ISO 19001 Guidelines for Quality Management Systems

Auditing

4 Definitions and Acronyms

Quality System: Organizational structure, procedures and processes are resources

needed to implement quality management.

Mandatory Hold Point: An inspection point, defined in an appropriate document, beyond which an activity must not proceed without the approval of a designated

organization or authority.

Witness Point: An inspection point, defined in an appropriate document, beyond

which an activity can proceed after notifying the designated organization or authority.

Review Point: A review point, defined in an appropriate document, is the point atwhich a work activity cannot proceed without first ensuring the review and approval of

applicable documents or personnel qualifications by a designated organization or

authority.

Quality Assurance (QA): All the planned and systematic activities implemented

within the quality system, and demonstrated as needed, to provide adequate confidencethat an entity will fulfill requirements for quality.

Quality Control (QC): The operational techniques and activities that are used to fulfill

requirements for quality.

Quality Control Procedure (QCP): A QCP is a documented procedure detailing the processes necessary to complete a specific work activity.

PIM: Pre-Inspection Meeting

Inspection & Test Plan (ITP): An ITP is a document based on the detailed

manufacturing, fabrication and, construction program and identifies each processdescription. The ITP will set out related sequence of activities to be inspected,

examined and tested, and includes the following:

1) Lists the relevant approved procedures for a particular material, component,

assembly, and/or, type of work.

2) Identification of requirements for documents and acceptance criteria as applicable.

3) Roles and responsibilities of all involved parties.

5 Instructions

5.1 Contractor Purchase Requisition

5.1.1 Purchase requisition originators shall identify the applicable fabrication& inspection requirements. The minimum inspection requirements

stated in approved requisition shall be reflected in purchase orders.

5.1.2 Purchase requisition originators may also modify the content of a codedSA-175 form for certain purchase orders provided the following

procedure is followed:

5.1.2.1 If the modification is to delete or modify an inspection activity

specified in Mandatory Saudi Aramco Engineering

Requirements, a waiver shall be duly obtained as per SAEP-302 against applicable standards before altering the coded SA-175

form.

5.1.2.2 If the modification is to delete or add an inspection activity notexplicitly stated in Mandatory Saudi Aramco Engineering

Requirements such as witnessed tests, certification requirements

etc., which are indicated in the coded SA-175 form, concurrenceshall be obtained from the Saudi Aramco inspection

representative (SAIR) before altering the SA-175 form.

5.2 Inspection and Test Plan

5.2.1 The vendor and/or sub-vendors shall prepare detailed ITP’s for allassigned equipment and materials in accordance with all relevant Saudi

Aramco inspection forms (SA 175 Forms), Schedule Q and purchase

orders.

5.2.2 ITP shall provide:-

SA-175 form to cover the inspection and testing of the assembled

packaged and skid mounted equipment.

5.4 Minimum Inspection Levels

5.4.1 Inspection levels shall be assigned on project Contractor’s materials and

equipment to specify the minimum amount of inspection coverage

deemed necessary by Saudi Aramco to ensure that a product or serviceconforms to specifications at a specific supplier's and/or sub-supplier's

factory or fabrication site.

5.4.2 The following system of coding the level of planned inspections shall beused to define the inspection requirements:

Level 0: Documentation requirements only; no vendor inspection

required.

Level 1: Only final inspection is required prior to shipping.

Level 2: Includes pre-inspection meetings, one or moreunspecified “in progress” surveillance visit/s, all witnessand hold points, final inspection, and release for

shipment.

Level 3: Includes pre-inspection meetings, one or more

unspecified “in progress” surveillance visits, all witness

and hold points, final inspection, and release forshipment. Inspections shall be on a regular basis (daily,

weekly or bi-weekly).

Level 4: Resident inspector continually monitoring the work.

5.4.3 Minimum inspection levels for project Contractor’s materials andequipment are indicated in Appendices A and B of this procedure.

5.4.4 VID provides quality monitoring and inspection support for projects in

accordance with approved ITP. SAIR will determine which purchase

orders and vendor activities to be monitored on the basis of the criticality

of the materials/ equipment and past performance of selectedmanufacturers.

5.4.5 Inspection levels might be elevated or lowered by SAIR on case by case

basis, based on criticality of procured materials, performance of

selected manufacture, qualification of Contractor’s inspector,.. etc.

5.4.6 In case of materials/ equipment not listed in below table, the SAIR will

determine the appropriate inspection level.

6 Responsibilities

6.1 SAIR and/or PQM is responsible to verify the assignment of appropriate level of

inspection. He is also responsible to determine the level of inspection for none

listed materials/ equipment.

6.2 Contractor is responsible to propose the proper level of inspection in accordancewith this procedure and/or other contractual documents.

6.3 RIOs are responsible to provide monitoring inspection services when requested

by the SAIR.

6.4 VID Management will insure the timely review and issuance of the revisedversion of this procedure.

6.5 SAIR is responsible to escalating to SAIR’s management any repetitive major

observations from the same vendor for any further actions.

7 Technical Support

For technical support or enquiry regarding this procedure, contact current VID/QMUsupervisor or VID Superintendent.
