KKS was developed in Germany in the 1970s by VGB PowerTech (formerly VGB – Technische Vereinigung der Großkraftwerksbetreiber). It was designed to address the limitations of older, plant-specific labeling systems. Unlike general standards such as ISO 14000 or general equipment tagging, KKS is purpose-built for .
Thus, 10 LBA 10 AA 001 uniquely identifies the motor of boiler feed pump #10 in system LBA.
The KKS (Kernkraftwerk Kennzeichnung System) code is a standardized system used for identifying and labeling components, systems, and structures in nuclear power plants. Developed in Germany, the KKS code has been widely adopted by the nuclear industry worldwide as a common language for power plant documentation, operation, and maintenance. In this article, we will explore the KKS code and its significance in power plant operations, with a focus on its application in power plant design, documentation, and management.
The is more than a manual – it is the linguistic foundation of a power station. From initial design to daily maintenance, from spare parts procurement to accident prevention, KKS enables unambiguous communication across disciplines and languages.
