Since "exclusive" typically implies proprietary or internal documentation (which cannot be shared directly if it is copyrighted or for sale), the best approach is to provide a consolidated technical guide based on the public VGB standards (VGB-B105, VGB-B106, and VGB-B107) that define the system.

Sample Reference for Your Paper (APA)

VGB PowerTech. (2019). KKS – Identification system for power plants (VGB-B-105e). Essen, Germany: VGB PowerTech e.V.

: Identifies functional systems like the steam cycle (L), cooling water (P), or grid distribution (A). Level 2: Equipment Unit

A standard KKS code typically consists of 15 to 17 characters divided into four breakdown levels:

4. Applications

  • Asset Management: Linking maintenance records to tags.
  • P&IDs and Drawings: Consistent labeling across documents.
  • CMMS/EAM Systems: SAP, Maximo integration.
  • Safety & Isolation: Clear identification for lockout/tagout.

Don’t let ambiguous component labels slow down your operations or create safety risks. Master the KKS system today with this practical, no-fluff guide.

  • 001, 002, etc.

2. The Structure of KKS

The KKS code is strictly hierarchical. It is generally divided into three distinct "blocks," separated by dots (though dots are often omitted in digital databases).
