and available prior to the commencement of work. RLL shall affirm its capability to meet all
requirements and shall ensure adequate planning of all quality related activities.
The review of requirements is carried out by Asst. Manager Marketing to verify that the work
content is within its capability to perform, that sufficient resources are available to achieve
delivery schedules and that the documentation is clear and unambiguous. RLL shall ensure that
any variations in changes, cost, program and schedule are brought to the notice of customer.
2.2 REVIEW OF REQUIREMENTS:
Location, accessibility and sequence of welds, including accessibility for inspection and for
non destructive testing.
The specification of welding procedures, non destructive testing procedures and heat
treatment procedures.
The approach to be used for the qualification of welding procedures.
Joint location with relation to the design requirements.
Requirements for weld performance class.
The qualification of welders/welding operators
Selection, identification and / or traceability ( e.g. for materials, welds)
Quality control requirements, including any involvement of an inspection body.
Inspection and testing.
Sub contracting.
Other welding requirements, eg. Batch testing of consumables, ferrite content of
weld metal, ageing, hydrogen content, permanent backing, surface finish, weld
profile.
Use of special methods ( e.g to achieve full penetration without backing when
welded from one side only)
Dimensions and details of joint preparation and completed weld.
Welds which are to be made in the RLL shop floor.
Environmental conditions (temperature)
Enquiry No/Reference No :
Aspects to be considered,
a) The product standard to b used, together with any supplementary requirements;
b) Statutory and regulatory requirements;
c) Any additional requirement determined by the manufacture;
d) The capability of the manufacturer to meet the prescribed requirement.
Technical review
Technical requirements to be considered,
Some of the approved sub-contractors by RLL are listed in annexure R5 for various services
or activities required.
Welding coordination personnel of RLL shall plan all welding related activities as per
customer specification and drgs. He shall be assisted a suitable deputy welding
coordinators/Welding supervisor. They shall demonstrate adequate technical knowledge to
enable all tasks assigned to be performed satisfactorily.
The coordinators having responsibility for quality activities shall have sufficient authority to
enable any necessary action to be taken.
Welding coordination personnel shall introduce all possible types of welding fixtures to
minimize distortion during welding. Sequence the process of weld to see that the job does
not get over heated. Their main responsibility is to ensure that the proper execution of plan
at ground level. The sequence of weld and control of activities in shop floor shall be
discussed amongst supervisors in the preliminary stages before the commencement of any
project. He has to analyze the drawing before giving it for production (for welding), assign
NDT stops. First sample prepared has to be approved by the welding coordinator. He shall
be responsible to track the continuity of welders working regularly. Appropriate welders
shall be selected for jobs that require special attention by looking at their past records and
qualification certificates. Based on their track records, he shall decide the continuity of
welders to execute the jobs.
