12.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE
Quality Control Systems ISO 9001 ‘Quality Management Systems – Requirements’
shall be adopted by the SUPPLIER throughout the various phases of the project
(Engineering, Construction and Inspections).
The SUPPLIER, as part of their own ‘Quality Management System’ shall be
expected to demonstrate the QA competence of any Sub-SUPPLIER’s. The
COMPANY reserves the right to require the SUPPLIER to implement additional
controls, where a satisfactory level of competence cannot be demonstrated.
The COMPANY reserves the right to visit the premises of the SUPPLIER and any
Sub-SUPPLIER for the purpose of undertaking ‘Quality Audits’ relating to the supply
of equipment and services. Prior notice of five working days shall be given to the
SUPPLIER of any such audits. Copies of audit reports shall be forwarded to the
SUPPLIER on completion of the audit. Any findings resulting from such audits shall
necessitate the implementation of appropriate corrective actions based on a time
scale to be agreed with the COMPANY.
All work must be undertaken in accordance with laws, statutory requirements &
regulations and industry/COMPANY Health Safety & Environmental practices. All
construction work shall be undertaken in a manner such as to eliminate risk so far as
is reasonably practicable, to the health and safety of personnel carrying out the work
and to others who may be affected by the work, including the public. To achieve this
risk assessment must be undertaken and safety precautions must be put in place
and followed in practice. All personnel carrying out the work must be equipped with
appropriate personnel protective equipment such as safety helmets, safety gloves,
safety goggles, overalls and safety boots etc.
12.1 Certification & Material Traceability

Material traceability is required to ensure that the components of equipment can be
identified against material certificates issued by the original SUPPLIERs. The
SUPPLIER shall be responsible for ensuring that their material control system is
operating in such a manner that all component materials are traceable to their
relevant certificates.
Material certificates shall be to the EN 10204 standard definitions (or equivalent),
and unless otherwise specified, the certificates supplied by the SUPPLIER and their
sub-SUPPLIERs shall be in accordance as follow:
• Pressure parts: 3.1
• All other parts: 2.2
Each material / equipment shall be accompanied by the original or copies of each
relevant certificate. Certification certificates shall be of a readable quality.
Only original certificates or copies verified by the COMPANY or his appointed
representative or a recognised independent third party or the COMPANY QA
department representative shall be accepted.

Calculation method for nozzle sizes not listed:

Force Allowable Stress Fs = 1.4 (MPa)
Moment Allowable Stress Ms = 20.7 (MPa)
Metal Area $P ʌ['o2 - Di2) / 4 (mm2)
Section modulus = ʌ['o4 - Di4) / (32 x Do) (mm3)
Allowable resultant Force FR = Fs x Am (N)
Allowable Axial Force FA = 0.5 x FR (N)
Allowable Transverse Forces FB and FC = 0.6124 x FR (N)
Allowable Resultant Moment MR = MS X Z X 10-3 (Nm)
Allowable Axial Moment MA = 0.7071 X MR (Nm)
Allowable Bending Moment MB and MC = 0.5 MR (Nm)
