deficiencies noted shall be immediately rectified by CONTRACTOR.
In order to ensure all the design and specification areas are addressed and meet the
requirements of the PROJECT, CONTRACTOR will be required, after the award of
the AGREEMENT to carry out full criticality assessment exercises on every discipline
area and/or system to enable individual quality programs to be developed.
This will involve development of a procedure to evaluate the risk and consequence of
structure, containment, and equipment or material failure to personnel safety, the
environment and continuous operational availability of the facility.
It shall also take into account, with documentation, new and special manufacturing
considerations, difficulties and requirements for any special controls.
The results of the assessment shall be used to develop the minimum quality
assurance and quality control requirements to be applied during Engineering,
Procurement and Construction activities for each level of criticality.
It should be noted that this may involve higher levels of control above standard code
requirements in high criticality areas and may involve upgrading details from other
areas of the standard project conditions, EXHIBITS, etc.

witness or hold point and confirmation of the stage at least forty eight (48) hours prior
to the actual activity. Any delays due to late notification or late cancellation shall be
borne by CONTRACTOR.
The provisions in this ANNEX, and generally throughout Attachments 001 and 002,
apply equally to any THIRD PARTY inspection body that CONTRACTOR may
appoint to carry out inspections on his behalf. If such is the case a procedure shall
be prepared to detail the responsibilities of THIRD PARTY inspection body and
interfaces with CONTRACTOR. This procedure shall be submitted to CLIENT. Any
such employment of a THIRD PARTY inspection body by CONTRACTOR is
separate and distinct from CLIENT employed THIRD PARTY QA/QC Surveillance.
CONTRACTOR shall put in place a release certificate scheme which identifies all
documents that are approved, there are no outstanding technical queries, non-
conformances or concessions not fully closed out and that the release inspector is
fully aware of the final document status.
The release certificate shall be used as the trigger to allow the inspector to release
the materials and equipment if he finds the final inspection acceptable and a copy of
this certificate shall be forwarded to CLIENT before release.
6.0 CONSTRUCTION QC
All activities, except simple activities as agreed upon by the PARTIES, shall be
clearly defined in the procedures and method statement detailing the technical and
actual Scope of work, how it will be performed, where it will be performed, who is

referencing the appropriate ITP, procedure and certification so that the QC status can
be continually monitored as work progresses.
CLIENT shall be provided with a weekly update of all QC problems on SITE together
with a regular and brief description of all non-conformances issued. Qualitative as
well as quantitative (schedule impacting) mitigation actions shall be defined and
followed up upon.
As part of their own Quality System, CLIENT will operate their own non-conformance
reporting to CONTRACTOR. On receipt of CLIENT non-conformance reports,
CONTRACTOR shall prepare a corrective action plan within three (3) days. Where
such non-conformances are identified as major, the affected work shall be
suspended.
Rev.A1 - Where CLIENT has concerns over the quality of the WORK, it shall have
the right to re-test. Where work is covered over, the re-test shall include removal of
covering. No work shall be covered without the accepted procedures and ITPs being
followed, therefore MECHANICAL COMPLETION shall not be confirmed until all QC
activities are signed off.
CONTRACTOR shall use its own independent inspectors and not be reliant on
CLIENT’S third party inspectors. CONTRACTOR shall provide adequate QA/QC staff
to identify discrepancies. Large numbers of SITE discrepancies and punch-list items
raised by CLIENT is an indication of inadequate CONTRACTOR QA/QC coverage.
In such a case, it is up to the CLIENT to decide to exchange CONTRACTOR
personnel immediately with more, CLIENT accepted, qualified personnel.
