 59A. Liquefied Natural Gas (Ref. 23) API 2510, Design and Construction of Liquefied Petroleum Gas(LPG) Installations (Ref. 24) iRlnformation IM.2.5.2, Plant Layout and Spacing for Oil and Chemical Plants (Ref. 25), and Factory Mutual 7-44, Spacing of Facilities In Outdoor Chemical Plants (Ref. 26). 

The company standards classify this facility as "high explosion potential," requiring control buildings that are located at this distance [125 ft (38 m)] from a potential explosion be designed to a minimum load of 10 psi (0.69 bar) side-on overpressure and 20 ms blast load. It was determined that this... 

The material is stored at ambient temperatures. Spacing meets internal company standards based on radiant heat fluxes. 

It is important to begin producing this additive as soon as possible. This is because die discovery of something new is frequently made by two or more independent investigators at about the same time, and the first producer sets the standards and gets the markets. In 1969 four chemical companies Standard Oil Co. (Indiana), DuPont, Phillips Petroleum, and Montecatini-Edison, were all claiming to be the inventor of polypropylene. At that time, the U.S. Patent Office had still not decided who would get the U.S. patent, even though the work had been done over 10 years before.5 Finally in December 1971 Montecatini-Edison received the patent. 

A machine on a production line produces parts that are not acceptable by company standards four percent of the time. If the machine produces 500 parts, how many will be defective ... 

IRR is the rate of return (interest rate, discount rate) at which the future cash flows (positive plus negative) would equal the initial cash outlay (a negative cash flow). The value of the IRR relative to the company standards for internal rate of return indicates the desirability of an investment ...

The recommended design criteria presented in this chapter are based on generally accepted codes and standards and individual company standards. 

The products offered by the fine-chemical industry fall into two broad categories (1) exclusives and standard or (2) catalog products. Serviceintensive exclusives , provided mostly through contract research or custom manufacturing arrangements, prevail in business with life science companies standards prevail in other target markets. 

There must be literally millions of company standards in existence. Although they have relatively little significance in a national or international sense, they are the basis of many commercial contracts and, hence, are perhaps the most important standards of all. Unfortunately, the quality of commercial standards is very variable. 

The second part of Step 2 is the identification phase. In this phase ideas are collected to intensify the process within the boundaries as defined in Step 1. This phase requires a well-balanced team of participants from various disciplines, e.g., engineers, R D, process technologists, chemical experts. Apart from representative of various disciplines, one should ideally also have participants that know the process well and people completely unfamiliar with the process, to get a wide variety of ideas and suggestions. Lastly, it is beneficial to mix older, experienced members with younger members who may be less biased to company-standard process solutions. 

The quality attributes applicable to all procedural controls are that they are appropriate, clear, and consistent with related procedures, adhere to regulatory, industry, and company standards, and are approved, available, accessible, followed, controlled, and periodically reviewed. The SLC process must be consistent with the applicable computer systems validation procedural controls. 

Preassessment preparation Involves a review of previous FDA and internal audit findings, industry expectations, and company standards. 

In the next series of experiments, a procedure incorporating three low-temperature reactive dyes was attempted on 100% cotton. The procedure was modeled after a participating company s formulation. The flow system detailed in Figure 1 was utilized, and the methods developed for the one-dye system were used to attempt shade match with the company standard. Additional problems that arose with the three-dye system were as follows ...
