systems or structures necessary for a correct operation and maintenance of the supply.
Irrespective of the above-mentioned, the Supplier may propose modifications to these
specifications, which imply improvements in the design. The proposal of these modifications
shall be duly justified and their acceptance shall depend solely on the decision of the
Contractor.

design code. The supplier shall design the tanks considering loads applied in the center of
gravity of the assembly.
All parts in contact with the fluid (body, bottoms, manholes, nozzles, etc.) shall be constructed
with the thickness required by the application code for the specified design conditions plus a
corrosion allowance.
The corrosion allowance shall be added to all the surfaces of the elements in contact with the
fluid, according to the following criteria:
To all the elements subject to pressure.
To all the elements welded in the vessels interior and over each of the surfaces in
contact with the fluid contained in the vessel.
In the two or more body vessels, over each of the sides of the intermediate
bottoms.
To the screwed and dismountable internal elements half the specified over
thickness for corrosion shall be added on each of the surfaces in contact with the
fluid contained in the vessel.
The corrosion allowance shall be 3 mm for steel tanks unless other one is indicated in the
corresponding datasheet.
The calculations shall be verified considering a corrosion thickness equal to zero.
The coatings shall be considered only as corrosion protection and only the base metal shall be
considered to the effect of sustaining efforts.

Moreover, the Supplier must provide all the instruments, components and materials only from
the sub-suppliers previously approved by Contractor.
The Supplier will issue a Quality Control Plan for the supply and carry out an Inspection Points
Programme (IPP). Both documents are subject to approval by Contractor.
The Suppliers Quality Control Plan is a document describing in a chronological manner the list
of operations of manufacturing, controls, tests and final tests to the best of its knowledge and
in accordance with the specific requirements of this Specification.
For those assemblies subcontracted by Supplier to third parties, Supplier shall allocate a fulltime inspector resident in subcontractor facilities.
9.2

approval by Contractor. The purpose of the tests and checks is to verify the compliance with
the indications of the specifications and associated documents.
Contractor or its representatives shall have free access during the manufacturing period to the
Suppliers shop fabricated and facilities, where the construction of the contracted equipment is
carried out, for the purpose of being informed of used work materials, methods and tests.
The Supplier shall give to Contractor all the reasonable help so as to verify that the
construction of the equipment is being carried out in accordance with good practice and in

Inspection plan for equipment shall take into account the specification included in Exhibit 2.
All the instruments and devices used in the equipment tests must undergo appropriate
inspections prior to their use and valid certificates must be available.
The Supplier will agree with the Contractor the number of days in advance for carrying our the
tests. The failure to attend the tests by Contractor or its representatives does not exempt the
Supplier from the responsibilities which may arise from the malfunctioning of the supplied
material.
All expenses derived from the tests shall be paid by the Supplier, as well as the replacement of
parts or materials damaged as a consequence of the tests or transportation to a suitable
laboratory, if necessary.
Once the tests have been carried out and any part of the supplied equipment does not
function in a satisfactory manner or the guaranteed results are not achieved, the Supplier
agrees to replace or modify the defective parts until achieving the desired results.
Similarly, if the values obtained in the tests carried out by an external certification company
exceed the established tolerance ranges, the supply will be penalized or rejected.
For each alteration found with regard to the specified requirements, the Supplier must prepare
an Alteration Report, to be included in the Final Quality Report. Alteration Report shall include
the following:
-
Test identification, name and description.

Reference specification.
Test conditions at the moment of discovering the alteration.
Actions to be carried out to correct the alteration.
Customer comments.
These tests do not exempt the Supplier from its obligations contracted with regard to the
warranties given to the supplied material. The acceptance of the material by Contractor or the
personnel delegated by Contractor, does not exempt the Supplier from its responsibility for the
defects which may appear in the material.
The Supplier shall send the original and four (4) copies of the certificates of all the tests carried
out.
Once the tests have been satisfactorily concluded, the equipment may be sent to site, after
receiving written authorisation from Contractor.
