Conceptual design Licensing and permitting etailed design Procurement; Construction and construction management Start-up, testing, and checkout; and Project completion

The purpose of this appendix is to summarize the codes, standard design criteria and practices that will be used during the project. The general plumbing and fire protection design criteria defined herein form the basis of the design for the fire protection components and systems of the project. More specific design information is developed during detailed design to support equipment and erection specifications. It is not the intent of this appendix to present the detailed design information for each component and system, but rather to summarize the codes, standards, and general criteria that will be used. Section 2 of this appendix summarizes the applicable codes and standards, Section 3 of this appendix includes the general design criteria and Section 4 describes about piping and valve design. 2 DESIGN CODES AND STANDARDS The design and specification of all work shall be in accordance with all applicable codes and standards of international code or the local and regional governmental agencies, and generally accepted industry standards organizations.
