2.4. Production
Pipe production shall not start without the approval of the Company and until a Pre-
Production Meeting (PPM) has been held between the Company, the Contractor, the
Supplier and the Inspector(s).
Before start of production, mill QA/QC representative accompanied by Inspector(s) shall
check at every production and inspection station, that the relevant working instructions and
procedures are available, complete, conform to the procedures agreed by Company or to
Company specification requirements. A report shall be issued by Supplier, signed by

right to ask the Supplier to increase his quality control program to an appropriate level
and to maintain it until the causes of the defective quality are identified and eliminated.
A corrective action request will be sent by Inspector(s) to Supplier. Production cannot
be acceptable until a response with positive results is accepted by Inspector.

Where above rate attains 15%, the Inspector may require the main production to be
stopped. In such a case Company requires a program of investigation to determine the root
cause(s) of the defective quality. This program will be established in mutual agreement
between Company, Contractor and Supplier. The rest of production shall be put on hold
until result of investigations and Company acceptance.
