KKS Codes
In consideration of the various requirements placed on the identification of plants, sections of plants and
items of equipment in power stations, KKS has three different types of code:
Process-related code
Process-related identification of systems and items of equipment according to their functions in
mechanical, civil, electrical and control and instrumentation engineering
Location code
Identification of locations in structures. on floors and in rooms and also of fire areas and topographical
determinations (surface area grid).
These three types of code use the same identification scheme, which is subdivided into four breakdown
levels and titled as follows:
Breakdown level 0 1 2 3
The individual breakdown levels are made up of classifying and numbering code elements which consist of
data characters occupied by alpha and numeric symbols:
Breakdown level 0 1 2 3
The following extract from the keys contains the most important classifying parts of the function, equipment
unit and component keys used in fossil-fueled power plants.
The numerical data characters of the identifier are normally not classifying and are employed on a plant and
user-specific basis ("Project-specific establishments according to the KKS Guidelines").
