SFU IDENTIFICATION STANDARD
SFU uses a 7 character alpha-numeric serial number for equipment identification.
The first of set of two characters designate the building or area code (see list on
pages 3 to 5).
The 2nd set of two characters designate the equipment/data type code (see list on
pages 6 to 7).
The 3rd set of three characters is the unit number code for that individual piece of
equipment .
Format:
xx-yy-zzz
xx
= building/area code
yy
= equipment code
zz
= unit number.
Example:
41
01
002
41-01-002
= South Sciences Building
= Fans
= unit number 002

SFU IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
DESCRIPTION FOR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
The electrical equipment identification number is used by the electrical
department follows the standard format used by Facilities Management
(described on page 2). The instructions and examples are the followings:
BUILDING NUMBER
SFU EQUIPMENT CODE NUMBER
UNIT NUMBER
00-00-000
FLOOR
NUMBER
NOTE:
The floor number has been given the floor level number based
on as-built architect drawing floor naming, eg. 6000 level floor
should be 6. This system of using floor numbers makes panel
location easier. Since we are using a single character to indicate
the floor level we must use the hexadecimal numbering system
for floors above the 9000 level floor.

The examples show the labels that SFU will be using in the current or future
renovation or new buildings. These are standards of uniform size and location for
SFU staff to duplicate with SFU in-house label maker.
The type of label will be found in the specifications. SFU however would like the
label size and location to be uniform. SFU uses software “Label View 10 pro” to
make labels.

SFU Mechanical Equipment Form
Fields Descriptions
Equipment #
Equipment Type
Follow SFU Equipment Identification Standard when
numbering equipment.
While naming a piece of equipment write first the
equipment type, second the subtype, and then other
relevant identification information (separated by
commas). For example: “Pump, Heating, Inline
centrifugal, P-3”. For equipment not listed on the
Equipment Type/Subtype list use the “Miscellaneous”
category. Name the equipment accordingly. Do not
name equipment “miscellaneous”
Refer to Equipment Type/Subtype list.
Equipment Subtype
Refer to Equipment Type/Subtype list.
Manufacturer
Manufacturer or Make of the equipment. For example:
“Armstrong” or “American Standard”
Equipment manufacturer’s equipment model number
Equipment manufacturer’s equipment serial number.
Building code + room number. For Example: ASB-884.
“Mechanical Room 3” is not acceptable. All areas on a
building are numbered. FM buildings key plans indicated
the room number for all areas. If a number is not
available use “Sub location” to describe the location of
the room/equipment.
Give additional information about the location of the
equipment. For example “M. R. 6 east side ceiling”
Area that the equipment is serving. For example a fume
exhaust fan can serve “ASB-8823”; a supply fan can
serve “west wing of ASB building”; a pump can serve
“heating loop”
Design or Engineering number or government ID
number. For Example: “EF-3” or “AHU-1”
If the piece of equipment is a sub component of a larger
system the parent tag is the larger system equipment
number. For example: if supply fan with number
“3801053” is a subcomponent of AHU 1 with number
“380853” then the parent of “3801053” if “3808053”.
The supplier company that have contractual obligations
with SFU.
The purchase order number or the general contract
number that included the piece of equipment.
Purchased date or contract substantial completion date.
