Scope of application for verification

This specification may be adopted for the verification of parts of process facilities or selected project phases.

Process facilities typically comprise the following systems:

— process safety functions

— pressure relieving devices

— blowdown and flare system

— HIPPS system

— utility systems

— piping

— pressure vessels (not covered by this SE (service specification))

— passive fire protection

— active fire protection

— HVAC systems

— fire and gas detection systems

— shutdown systems

— process equipment

— hazardous area classification.

which are applied in various configurations and tailored to each particular project’s specific requirements.

This specification describes the principles of a levelled verification involvement. These principles may be applied both for planning of any need or obligations for independent external verification (third party) as well as internal company verification (second party).
