All rights reserved 5 Section G Form Requirement Action requested Acceptable entries / Guidelines This Section is used, by the Supplier, to request specific changes to Siemens Drawings (or Design Specifications). The format should allow the Siemens Engineer, when a change is approved as submitted, to simply copy and paste the requested Action into drafting instructions. The section should normally identify and request a change “From” (the current definition), then “To” (the proposed definition). If a Drawing has Zones, identify the Zone where the proposed change is located. If a Drawing has multiple Sheets, identify the Sheet that is affected. When requesting a Specification change, identify the Page and Paragraph Number. Example: Siemens Drawing Number LW12345: Change: Sheet 4, Zone D-4 From: 6.2435 - 6.2465” O.D. To: 6.24 - 6.25” O.D.
