Foreword

This specification was prepared under a Joint Industry Programme 33 (JIP33) "Standardization of Equipment
Specifications for Procurement" organized by the International Oil & Gas Producers Association (IOGP) with
the support from the World Economic Forum (WEF). Companies from the IOGP membership participated in
developing this specification to leverage and improve industry level standardization for projects globally in the
oil and gas sector. The work has developed a minimized set of supplementary requirements for procurement,
with life cycle cost in mind, resulting in a common and jointly approved specification, building on recognized
industry and/or international standards.

Recent trends in oil and gas projects have demonstrated substantial budget and schedule overruns. The Oil
and Gas Community within the World Economic Forum (WEF) has implemented a Capital Project Complexity
(CPC) initiative which seeks to drive a structural reduction in upstream project costs with a focus on industry-
wide, non-competitive collaboration and standardization. The CPC vision is to standardize specifications for
global procurement for equipment and packages, facilitating improved standardization of major projects across
the globe. JIP33 provides the oil and gas sector with the opportunity to move from internally to externally
focused standardisation initiatives and provide step change benefits in the sector's capital projects
performance.

This specification has been developed in consultation with a broad user and supplier base to realize benefits
from standardization and achieve significant project and schedule cost reductions.

The JIP33 work groups performed their activities in accordance with IOGP's Competition Law Guidelines
(November 2014).

 Quality requirements for Welding

Introduction

The purpose of this quality requirements specification (QRS) is to define quality management requirements for
welding in accordance with API Recommended Practice 582 Welding Guidelines for the Chemical, Oil, and
Gas Industries for application in the petroleum and natural gas industries.

The QRS includes definition of a conformity assessment system (CAS) which specifies standardized customer
interventions against quality management activities at four different levels. The applicable CAS level is
specified by the customer in the equipment datasheet or purchase order.

This QRS shall be used in conjunction with the supplementary requirements specification (IOGP S-705), the
information requirements specification (IOGP S-705L) and the datasheet (IOGP S-705D) which together
comprise the full set of specification documents. The introduction section in the supplementary requirements
specification provides further information on the purpose of each of these documents and the order of
precedence for their use.

3 Terms and Definitions

3.1 Conformity assessment

Demonstration that requirements relating to a product, process, system, person or body are fulfilled.

NOTE 1 Conformity assessment (or assessment) includes but is not limited to review, inspection, verification and
validation activities.

NOTE 2 Assessment activities may be undertaken at a supplier/sub-supplier’s premises, virtually by video link, desktop
sharing, etc. or by review of information formally submitted for acceptance or for information.

3.2 Conformity assessment system (CAS)

Systems providing different levels of assessment of the supplier’s control activities by the purchaser (second
party) or independent body (third party) based on evaluation of the supplier’s capability to conform to the
product or service specification and obligatory requirements.

NOTE CAS A reflects the highest risk and associated extent of verification. CAS D is the lowest.

3.3 Conformity assessment - hold point

The point in the chain of activities beyond which an activity shall not proceed without the approval of the
purchaser or purchaser's representative.

3.4 Conformity assessment - witness point

The point in the chain of activities that the supplier shall notify the purchaser or purchaser's representative
before proceeding. The operation or process may proceed without witness if the purchaser does not attend
after the agreed notice period.

3.5 Conformity assessment - surveillance

Observation, monitoring or review by the purchaser or purchaser's representative of an activity, operation,

process, product or associated information.

3.6 Conformity assessment - review

Review of the supplier’s information to verify conformance to requirements.

NOTE Information review requirements are managed on a surveillance basis and as such do not impose schedule
constraints, unless specified as hold points in Annex A or as conditions specified in the associated IRS.

5 Quality requirements

5.1 Quality management system

The supplier shall demonstrate that the quality management arrangements established for the supply of
products and services conform to ISO 9001, API Specification Q1 or an equivalent quality management system
standard agreed with the purchaser.

5.2 Conformance assessment

5.2.1

Quality and inspection plans and test plans developed as outputs to operational planning and control for the
products and services shall define the specific controls to be implemented by the supplier and when applicable,
their sub-suppliers, to ensure conformance with the specified requirements.

5.2.2

Controls shall address both internally and externally sourced processes products and services.

5.2.3

Quality plans and inspection plans and test plans shall include provision for the purchaser conformity
assessment system (CAS) as specified in the data sheet; see Annex A.

5.2.4

Supplier performance in meeting the requirements will be routinely assessed during execution of the scope
and where appropriate, corrective action requested and conformity assessment activities increased or
decreased consistent with criticality and risk.

NOTE 1 For industrial well proven solutions CAS level D is specified unless risk assessment indicates that a more
stringent CAS level is required.

Explanatory notes:
A. “2.2” Test Report - A document in which the vendor declares that the products supplied are in compliance
with the requirements of the PO, and in which test results are supplied based on non-specific inspection
and testing.
B. “3.1” Inspection Certificate - A document with test results based on specific inspection and testing, issued
by the vendor and validated by the vendor’s authorised inspection representative independent of the
manufacturing department.
C. “3.2” Inspection Certificate - A document prepared by both the vendor’s authorised inspection
representative, independent of the manufacturing department, and either the purchaser nominated
representative or the inspector designated by the regulations in which they declare that the products
supplied are in compliance with the requirements of the order and for which test results are supplied.
D. Additionally, purchaser has specified that all material product testing associated with “3.2” Inspection
Certificates be performed in the presence of either a purchaser nominated representative or the inspector
designated by the regulations, and the resultant test report stamped as “Witnessed”. Failure to adhere to
this requirement may lead to rejection of all material(s) being qualified for production.
E. Level I - Full Traceability - Material is uniquely identified and its history tracked from manufacture through
stockist (where applicable) to vendor and to actual position on the equipment with specific location defined
on a material placement record. (The traceability to a specific location only applies to skids, packaged
equipment, not to bulks)
F. Level II - Type Traceability - vendor maintains a system to identify material throughout manufacture, with
traceability to a material certificate.
G. Level III - Compliance Traceability - vendor maintains a system of traceability that enables a Declaration of
Compliance to be issued.
