Study Notes

Risk Management and Risk-Based Inspection

  • Risk management techniques may be used to achieve the objectives of the pressure equipment inspection program.
  • Factors to consider when determining the extent and frequency of inspection include the potential consequence of failure, the quality of process control and monitoring, and the level of risk.

Safety

  • Principles and procedures for ensuring safety during the inspection of pressure equipment are outlined in Appendix C.

Special Conditions and Variations

  • Departures from the Standard may be necessary in special cases, but must be justified and documented by a competent person.
  • Any departure from the Standard must provide a level of safety and quality no less than that specified in the Standard.

Referenced Standards

  • Where this Standard references other Standards, alternative standards may be substituted if they provide an equivalent level of safety and equipment quality.

Inspection Requirements

Objectives of Inspection

  • The objectives of in-service inspection are to promote safety and health, comply with occupational health and safety legislation, limit property damage, and protect the environment.
  • These objectives are achieved by verifying fabrication and operation compliance with design conditions, verifying safe and fit-for-service equipment, and indicating needed repairs or replacements.

Asset Integrity Life Cycle

  • The overall life cycle of pressure equipment includes stages such as concept, design, material, fabrication, and installation to determine fitness for service.
