DEFINITIONS
The following terms and acronyms apply to this practice.
Title Description
CFQ Class of Facility Quality
Contract A deliberate agreement enforceable by law between two or more competent

persons or parties to perform or not to perform a specific act or acts. A
contract may be oral or written. Acceptance may be either in writing or by
performance, unless the PO / contract requires acceptance thereof to be in
writing, in which case it must be thus accepted.

design specification as defined in this document.
Lightning A natural phenomenon; which is associated with a high electrostatic

discharge and high energy which may lead to loss of life and property.
Lightning protection system is installed to disperse the energy from a lightning
strike safely to earth.
Project Procedures Manual Practice 000.100.0060 - Defines the procedures and methods used to
(PPM) execute a project. Job bulletins are used to augment the PPM when needed
to provide project specific procedures
