Definition of CSD Code Numbers

A CSD code is an alphanumerically code of 22 positions (though not all digits are used for drawings or
letters numbering), subdivided into 5 ordinal sections and having the following appearance.

P I C L S D N R P, I, C, L, S, D, N, R- Ordinal

Ordinal Section P, Project code, contains three letters: Correspond to the project codification (BUJ -
shortcut), followed by a dash:

Ordinal Section I, is for the Identification of drawings, for which part of the project is addressed, S – for
substation drawings and L – for transmission lines drawings, one digit/letter followed by dash :

Ordinal Section C, is the Codification from the List of Correspondence Subjects, Annex 10 of the
Project Manual, four digits followed by dash:
