Foreword
PETROBRAS technical standards are prepared by Working Groups – GTs
(consisting of PETROBRAS specialists and PETROBRAS Subsidiaries specialists), are commented by Local
Representatives (representatives of the Industrial Units, Engineering Projects, Technical Divisions and
PETROBRAS Subsidiaries), are approved by Responsible Subcommittees SCs (consisting of specialists
belonging to the same speciality, representing the various PETROBRAS Departments and PETROBRAS
Subsidiaries), and approved by CONTEC General Assembly (consisting of representatives of the
Superintendencies of the PETROBRAS Departments and PETROBRAS Subsidiaries that use PETROBRAS
technical standards). A PETROBRAS technical standard is subjected to revision at any time by the Responsible
Subcommittee and must be reviewed every five years to be revalidated, revised or cancelled. PETROBRAS
technical standards are prepared in accordance with standard PETROBRAS N -1. For complete information
