Criticality Categories Based On DEP 31.22.00.30

The document outlines 3 categories for criticality based on operational risk, design complexity, and fabrication complexity. Category 1 represents the highest risk and warrants the most stringent requirements. Category 1 includes potential releases over 10 tonnes of flammable fluid or stored energy over 1000 MJ. Category 2 includes potential releases between 2-10 tonnes of flammable fluid or stored energy under 1000 MJ. Category 3 includes potential releases under 2 tonnes of non-toxic or flammable fluid and stored energy under 300 MJ, representing the lowest risk.
