The frameworks every P&ID-dependent workflow runs under.
Seven frameworks. One drawing dependency.
OSHA PSM and EPA RMP govern the process safety program. EPA LDAR, Method 21, NSPS, NESHAP, and MACT govern fugitive emissions and hazardous air pollutants. Each one requires a compliance record that traces back to the facility's governing P&IDs.
Process Safety Management
The foundational US regulation governing safe operation of facilities that handle highly hazardous chemicals. Fourteen required elements built on a Process Safety Information core that puts P&IDs at the center.
Read the guideRisk Management Program
EPA's community-safety counterpart to OSHA PSM, promulgated under Clean Air Act Section 112(r). Three program levels; Program 3 substantively mirrors PSM.
Read the guideLeak Detection and Repair — Framework and Best Practices
EPA's framework for fugitive emission monitoring, spanning Parts 60, 61, and 63. The October 2007 Best Practices Guide is the reference inspectors cite in enforcement settlements.
Read the guideDetermination of VOC Leaks
The reference measurement method for fugitive VOC emissions, incorporated by reference into essentially every federal LDAR regulation.
Read the guideNew Source Performance Standards
EPA's prospective emission standards for new, modified, and reconstructed stationary sources. Source-category subparts including SOCMI and refinery equipment leak rules.
Read the guideNational Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
The pre-1990 Clean Air Act HAP framework. Covers specific pollutants — principally benzene, asbestos, and vinyl chloride — with industrially relevant LDAR requirements at Subpart J.
Read the guideMaximum Achievable Control Technology
The post-1990 HAP framework. Nearly 200 source-category subparts, including the Hazardous Organic NESHAP (HON) at Subpart H and the Refinery NESHAP at Subpart CC.
Read the guideThese guides are written as plain-English explanations of what each regulation requires and how it connects to the drawings Armeta structures. They are not legal advice — every facility's applicability determination should be made in consultation with qualified counsel and the facility's environmental, health, and safety team.
Start with ten of your own drawings.
Regulations define the requirement. The fastest way to see what compliance looks like when your P&IDs are structured, current, and drawing-traceable is to run Armeta on your actual drawings.
