Study Notes
Objectives of Inspection
- The objectives of in-service inspection are to promote safety and health, comply with occupational health and safety legislation, limit potential damage to property, and protect the environment.
- These objectives are achieved by verifying that fabrication and operation comply with design conditions, verifying that pressure equipment is safe and fit for service, verifying that maintenance, repairs, and alterations maintain the integrity of the pressure equipment, and indicating repairs or alterations needed.
Asset Integrity Life Cycle
- Fitness for service during the overall life cycle of pressure equipment is determined by activities at the stages of concept, design, material, fabrication, and installation.
Risk Management and Risk-Based Inspection
- Risk management techniques may be used to achieve the objectives of the pressure equipment inspection program.
- The extent and frequency of inspection, quality of process control and monitoring, and potential consequence of failure are taken into account to operate pressure equipment at an acceptable level of risk.
Safety
- Principles and procedures to ensure the safety of personnel during the inspection of pressure equipment are outlined in Appendix C.
Special Conditions and Variations
- Departure from the requirements in this Standard may be necessary in special cases, and must be justified and fully documented by a competent person, and give a level of safety and quality no less than that specified in this Standard.
Referenced Standards
- Referenced Standards are not intended to be limiting or exclusive, and alternative standards may be substituted for the referenced standards, provided they give an equivalent level of safety and equipment quality.
- A list of pressure equipment Standards used in Australia and New Zealand and procedures for their use are included in AS/NZS 1200.
