FNiP No. 631 dated 31.12.2014 PDF

Full title and description

FNiP No. 631 — Federal norms and rules in the field of industrial safety: "Requirements for technological regulations of chemical‑technological productions", approved by the order of the Federal Service for Environmental, Technological and Atomic Supervision (Rostekhnadzor) dated 31 December 2014. The document defines mandatory content and safety requirements for technological regulations used at chemical and chemical‑technology hazardous production facilities.

Abstract

This normative act sets out mandatory requirements for the structure, content and safety measures to be included in technological regulations (technological process regulations) for chemical‑technological productions handling hazardous substances (toxic, highly toxic, environmentally hazardous and flammable/explosive substances). It describes required sections of a technological regulation, safety and monitoring provisions, and tables/forms to document hazards and controls.

Scope

The standard applies to technological regulations for chemical‑technological productions at hazardous production facilities where hazardous substances are produced, used, processed, stored, transported or destroyed. It prescribes mandatory sections, hazard classification, parameters to be controlled, requirements for safety systems and documentation to ensure explosion‑, fire‑ and toxic‑hazard management. The requirements were intended for use by designers, operators and safety engineers preparing technological regulations for chemical processes.

Key topics and requirements

• Mandatory structure and content for a technological regulation (general characteristics, process description, safety measures, monitoring and control systems).
• Hazard identification and classification for raw materials, products and wastes (toxicity, flammability, explosion hazard).
• Requirements for safe process parameters, permissible concentrations (oxygen, moisture, etc.) where catalysts or reactive substances are used.
• Specification of automatic protection systems, alarm/setpoint tables, interlocks and emergency shutdown procedures.
• Documentation templates and tables for recording substances, safety equipment, instrumentation and measurement/control points.

Typical use and users

Primary users: process safety engineers, chemical plant designers, responsible managers at hazardous production facilities, regulatory compliance officers and auditors, and organizations preparing technological regulations or safety documentation for chemical‑technology processes. The document was intended as a mandatory regulatory reference for preparation and review of technological regulations.

Related standards

Related documents include other federal norms and rules in the field of industrial safety (various FNP/FNiP documents issued by Rostekhnadzor), and subsequent consolidated federal norms introduced after the 2020 regulatory consolidation (Government Resolution No. 1192 of 06 August 2020) which led to replacement or re‑issuance of many earlier FNiP/FNP acts. Users should consult the later Rostekhnadzor orders and the Government resolution list for current applicable documents.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is a set of federal norms and rules (FNiP) titled "Requirements for technological regulations of chemical‑technological productions", approved by Rostekhnadzor by Order No. 631 on 31 December 2014.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It prescribes mandatory content, safety measures and documentation format for technological regulations used at hazardous chemical‑technology production facilities, including hazard classification, safe process parameters, protective systems and required tables/forms.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Process safety engineers, plant designers, operational safety managers, compliance officers and auditors preparing or reviewing technological regulations for chemical processes.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The original Order No. 631 (31.12.2014) was later removed from force as part of the Government's regulatory consolidation (Postanovlenie No. 1192 of 06.08.2020) that took effect 1 January 2021; many earlier FNiP/FNP documents were cancelled and replaced by updated federal norms and orders. Users must rely on the consolidated/newer Rostekhnadzor documents currently in force for compliance.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it was one of multiple Federal norms and rules (FNiP/FNP) in the area of industrial safety issued by Rostekhnadzor covering different classes of equipment and processes; after 2020 many of these were reworked or reissued as part of a consolidated package of federal norms and rules.
