1 Scope

1.1 This Standard identifies acceptable manufacturers and Systems used for Process
Automation. Instrumentation and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC's) are
not included in this standard. Refer to SAES-J-002 for a listing of acceptable
manufacturers of instrumentations and PLCs.

1.2 This Standard does not apply to procedures associated with the purchase of
spare parts and replacement of SAMSS stock for Process Automation Systems
components.

1.3 This standard contains both Restricted and Recommended Vendor's Lists for
Process Automation Systems. The Distributed Control Systems (DCS) RVL
and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system RVL are
Restricted Vendor Lists. All others are Recommended Vendor Lists.

2 Conflicts and Deviations

2.1 All conflicts between this standard and other applicable Saudi Aramco
Engineering Standards (SAESs), Materials System Specifications (SAMSSs),
Standard Drawings (SASDs), or industry standards, codes, and forms shall be
resolved in writing by the Company or Buyer Representative through Manager,
Process & Control Systems Department, Saudi Aramco, Dhahran.

2.2 Direct all requests to deviate from this standard in writing to the Company or
Buyer Representative, who shall follow internal company procedure SAEP-302
and forward such requests to the Manager, Process & Control Systems
Department, Saudi Aramco, Dhahran.

4 Definitions

Terms shown in bold font within this document are defined below:

9COM: Is a material number used within SAP system to represent a "Commodity

Number". The 9COM number represents a particular category of item and whether or
not materials belonging to that category are inspectable or not.

Approval: Written authorization by the Manager, Process & Control Systems

Department, Saudi Aramco, Dhahran.

P&CSD: Process & Control Systems Department, Saudi Aramco

Restricted Vendor List: A Restricted Vendor List (RVL) constitutes the exclusive list
of vendors and their associated product lines qualified to provide the applicable class of
process automation equipment to Saudi Aramco. Restricted Vendor Lists are prepared
in accordance with procedures defined in SAEP-15. Restricted Vendor List is for DCS
and SCADA.

Recommended Vendor List: Products contained in Recommended Vendor's Lists

have been evaluated by P&CSD and found to be technically acceptable. Recommended
Vendor List is for all other products other than DCS and SCADA.

Supplier: The person/company etc. who is responsible to provide the equipment to

Saudi Aramco.

Vendor: The company who is the manufacturer of the system or equipment.

5 General

5.1 Procurement of DCS and/or SCADA products outside of section 6 listing of this
Standard is prohibited.

5.2 Procurement of a product made by a manufacturer not listed in Section 7 of this

Standard is not allowed without Approval. Requests for approval of an
alternate manufacturer/product must be supported by documentation identifying
how the alternate manufacturer would better serve Saudi Aramco over the
manufacturers listed in this standard.

5.3 The listings within sections 6 and 7 shall be interpreted in the following manner:

5.3.1 System Name denotes the name of the system which as been determined
to be acceptable. A particular vendor may manufacture more than one
system for the type of application. Only the system shown in the
"System Name" column may be used.

5.3.2 Release Tested denotes the latest revision level of the system which has
been evaluated by P&CSD and determined to be acceptable. Requests to
use a more recent revision level or a previous version to the revision
listed require Approval of the General Supervisor, Process Control
Division, P&CSD, Saudi Aramco, Dhahran.
Commentary Notes:

The intention of this requirement is to ensure the use of the most recent
revision level which meets Company requirements. It is not the intention
to limit user to only the releases listed in this document. In general, minor
revisions within a Major Release do not need Approval. Designation of
major vs. minor revision levels is not consistent between vendors;
therefore, users are required to consult with P&CSD on the specifics of
any release which is newer than that listed.

Expansions to existing systems may use a prior revision level to maintain

consistency, in which case the use of prior revision levels does not
require P&CSD Approval.

5.3.3 Limitation column in the first table denote technical limitations with the
system.

5.3.3.1 Vendor is listed with the word "None" in the "Limitation"

column; the system listed under "System Name" may be used
without restriction.

5.3.3.2 Vendor is listed with description of a limitation in the

"Limitation" column; the system listed under "System Name"
may be used with the restriction noted.

5.3.3.3 Vendor is listed with the words "On-Hold" in the "Limitation"

column; purchasing the system listed under "System Name" is
prohibited. Requests to purchase a system listed as "On-Hold"
require Approval from the Manager, Process & Controls
Systems Department, Saudi Aramco. Requests must be
accompanied by details of the specific business justification for
purchase of the system.
