ISA88standardit

ISA88 is an international standard for the design of batch processes, developed by the International Society of Automation (ISA). It provides a framework for the design, implementation, and operation of batch control systems. The standard is divided into two parts: ISA88 Part 1 and ISA88 Part 2.

ISA88 Part 1, also known as the "Batch Control" standard, focuses on the design and implementation of batch control systems. It defines a structured approach to batch process design, including the definition of process models, recipes, and procedures. The standard emphasizes the importance of clear and consistent terminology, as well as the need for a systematic approach to process design and control.

ISA88 Part 2, also known as the "Batch Information" standard, focuses on the management of batch process information. It defines a data model for batch process information, including the definition of batch records, batch events, and batch attributes. The standard emphasizes the importance of data integrity and consistency, as well as the need for a systematic approach to batch process information management.

ISA88 is widely used in the process industries, including the pharmaceutical, chemical, and food and beverage industries. The standard provides a common framework for batch process design and control, which can help to improve process efficiency, reduce errors, and enhance product quality. The standard is also used to facilitate the integration of batch control systems with other enterprise systems, such as manufacturing execution systems (MES) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems.

ISA88 is maintained and updated by the ISA, which is a global organization that promotes the development and use of automation standards. The standard is regularly reviewed and updated to ensure that it remains relevant and effective in the face of changing industry needs and technologies.
