Regulations

The frameworks every P&ID-dependent workflow runs under.

Detailed guides to the US regulatory frameworks that govern the workflows Armeta automates. Each guide cites the specific regulatory text and explains what the regulation requires in operational terms — what is in scope, what documentation is required, and where P&IDs sit inside the compliance program.

All regulations

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.

B.1
OSHA PSM29 CFR 1910.119

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.

B.2
EPA RMP40 CFR Part 68

Risk 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.

B.3
EPA LDAR40 CFR Parts 60, 61, 63

Leak 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.

B.4
Method 2140 CFR Part 60, Appendix A-7

Determination of VOC Leaks

The reference measurement method for fugitive VOC emissions, incorporated by reference into essentially every federal LDAR regulation.

B.5
NSPS40 CFR Part 60

New 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.

B.6
NESHAP40 CFR Part 61

National 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.

These 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.

Your drawings, your data

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.
