INTRODUCING
Performance Delivered, Safety Assured
Certified Service Facilities (IECEx 03-4) -Malaysian Experience
Malaysia is currently moving forward in ensuring safe working environment through adoption of IECEx System
• Currently implementation is merely user-driven, absence of regulations and limited certified service providers; however situation is improving
• Direction from PETRONAS – revised PETRONAS Technical Standards (PTS) in late 2016 requiring the use of Certified Service Facility under the IECEx scheme
• Growing awareness of Ex as part of Safety Critical Element• Competition with non-certified service providers• Potential for global expansions
Steps in Executing an Inspection Campaign
Contract Review - Identify Scope, Manpower, Client
Document and Deliverables- Ex Verification Dossier Guideline
- Ex Integrity Assurance Plan- IEC 60079 series
- Client Technical Standards/ Spec
Identify Qualified Personnel
1. Project Manager2. Project Engineer / Inspection
Coordinator3. Ex Responsible Person (Ex-RP)
4. Ex Inspector / Operative (Ex-OP)5. Ex Technician (if required)
Kick-Off Meeting with Client
- Finalize team (safety training, BOSIET etc)
- Project duration- Reporting Requirement
- Meeting Frequency- Deliverables
Mobilization and Execution
- Perform work as per Ex Inspection and Maintenance Guideline
- Ex Register- Ex-ITR
Monitor Progress and Issues
- Regular meetings with Client- Report submission
- Identify issues and way forward
Completion of Inspection Campaign
- Submit Findings- Discuss closure of findings
- Discuss Rectification requirements
- Issue Certificate of Completion- Lessons Learnt
Typical Documents for Submission to Client
Ex Verification Dossier
Ex Register
Ex Inspection Test Record (Ex-ITR)
Findings List
Work Completion Report
Maintaining Personnel Competency
Perform knowledge, practical and oral assessment based on IECEx references and internal
question bank
Perform Gap Analysis –identify limitation in terms of
protection types, product types, groups, voltages etc
Determine training requirements
On multiple campaigns, mix and match inspector teams
Rotate personnel to ensure everyone gain experience
Identify CoPC validity
Review Personnel experience and qualifications

Benefits of Using IECEx 03-4 Certified Service Facilities
1. Compliance to a global standards2. A more systematic approach to Ex verification and compliance process
(inspection, maintenance, rectification)3. Provides peace of mind to USERS as services are provided by IECEx-
certified facility, not individuals (typical manpower supply arrangement)4. Independent verification giving higher degree of assurance to USERS5. Reduce risk of injury/ fatality to personnel and environment impacts6. Scheduled Monitoring leading to Predictive Maintenance
Certified Service Facilities – Challenges
1. Lack of awareness on IECEx requirements among O&G industry players (asset owners and operators)
• Malaysia has over 400 offshore facilities and over 30 onshore facilities, however less number of long term contracts were tendered out in past 3 years.
• Personnel performing inspection tasks does not have right qualification• Currently no category for Ex Inspection and Maintenance in O&G license system
2. Cost perception• Greater focus on cost optimization following energy crisis, putting Ex compliance
in back seat• Ex compliance seen as new/ additional requirement• Wait and See approach
3. Other challenges• Competitive tendering cannot be done with a single player environment• Common question from potential clients – why do they need to spend extra on Ex
inspection and rectification when there is no enforcement?
Certified Service Facilities – Going Forward
1. Awareness among stakeholders is paramount2. Emphasis on cost of incident prevention3. Mandatory compliance via by-laws, parliamentary act4. Ex compliance is a Safety Critical Element, with potential
impact on personnel injury, loss of life, property and environment impacts
5. Move towards predictive maintenance
Regulation together with awareness among industry’s stakeholders are crucial in ensuring safe
and conducive working environment
