Compared with GB 5083- 1999, in addition to structural adjustments and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows: -- The term and definition of "production facilities" are changed (see 3.1; see
3.1 of the 1999 edition); -- The requirements for full life cycle safety risks are added (see
4.1 and 4.2); -- The requirements for starting and stopping are added (see 5.6.3, 5.6.5); -- Control system operational risks and switch operation requirements are added (see 5.6.2.1, 5.6.2.9); -- The requirements for installation, hoisting and transportation are changed (see 5.9.1, 5.9.3; see
5.9.2 of the 1999 edition); -- The requirements for fire protection and explosion protection are changed (see 6.4.1, 6.4.2, 6.4.3; see 6.4.1, 6.4.2,
6.4.3 of the 1999 edition); -- The requirements for anti-static and electric shock protection are added (see 6.10.2, 6.10.3); -- The requirements for the equipment manual are changed (see 7.2; see
7.2 of the 1999 edition); -- The relevant contents of environmental protection facilities are added (see 6.7.1, 6.7.2); -- The relevant contents of intelligentizing and remote control are added (see 5.6.2.3, 5.6.2.11, 5.6.2.12, 6.4.5); -- The content of failure mode and failure analysis of production facilities based on risk assessment is added [see
4.7 a)]. Please note that some of the contents of this document may involve patents. The issuing organization of this document does not assume the responsibility for identifying patents. This document is proposed by and under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Emergency Management of the People's Republic of China.
