Purpose

The purpose of ISA108 is to define standard templates of best practices and work processes for implementation and use of diagnostic and other information provided by intelligent field devices in the process industries.

Scope

Committee work products will include recommended work processes and implementation practices for systems that utilize information from intelligent field devices and the people who use them.

Work process templates by worker roles (such as maintenance or operations) will be one area of research. Best practices for implementation will be developed.

Models will be developed for the flow of information from devices through the various systems that use the information.
