1 Introduction
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to describe the methods to be used by purchasers during
the ‗Request for Proposal‘ stage to determine the criticality rating of:
Equipment
Materials
Vendors‘ pre-assessment/assessment requirements for registration in PDO PGSC
list.
Once the criticality rating has been determined by the purchaser, the quality assurance
team shall apply the criticality rating to determine the level of inspection that will be
required during assessment, manufacturing, construction or installation activities.
(Note: Purchaser is PDO, in-case of direct procurement from Vendors or its Contactors).
1.2 Scope
This procedure applies to all procured items, equipment and/or materials which are
sourced for PDO‘s assets/projects (in alignment with approved PDO PGSC listing) and for
evaluating vendors prior to assessment and inclusion in PGSC listing.
Standard procured items, equipment and/or materials identified as not requiring
formal criticality assessment shall be endorsed by the relevant CFDH.
1.3 Objective
The objective of this procedure is to formalize and standardize a risk based approach to
the criticality rating process.

1.8 Abbreviations
2.1 General
The Criticality Rating Data Sheet (see Appendix A of this document) details the criteria to
be considered by the Originating Engineer when determining criticality ratings at the design
stage of equipment and/or materials.
Each criticality category is subdivided into four levels of severity, with appropriate rating
allocation ranges from 1 to 4. All categories shall be completed by the responsible persons
as identified in section 2.2 below.
The criticality rating for equipment and/or materials shall be derived by determining and
assessing the critical activities (see section 3.1 Appendix A) against the total score as
follows:
Enter the overall criticality rating value (1, 2, 3 or 4) in the ―Criticality Rating‖ space on the
Criticality Rating Data Sheet.
Note: An individual identified and assessed high RISK impact may justify additional
assurance requirements, which if required shall be documented.
Rush orders,
Bulk orders,
Re-supply (if previous evaluation not completed).
Any variance to the requirements of this procedure shall be approved by the relevant
CFDH in-line with PR-1247 - Project Change Control & Standards Variance Procedure.
Refer PR-1866 Quality Audit Procedure for the process requirements for planning,
scheduling, conducting, & reporting quality audits, including, where applicable, audit follow-
up activities, the selection of appropriate audit team members and maintenance of records.
