Lifting person devices:

— lifting tables— mobile elevating work platforms— personnel baskets— manrider winches— access platforms — case stabbing baskets— cherry pickers— climbing platforms.

Drilling hoisting equipment:

— draw work— ram rigs— BOP cranes— pipe handling cranes— swivels— crown block— travelling block— dead line anchor.

Robots:

— manipulator arms— manually controlled load manipulating devices— production lines.

which are applied in various configurations and tailored toeach particular project’s specific requirements.303 This specification describes the principles of a levelledverification involvement. These principles may be appliedboth for planning of any need or obligations for independentexternal verification (third party) as well as internal companyverification (second party).

A 400 Structure of this document Section 1 explains the relationship between this document andDNV’s overall risk based verification systematics. Section 2 describes the activities for each project and theproject phases for lifting appliances for offshore applications. Appendix A poses trigger questions to assist in the selectionof verification levelAppendix B gives detailed example scope of work tables forthe different phases and levels of involvement. These tablesare the basis for the development of project specific scope ofwork tables.Appendix C gives example verification documents anddescribes the documents issued during and as a result of theverification process. The use of quality management systemsis addressed here also.Appendix D is a separate appendix for lifting applianceswhich includes figures for information.

B. Risk Based VerificationB 100 Elements of the service101 The risk based verification concept is described inDNV-OSS-300 and shown in Figure 1.102 The Verification Plan is the pivot element, with theAsset Specification, Risk Assessment and Definition ofInvolvement Level as input and the Verification Executionbeing the implementation.

Figure 1 The DNV Risk Based Verification Flow Chart

C. Defining a Verification PlanC 100 Risk based verification planning101 The selection of the level of verification shall depend onthe risk level of each of the elements that have an impact on themanagement of hazards and associated risk levels of the asset.The planning can be simplified or detailed. This is furtherdescribed in DNV-OSS-300.102 This specification mainly aids in a simplified prepara-tion of the Verification Plan.

D. DNV Lifting Reports and CertificatesD 100 General on verification101 Verification describes the individual activities under-taken by DNV at the various stages of design, construction andoperation of the facility. The scope of the verification plan isultimately determined by the Client. A statement of Compli-ance may be issued by DNV to confirm compliance accordingto the scope of work.

D 200 General on certification201 Certification describes the totality of verification activi-ties leading up to the issue of a Certificate of Conformity. Thescope of work and verification plan, called a Certification Plan,is set by DNV. All design and construction aspects, related toprocess facility safety and integrity, must be covered by theCertification Plan.

D 300 DNV Certificate of Lifting Appliance301 In the event that DNV does not define the scope of worknecessary to achieve certification, a certificate of LiftingAppliance shall not be issued.

SECTION 2SERVICE OVERVIEW

A. GeneralA 100 Objectives101 The objectives of this section are to provide:

— an overview all verification activities relating to liftingappliances

— details of DNV’s verification services for lifting appli-ances.

B. Service ProcessB 100 General principles101 The description of the process of DNV’s verification oflifting appliances is based on distinct project phases and therecognition of key milestones.102 Verification performed by DNV normally progressesthrough one or more of these project phases and may includeall or selected aspects of the project. 103 The risk based verification process is described in rela-tion to the normal project phases:Project initiation:

— conceptual design.

Project realisation:

— detail design— construction and factory acceptance test— installation and commissioning— issue of certificates enabling for operation.

Project operation:

— operation — maintenance — repair.

Project abandonment:

— decommissioning — removal.

B 200 Simplified verification planning201 The steps in the simplified verification planning are asfollows:

— Use trigger questions to assess the overall risk level of theproject (or manageable elements thereof).

— Evaluate the risk against the relevant owner or projectacceptance criteria (often this can be directly tied to theowner core values or a sub-set of these) and decidewhether the general verification involvement shall beLow, Medium or High.

— Use the example detailed scope of work tables in Appen-dix B to make a first draft of a Verification Plan

— Generate the project specific Verification Plan by includ-ing a project specific engineering judgment or risk analy-sis to adjust the table to suit the project.

— Perform the verification execution according to the Verifi-cation Plan, making revision to the plan if and when nec-essary.

— Report the verification.

202 The trigger questions are included in Appendix A.203 Generic scopes of work for verification at the three lev-els of verification; Low (L), Medium (M) and High (H), aregiven in the tables in this section.204 Project specific detailed scope of work descriptions,based on the generic scopes of work tables and showing all theactivities to be verified, should be made. Examples of the levelof detail are given in Appendix B.205 Tables in this section 2 give the principle differencesbetween the levels of verification involvement. The detailedexample tables are to be treated as examples only. They shallnot be used without a project specific confirmation of theircompleteness.206 The project specific scope of work definition, derivedfrom the tables in Appendix B (or similar), shall be part of thefinal DNV verification report.

B 300 Selection of level of verification301 The selection of the level of verification for the simpli-fied verification planning is facilitated by the trigger questionsincluded in Appendix A.

B 400 Codes, standards and reference documents401 The verification process described in this DNV-OSS isnot tailored to a specific technical standard, code or referencedocument.402 It is recommended to use internationally recognisedcodes or standards. Where combinations of standards andexternal criteria are used the exact terms of reference and doc-uments to be issued shall be agreed at the beginning of theproject and formally defined in the contract.403 It is recommended strongly not to mix standards due tothe possible differences in safety philosophies.

Guidance note:Most standards are a coherent collection of requirements for allthe relevant aspects of a lifting appliance. These aspects, e.g. loadand resistance, are normally among themselves adjusted to givean overall acceptable safety level. To pick requirements from dif-ferent standards can then easily result in unpredictable and non-uniform levels of safety.

C. Project InitiationC 100 Verification during conceptual design101 Verification during the conceptual and/or feasibilitystudies of a project and in the early stages of a project canreduce the need for verification during the design, constructionand installation phases, and can reduce costs during the longterm operation, inspection and maintenance phases. 102 It is recommended to combine the design verificationduring project initiation phase with additional review of:

— project schedule— cost impacts— business risks.

103 During this phase it may be beneficial to make an initialverification plan. Risk evaluations are carried out during this

phase and should be used to get an indication of the generalverification level; Low, Medium or High.

D. Project RealizationD 100 General101 All design, construction and installation aspects, rele-vant to a lifting appliance, may be covered by the life cycleverification. 102 In this specification the split in the scope of workbetween design, construction and installation is made betweensets of requirements (specifications) developed during the var-ious phases.

Guidance note:The split between design, construction and installation may vary,but it is useful to spend some time on the definition to reduceinterface problems later.

---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---

D 200 Verification of overall project management201 Verification of the overall project management is theexamination of the means of controlling the entire processleading up to an operational lifting appliance.202 This verification should confirm that the necessary con-trols are in place to ensure information flow across the variousinterfaces. It is especially important where separate contractorshave been employed for different phases of the project such asdesign, construction and installation.203 Typically the documentation is expected to be in linewith ISO 9000 requirements.204 Definition of scope of work for verification of overallproject management shall follow Table D1.

205 The verification of the overall project management qual-ity system and documentation is optional. The reviews andaudits should typically be performed if an extensive verifica-tion of a project is performed, while might be omitted forsmaller sub-phase verifications.

D 400 Verification during construction and factory acceptance test401 This phase comprises prefabrication, fabrication, assem-bly, erection and Factory acceptance Test. An important ele-ment is to ensure that the contractual design requirements areincorporated in the purchase documentation, and that correctmaterials, components and proper testing procedures areapplied such that it meets the requirements as per approvedspecifications and procedures. It is recommended that relevantpreparations for this is started as early as possible, e.g. by theappointment of a vendor supply verification co-ordinator.402 Verification during construction and factory acceptancetest is carried out by means of attendance, audits, inspection orspot checks of the work as well as witnessing of factory accept-ance test, as appropriate, in sufficient detail to ensure that thespecified requirements of the lifting appliance will beachieved.403 Verification of these activities relates not only to themanufacturers work but also to the monitoring of this workcarried out by vendors and contractors others.404 Construction and factory acceptance test verificationmay consist of one, or some, of the following:

— reviewing the quality assurance system documentationadopted by the manufacturer and vendors

— reviewing the construction process— reviewing construction procedures— reviewing qualification process— reviewing manufacturer survey arrangements, if applica-

ble— surveillance during construction activities— witnessing during factory acceptance test— reviewing final documentation.

405 The documentation that should be submitted for revieware typically:

— manufacturing quality system documentation— manufacturing procedures, including test requirements

and acceptance criteria, repairs, personnel qualificationrecords etc.

— material certificates— test and calibration records— dimensional measurement reports — welding documentation incl. NDE reports

— noise and vibration records.

406 Particularly for the Factory Acceptance Test it is highlyrecommended to prepare a formal test procedure be verifiedprior to commencement.407 Scope of work for verification of construction shouldfollow Table D3 for manufacturing and fabrication and TableD4 for FAT.

APPENDIX A SELECTION OF VERIFICATION LEVEL

A. GeneralA 100 General principles101 The selection of the level of verification depends on therisk level of each of the elements that have an impact on themanagement of risks to the asset.102 Verification shall direct greatest effort at those elementsof the asset where the risk is highest and whose failure orreduced performance will have the most significant impact onthe project objective and goals, e.g.:

— safety risks,— environmental risks,— economic/business risks.

103 Suitable selection factors include, but are not limited to,the:

— overall safety and other objectives for the asset— assessment of the risks associated with the asset and the

measures taken to reduce these risks— degree of technical innovation in the asset— experience of the contractors in carrying out the work— quality management systems of the owner and its contrac-

tors— business risk associated with schedule impact and rework.

104 Due to the diversity of various lifting appliances, theircontents, their degree of innovation, the geographic location,etc., it is not possible to give precise guidelines on how todecide what level of verification is appropriate for each partic-ular structure.105 Therefore, guidance is given in the form of a series ofquestions that should be answered when deciding the appropri-ate level of verification for a process facility. This list is notexhaustive and other questions should be added to the list ifappropriate for a particular process facility.106 It must be emphasised that the contribution of each ele-ment should be judged qualitatively and/or quantitatively.Wherever possible quantified risk assessment data should useto provide a justifiable basis for any decisions made.107 Depending on the stage of the project, the activities maynot have taken place yet in which case the questions can alsobe posed in another form, i.e. “Is …. planned to be?”

B. Trigger QuestionsB 100 Overall Project Objective and Goals

— Does the safety objective address the main safety goals?— Does the safety objective establish acceptance criteria for

the level of risk acceptable to the owner?— Is this risk (depending on the type of appliance and its

location) also measured in terms of environmental, eco-nomic and political consequences?

— In terms of scope of work is the project schedule realistic?— Does the contract place severe financial penalties if target

dates for commissioning are not met?

Guidance note:Substitute Safety Objective with other relevant objectives for theproject, and go through all of them.

---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---

B 200 Assessment of risk

— Has a systematic review been carried out to identify andevaluate the probabilities and consequences of failures inthe lifting appliance?

— Has this review judged the contribution of each elementqualitatively and/or quantitatively and used, where possi-ble, quantified risk assessment data to provide a justifiablebasis for any decisions made?

— Does the extent of the review reflect the risk level of thelifting appliance, the planned operation and previous expe-rience with similar appliances?

— Does this review identify the risk to the operation of thelifting appliance and to the health and safety of personnelassociated with it or in its vicinity?

— Has the extent of the identified risks been reduced to alevel as low as reasonably practicable by means of one orboth of:

— reduction in the probability of failure?— mitigation of the consequences of failure?

— Has the result of the systematic review of the risks beenmeasured against the Owner’s safety (or other) objective?

— Has the result of this review been used in the selection ofthe appropriate verification activity level?

— In terms of schedule which are the items which have a sig-nificant impact?

B 300 Technical innovation

— Has the degree of technical innovation in the lifting appli-ance design been considered?

— Has it been considered that risks to the structure are likelyto be greater with a high degree of technical innovationthan with an appliance designed, fabricated and installedto usual/typical criteria ?

— Have factors been considered in the selection of the appro-priate verification level such as:

— degree of difficulty in achieving technical require-ments?

— knowledge of similar solutions?

B 400 Contractors’ experience

— Has the degree of risk to the design/fabrication and instal-lation been considered with respect to the experience ofthe manufacturer/contractor?

— Has the degree of risk been considered where the manu-facturers/contractors are experienced but not in similarwork?

— Has the degree of risk been considered where the workschedule is tight?

B 500 Quality management systems

— Have all parties involved in the project implemented anadequate quality management system to ensure that grosserrors in the work are limited?

— Do these parties include the:

— owner?— design contractor?

— construction contractors?— vendors?— installation contractor?— operator?

— Do the factors being considered when evaluating the ade-quacy of the quality management system include:

— Whether or not an ISO 9000 or equivalent certifiedsystem is in place?

— results from external audits?— results from internal audits?— experience with contractors’ previous work?— project work force familiarity with the quality man-

agement system?

APPENDIX B DETAILED EXAMPLE SCOPE OF WORK TABLES FOR VERIFICATION

A. General

A 100 General introduction 101 This appendix provides the format of the detailed verifi-cation lists (tables), generated for typical systems comprisinga lifting facility:

1) Cranes2) Lifting accessories3) Lifting appliances for life saving equipment4) Lifting person devices5) Drilling hoisting equipment6) Robots.

which shall be made for each particular project. 102 The detailed project specific verification lists for thechosen level of verification shall be based on these tables.103 For project scenarios or components not covered in thisAppendix, similar lists with the same degree of detail shall bemade.104 If any of the activities are moved from one phase toanother, then this must be identified clearly identified on thelist where it is removed. Similarly, the detailed list for thephase to where it is moved shall be amended.

Guidance note:Typically, contractual boundaries may give natural splits ofactivities between phases. However, then it is then even moreimportant to ensure that there is a traceably as to which phaseswhat activity belong and that this is also conveyed to the contrac-tors also.

---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---

B. Description of Terms Used in the Scope of Work Tables

B 100 General101 The following abbreviations have been used. The defini-tions of which are given subsequently:

— A is audit— S is surveillance— H is Hold Point— R is review— I is for information.

102 These abbreviations are DNV’s preferred terms and nor-mally will be used in DNV-generated documents. However,other terms, for example monitoring or witnessing, will beused by DNV if these are the terms commonly used in docu-ments, such as Inspection and Test Plans, generated by others.In that case, it is expected that these other terms are defined inthese documents.

B 200 Audit201 Systematic and independent examination to determinewhether quality activities and related results comply withplanned arrangements and whether these arrangements areimplemented effectively and are suitable to achieve objectives

(ISO 8402:1994). Guidance note:This activity differs from the surveillance by being focused onthe adherence to and completeness and robustness of the proce-dures and not on the actual result of the procedure (although thisis not ignored). Further, the audit is normally a ‘one-off’ activityas opposed to the continuity in monitoring.

---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---

B 300 Surveillance301 Continual monitoring and verification of the status of anentity and analysis of records to ensure that specified require-ments are being fulfilled (ISO 8402:1994).

Guidance note:Other commonly used terms for surveillance are monitoring orwitnessing.

---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---

302 The amount of work involved in surveillance is notdescribed in detail in the tables. This shall be part of the finalcontractual scope of work which shall define the frequency ofsurveillance based on the overall surveillance and the qualitycontrol performed by other parties as well as DNV’s experi-ence. 303 The following shall be used to describe the frequency ifnothing else is specifically defined:

S1 = Surveillance on a visit basis, e.g. once per week orsample review 10-20%

S2 = Surveillance frequency minimum once per day orreview of 50-60%

S3 = Surveillance frequency minimum once per shift orreview of 100% of items

Guidance note:These surveillance frequencies may be modified to correspondwith production work flow.

---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---

B 400 Review401 Systematic examination of reports and documentationagainst a project defined verification basis. The depth of review will depend both on the type of documentand the level of involvement.402 The following shall be used to describe the extent of thereview if nothing else is specifically defined:

I = for information onlyR1 = review of principles and general aspectsR2 = Review of principles, general aspects & spot check of

calculations

Guidance note:Review of production records does not guarantee their correct-ness. It is a confirmation to DNV that the manufacturer and/orsub-contractor has preformed the required activity and issued areport.

wise agreed, not be signed and stamped.

C. Overall Project ManagementC 100 General101 The project quality management documentation, if partof scope, should be available for review at the early stages ofthe project, preferably before design is underway, to ensurethat the necessary controls are in place.

D. DesignD 100 General101 Design consists of conceptual and detailed design andtheir associated documentation.102 The scope of work for design verification is shown intables listed in this chapter, for various types of lifting appli-ances. The tables states a recommended scope of work for low,medium and high level verification, and may be changed uponan agreement between the Client and DNV based on themethod listed in Appendix A.103 For manufacturers and vendors who have established aDNV approved ISO9000 quality system covering design oflifting appliances, this may reduce the scope of work accord-ingly, upon agreement with DNV. Appendix B describes theissues to be reviewed and the extent of verification included inthe three verification levels.

D 200 Verification during design201 For verification of lifting appliances during design thefollowing activities are considered:

— initial activities— review activities— final activities

The initial activities includes a review of basic project infor-

mation, design criteria and the design quality management sys-tem of the designer. The review activities include evaluation ofdocumentation related to the design of the lifting appliance.The final activities include issuance of a design verificationreport.

D 300 Low level design verification301 The Low level design verification consists of a minimumverification involvement in order for DNV to issue a DesignVerification Report. Provided that the proceeding verificationactivities are performed during construction, FAT, installationand commissioning, a DNV Certificate of Lifting Appliancemay finally be issued. The Low level verification scheme isbased that the risks associated with potential faulty design isconsidered to be low, typically for smaller, low capacity liftingappliances. The Client may find internal control measures suf-ficient and choose a low level design verification based on for-mal requirements towards the designer, such as qualityassurance requirement, internal verification or EC Declarationof Conformity issued by the manufacturer. Low level designverification will imply that the manufacturer is the sole respon-sible for the Technical Construction File, and that a very lim-ited extent of documentation is subject for design review.

D 400 Medium level design verification 401 Medium level design verification consists of a review ofmain design documents related to safety and integrity. Criticalaspects will be spot checked with focus on strength and integ-rity. The review will be detailed for high risk aspects and inde-pendent checks will be performed. The medium level designverification corresponds to the ILO certification schemeapplied world wide in the maritime area. Ref. DNV Standardfor Certification No. 2.22 Lifting Appliances.

D 500 High level design verification501 High level design verification consists of a full review ofmost of the produced documents related to safety and integrity,including SHE aspects, performance and endurance of the lift-ing appliance. The main specifications are also checked. Thereview will be detailed for all high risk aspects and independ-ent checks will be performed. Less critical aspects will be spotchecked. High level design verification is recommended forlifting appliances representing high risks, such as high capacitycranes, cranes lifting over process areas, cranes lifting persons,etc.

E. Construction and Factory Acceptance Test (FAT)

E 100 General101 Construction and FAT consists of fabrication site activ-ities and their associated documentation.102 The scope of work for verification during constructionand FAT is shown in tables listed in this chapter, for varioustypes of lifting appliances. The tables states a recommendedscope of work for low, medium and high level verification, andmay be changed upon an agreement between the Client andDNV based on the method listed in Appendix A.103 For manufacturers and vendors who have established aDNV approved ISO9000 quality system covering constructionand FAT of lifting appliances, this may reduce the scope ofwork accordingly, upon agreement with DNV.104 For manufacturers who have established a Manufactur-ing Survey Agreement (MSA) with DNV, in order to system-atically survey the construction and FAT activities, thisarrangement can be used instead of the verification schemelisted in this chapter, upon further agreement.

E 200 Construction and FAT verification201 For verification of lifting appliances the following activ-ities are considered:

— initial activities— surveillance, review and test activities, and — final activities.

202 The initial activities include the review of procedures,

attendance during qualification of procedures (e.g. MPQT) andpersonnel (e.g. welders) and other start-up activities. The sur-veillance, review and test activities are the site attendance andthe final activities are the review of production results/records,and the completion of documentation and reports.

E 300 Low level construction and FAT verification301 For Low level verification, no verification activities arestated. For this verification level, it is assumed that construc-tion and FAT of the lifting appliance in question is associatedwith low risk. This may be caused by the type and nature of theparticular lifting appliance, or due to extensive internal qualityassurance measures taken by the manufacturer or the client toensure that all requirements are met. 302 Some of the potential verification activities during con-struction and FAT for low level verification will however becovered by verification during installation and commissioning.

E 400 Medium level construction and FAT verification401 For Medium level verification, the procedure reviewconsists of a review of principles and general aspects of theconstruction quality system, design review reports and proce-dures for construction and FAT.402 During construction, DNV’s verification will be per-formed by part time attendance at the main site. The verifica-tion will mainly be spot check survey of structural parts andtheir assembly. Further, review of the construction records andthe manufacturing record book will be reviewed by spot check.403 Verification of the final activities will be carried out wit-nessing of safety critical parts of the FAT. An inspectionrelease note will then be issued.

E 500 High level construction verification501 For High level verification, the initial activities consistof a detailed review of construction management system andprocedures. A quality audit will be performed. Design verifi-cation reports and the FAT procedure will be reviewed. Anydesign changes will be required to be verified before construc-tion.502 Survey activity will include all main elements, SHEaspects, performance, endurance properties and marking.Depending on the fabrication schedule, part or full time attend-ance during construction will be required. Verification willfocus on the critical items and or aspects as identified in thedetailed scope of work tables.503 Verification of the final activities will be by detailedreview of the production records and witnessing of FAT duringtesting of safety critical aspects as well as performance andendurance tests.504 Finally an inspection release note and a FAT verificationreport will be issued.

Installation and CommissioningF 100 General101 Installation and commissioning consists of a number ofdifferent activities at the installation site including reviews,surveys and witnessing of testing.102 The scope of work for verification during installationand commissioning is shown in tables listed in this chapter, forvarious types of lifting appliances. The tables states a recom-mended scope of work for low, medium and high level verifi-cation, and may be changed upon an agreement between theClient and DNV based on the method listed in Appendix A.103 For manufacturers and vendors who have established aDNV approved ISO9000 quality system covering installationand commissioning of lifting appliances, this may reduce thescope of work accordingly, upon agreement with DNV.

F 200 Verification during installation and commission-ing201 For verification of lifting appliances during installationand commissioning the following activities are considered:

— initial activities— surveillance— review activities

— test activities — final activities.

202 The initial activities include review of the quality man-agement system for installation and commissioning and otherstart-up activities. The surveillance activities are the siteattendance, the review activities may be carried out prior to orat site and the test and final activities are the (continuous)review of installation and commissioning results/records andthe completion of documentation and reports.

F 300 Low level installation and commissioning verifi-cation301 For Low level verification, the initial activities consist ofa limited review of the documentation from the previousphases.302 During the surveillance activities, main focus will be onthe installation of the lifting appliance and the foundation andthe interface between the foundation and the lifting appliance.Also access and escape routes, signs and marking will be sur-veyed. The verification will be performed during site visits. 303 The subsequent review activities will focus on the docu-mentation for the foundation structure and the manufacturingrecord book, including construction and FAT but also from theinstallation and commissioning phase.

(documents, drawings, correspondence, including revisionnumbers)

— project-specific scope of work tables— any comments— identification of any non-conformances.

303 The verification report shall always be dated and havetwo signatures, the originator and the DNV internal verifier.

A 400 Verification comments 401 Reviews of documents shall be reported using Verifica-tion Comment Sheets (often called VerComs). These docu-ments give details to the client of aspects of the fixed offshorestructure facilities design and construction that DNV:

— considers does not meet the specified requirements— does not have enough information to make a decision— offers advice based on its own experience.

402 Only in the first two instances does DNV expect aresponse from the Owner or its contractors.403 An example of a typical Verification Comment sheet isshown at the end of this appendix.

A 500 Audit report501 Audit reports are issued to confirm that a company’squality management system has been reviewed to confirmcompliance (or not) with the nominated standard and projectrequirements. In addition, the audit reports confirm compli-ance with the documented procedures and that these proce-dures are effective.502 Audit reports shall contain information such as whether:

— the company has a documented quality system— this quality system has been certified by an accredited Cer-

tification Body for the product (or service) in question— the quality system covers the following quality assurance

elements adequately for the product:

— organisation— authority/responsibility— job descriptions for key persons— internal quality audits— documentation change control— job instructions/procedures— non-conformance/corrective action

— there are adequate procedures for activities such as:

— calibration of equipment— material identification and marking— control of special processes such as welding, NDT,

PWHT— non-conformance identification and handling— inspection status— final inspection

— the company’s facilities are, in general, considered ade-quate for the scope of supply

— a quality plan has been prepared for the order concerned— the purchaser or their appointed inspection agency are

planned to attend the works— there are any problem areas identified.

602 A visit report shall contain enough information to iden-tify clearly the product or service that has been examined, theoperating conditions or specifications to which it has beenexamined and the conclusion reached by DNV.603 The visit report shall be printed on the relevant form andshall contain as much information as possible in accordancewith the standard headings in the form. In addition, the reportnumber shall be shown.604 An example of a typical visit report is shown at the endof this Appendix.

B. Use of Quality Management Systems B 100 General101 The assurance of structural integrity requires that grosserrors during design, construction and operation be minimised.The likelihood of gross errors shall be reduced in a systematicmanner by the operation of a quality management system ade-quate for the work being carried out. 102 Quality management systems frequently are docu-mented at three levels:

— the quality manual and related procedures document howthe organisation, as a whole, manages the quality of all itsproducts and services

— the quality plan documents the specific procedures relatedto a particular project

— the inspection and test plan documents how the qualitycontrol activities for a particular project shall be carriedout and recorded.

B 200 Quality plans201 The basic function of a quality plan is as an aide in themanagement of a project. In an organisation with many qualityprocedures for a variety of functions the quality plan statesthose that are applicable to that particular project. The qualityplan acts as a route map through the complexities of manage-ment of the project and highlights those activities relevant toquality management.202 The project quality plan normally consists of two parts;firstly, a narrative description of the means of controlling theproject, and secondly, a tabular description of the inspectionsand tests to be carried out during the work.203 The quality plan should address:

— organisational details of the project— authorities and responsibilities of key personnel— interfaces between, the client, contractors, sub-contractors

and third parties— quality assurance activities placed on sub-contractors— cross references to existing company procedures.

204 The narrative part of the quality plan should include adescription of:

— the applicable standards— project organisation and responsibilities— review of the contractual requirements— project planning and progress reporting— procedures for such activities as design control, purchas-

ing, construction, installation, commissioning, interfacecontrol and auditing

— procedures for inspection and maintenance as well as nor-mal operation

— emergency response issues

205 Additionally, the narrative part of the plan shoulddescribe the documentation requirements. It should be speci-fied:

— what documents are required— at what stage these documents are required— who is responsible for preparing the documents— relevant parties to whom documents are submitted— how any necessary approvals are acquired— who has originals and who has copies— if copies have to be certified copies— the length of time documents are to be retained and by

whom.

B 300 Inspection and test plans301 The tabular description of the inspections and tests to becarried out during the work is frequently known as the inspec-tion and test plan.302 The following items should be checked for inclusionwithin the inspection and test plan:

— each inspection and test point and its relative location inthe production cycle should be shown

— the characteristics to be inspected and tested at each pointshould be identified

— the use of sub-contractors should be indicated and detailsof how the verification of sub-contractor’s quality shall becarried out should be shown

— hold points established by the constructor, the operator ora third party, where witness or review of the selectedinspection or test is required, should be shown.

B 400 Review of quality management programme401 The contractor’s quality manual shall be reviewed forcompliance with ISO 9001 or 9002 as appropriate. The con-tractor’s operations should be audited to establish compliancewith the documented system.402 If the contractor has a quality system certified by anaccredited third party certification body, this may be taken asevidence of a satisfactory quality system provided the certifi-cate is relevant to the contractor’s scope of work for theproject. However, the last two years’ periodical audit reportsshall be reviewed to identify if any recurring non-conformitieshave been revealed.403 Any weaknesses revealed during this audit, or review ofperiodical audit reports, shall be considered when planning thecontractor monitoring activities.404 Surveillance of the continuing acceptability of the con-tractor’s quality management system is carried out by observ-ing a selection of audits carried out by the contractor as part ofits internal audit system. The audits to be observed should beselected over the length of the project at suitable intervals andshould cover as wide a selection of activities as possible.405 Contractors’ inspection and test plans for the variousactivities undertaken during their scope of work for the pipe-line shall be reviewed and accepted, if adequate.
