How is Equipment Criticality Determined?

Updated on May 12, 2022

Equipment Criticality is primarily determined by the Customer. Here are some basic guidelines that can be used to get things started.

Criticality	What it means
1 - Critical	Absolutely Necessary for Production. Little/No Redundancy.
2 - Important	Significant Impact to Production. Limited Redundancy.
3 - Required	Limited impact to production. Multiple Redundancies.
4 - Low	Little to No Impact to the Production of the Plant.
5 - Least Critical

If criticality needs to be changed, please make sure that the customer is involved and bought in to the new rating.
