Equipment Control Matrix (ECM)5.1 Equipment Control Classes (ECCs):5.1.1 The ECCs are based on the consequences of the loss ofcontrol of the equipment. There are five classifications, orgroupings, which define the ECCs.5.1.1.1 Equipm
20、ent Control Class 1Consequence of loss ofcontrol is a societal safety/security impact, which is character-ized by negative societal safety or security impact.5.1.1.2 Equipment Control Class 2Consequence of loss ofcontrol is a personal safety/security impact, which is charac-terized by negative perso
21、nal safety or security impact that doesnot rise to the level of a societal safety or security impact.5.1.1.3 Equipment Control Class 3Consequence of loss ofcontrol is an operational impact, which is characterized bynegative operational impact that does not rise to the level of apersonal or societal
22、safety or security impact.5.1.1.4 Equipment Control Class 4Consequence of loss ofcontrol is a compliance impact, which is characterized bynegative compliance with applicable laws regulations or otherrelevant internal or external guidance that does not rise to thelevel of an operational impact.5.1.1.
23、5 Equipment Control Class 5Consequence of loss ofcontrol is not discernible, which is characterized by having novisible or recognizable impact on the organization.5.2 Equipment Control Levels (ECLs):5.2.1 The five levels of control of equipment are based ondifferentiated tracking specifications.5.2.
24、1.1 Equipment Control Level A.Continuous, whichprovides real time tracking and control with either human orelectronic monitoring and surveillance at all times.5.2.1.2 Equipment Control Level B.Continuous whilemobile, which provides real time tracking and control witheither human or electronic monito

26、rol Level D.Containment, whichprovides the level of control characterized by process orelectronic methods of assuring equipment items are containedwithin a designated area.5.2.1.5 Equipment Control Level E.No tracking and noprotection are required at this level.5.3 Equipment Control Matrix (ECM):5.3
27、.1 The equipment control matrix describes the relation-ships between the ECCs and the ECLs. (See Table 1.)5.3.2 Each equipment control class has a corresponding,standard equipment control level.5.3.2.1 The standard corresponding control level is markedwith an “S” for Standard on Table 1.5.3.2.2 An i
28、ncreased level of control is marked “I” forIncreased on Table 1.5.3.2.3 A decreased level of control is marked “D” forDecreased on Table 1.5.3.2.4 Levels of control marked “NR” for Not Recom-mended on Table 1 are not appropriate in most environments.TABLE 1 Equipment Control MatrixEquipment Control
