Course Objective
After completing this module the student will:
• Define the scope of the GCCH-1 standards.
• Explain the benefits of the GCCH-1 standards.
• Identify the audience for the GCCH-1 standards.
• Recognize deviations that supersede the GCCH-1
standards.
• Discuss the different Normative References used.
• List the GCCH-1 supporting information.
Course Objective
• Differentiate the terms regulation, guideline, and standard.
• Identify the content and sections of the GCCH-1 standards.
• Locate the current version of the GCCH-1 standards.
• Identify GCCH-1 standards within a Global SOR.
Course Scope
• GCCH-1 applies to control system hardware designs for GM
Vehicle Systems and Powertrain.
• Additional specifications and standards may be provided for a
specific project, but the content of GCCH-1 shall take precedence
in cases where another standard presents opposing direction.
• Only national or local codes and regulations (legal requirements)
shall supersede this document for any GM project.
• Any and all conflicts must be documented and presented to the
appropriate GM project or controls engineer responsible for
resolution.
GCCH-1 Benefits
• Assure safe operation of industrial equipment.
• Increase productivity of systems.
• Introduce common systems to all areas.
• Reduce tool costs.
• Leverage engineering resources.
• Provide flexible designs to accommodate changes.
Design and turn-key suppliers do not have to keep
track of different design documents.
• Cost effective by using a common design method
Product Quality
Course Audience
The GCCH-1 is primarily used by controls design personnel;
however, it shall be used by all personnel involved in the
lifecycle of controls systems such as:
• Control engineers
• Machine tool builders
• Installation personnel
• In-plant resources
