| Abstract |
This report discusses the best practice for the application of Risk Based Inspection (RBI) for the inspection of pressure equipment and systems that are subject to the requirements for in-service examination under the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 (PSSR). It can also apply to equipment and systems containing hazardous materials that are inspected as a means to comply with the Control of Major Accident Hazards Regulations (COMAH, see CIS 00-24). The report considers the application, data requirements, team competences, inspection plan (including NDT techniques and reliability) and overall management of the RBI process. An audit tool is given in the Appendices order to assist the evaluation the RBI process. This contains a flow diagram followed by a series of questions and a commentary relating to each stage, outlining the proposed best practice. |
