The activity developed by PETROBRAS via its inspection entities or by companies contracted
by PETROBRAS, aiming the verification of conformity of the manufactured products according
to the contractual documents, on the organization plant.
2.2 Type of Inspection

It establishes the participation level of the PETROBRAS inspection in the follow-up of the
manufacturing process of the material. “A” and “B” type inspections have characteristics of
final inspection with emphasis in the finished product. Inspections “C” and ”AEF” types,
besides the follow-up of final events, verify the manufacturing process of the organization,
defining (or not) mandatory hold points along the manufacturing.
2.3 Hold Point

Is the inspection event, in the organization manufacturing cycle, which requires analysis,
verification or witnessing of the PETROBRAS inspection, and must be fulfilled for the
manufacturing process to continue. Hold points are defined in the contractual documents of
the Purchase and Service Orders (PCSs), in the Inspection Requirements or by the
PETROBRAs inspection when analyzing the Organization Inspection and Tests Plan.
2.4 Witness Point

Is the inspection event, in the organization manufacturing cycle, in which the organization
will notify the PETROBRAS inspection within contractual terms, aiming the analysis,
verification or witnessing of events agreed in the Inspection and Tests Plan (PIT), without
interruption of the manufacturing process.
2.5 Inspection "A"

Inspection mode characterized mainly by not existence of necessity of witnessing of final
testing by the PETROBRAS inspection, due to the reliability of the manufacturing process
and/or low complexity of the material to be supplied. At least the following verifications must
be executed, relative to components defined as critical:
Page 7 of 30
 Analysis of the documentation generated in the manufacturing cycle: raw material
certificates, registers of examinations and tests (e.g. visual and dimensional
inspection, hardness verification, non-destructive testing, integrity testing, functional
testing, welding operations, heat treatment, painting and coating), certificates of
calibration of instruments and equipment, welding and painting documentation, non-
compliance reports (NCRs), as well as other applicable documents;
 Final visual and dimensional inspection;
 Identification and packaging of the material.
2.6 Inspection type "B"

Inspection mode where at least the following verifications must be executed, applicable to
components defined as critical:
 Analysis of the documentation generated in the manufacturing cycle: raw material

certificates, registers of examinations and tests (e.g. visual and dimensional
inspection, hardness verification, non-destructive testing, integrity testing, functional
testing, welding operations, heat treatment, painting and coating), certificates of
calibration of instruments and equipment, welding and painting documentation, non-
compliance reports (NCRs), as well as other applicable documents;
 Final visual and dimensional inspection;
 Hardness verification;
 Follow-up of hydrostatic and/or pneumatic testing, where applicable;
 Monitoring of functional tests;
 Verificationlist of the assemblies.
2.7 – “C” or “AEF” type Inspection
The following verifications must be executed to the components defined as critical by the
Engineering. At PETROBRAS discretion, other components or metallic structures may be
subject to similar control.
2.7.1 – Manufacturing Inspection
Must be executed by the follow-up of the inspection activities via process evaluations and
complemented with HP or WP, previously defined in the approved Inspection and Test Plan
(PIT). It is to PETROBRAS Inspection to define the proper inspection pattern based on results
attained in the inspection follow-up, and may use a pattern or combine process evaluations
with HP/WP, giving more emphasis on evaluations of HP or WP inspections, according to
necessity or defined strategy.
2.7.2 Inspection Process Evaluation
The PETROBRAS Inspection, at any time in the manufacturing process, may evaluate the
effectiveness of the Quality System of the Organization or its subcontractor, according to this
Inspection Requirements, as well as standards for quality management systems applicable,
procedures of the Organization API standards and PETROBRAS contract documents. So that
these evaluations are carried out, is essential that the organization provide a minimal
structure, as follows:
Page 8 of 30
a) issue a weekly schedule, until the Thursday preceding the week in which the inspection
activities will be executed, reporting the events which must be verified;
b) Provide a Single-Point, which must be available to perform as a facilitator, so that a proper

interface with the inspection exists and to make available all necessary documentation in a
timely manner, to achieve the event of inspection;
c) Issue the non-compliance in cases where deviations are found, and those will be part of
the pending control of the PETROBRAS inspection, for monitoring the corrective actions. At
the discretion of the PETROBRAS inspection, other inspection documents may be issued;
d) Must prepare at every fifteen days a mapping of the non-compliances issued, referencing
the areas, problems encountered as well as registers generated, in order to provide to the
PETROBRAS inspection the knowledge of the critical points in the process, and thus allow a
better targeting and planning of the inspection activities.

3.16.1 Treatment of Non-Compliances
The organization must control and treat any non-compliance of its industrial line and national
and international sub-suppliers, according to their specific procedure, complying with the
following PETROBRAS requirements:
a) Non-compliances requiring approval in real time: deviations of standardized dimensions,

repair by welding not foreseen in the project, repair by use of engineering practices not
foreseen by the project (e.g., bushing, dimensional repairs by metallization using hard
chromium or nickel plating), changes of project on qualified equipment (e.g. swivel, actuators
and valves), repetitive leaks during component testing, breakage or deformation of
components during assembly and testing and not-compliances with “use as is” evaluation on
requirements established in contracts. The inspector agency, if deemed necessary, may get
support from CENPES or user, for their analysis;
b) Non-compliances requiring knowledge: other nonconformities not covered in the item

above must be submitted to the inspector agency, after the evaluation of the Engineering, for
process monitoring;
c) Any non-compliance must present an analysis of the deviation and technical report
substantiated by the Engineering of the Organization;
d) The Organization must demonstrate corrective actions for non-compliance issued and
provide mechanisms for evidence of its effectiveness;
e) The organization must perform statistical control of nonconformities generated in the

process and provide to PETROBRAS, when requested;
f) In the evaluation of non-compliances where weld repairs are necessary, the following
issues must be addressed: NDTs, material-specific requirements, heat treatment necessity,
applicable inspections, welding procedures and other applicable aspects. These non-
conformities must be submitted for approval of PETROBRAS inspection, so that items to be
witnessed by them are marked.
3.17 Normative and Standardized Dimensions Deviations
All deviations of standardized dimensions must be formally approved by the contract

management from PETROBRAS. The PETROBRAS Inspection (see definition in item 2 of this
Requirement) does not have powers and responsibilities on the acceptance of concessions in
deviations of standardized dimensions as well as any legal or contractual deviation, it is
competence of the Organization to rework the deviations for the condition of the project. For
those cases when the organization decides to request concessions, it must be submitted via
the Contract Management, accompanied with the following technical dossier:
 Report of non-compliance of the Organization and of the Resident Inspection (if

applicable);
 Analysis of Engineering, justifying with analytical calculation report the possibility of
use with the deviation relative to the non-compliance, as well as the deviation from
the safety factor specified in the contract and manufacturing standards;
 Survey of operational risk in the condition of the deviation being analyzed;
 Optional Failure Tree for this condition;
 Survey of indemnification against the cost of the contract;
 Survey of the scope of the deviation compared to the PCSs in backlog or similar
applications.
Page 30 of 30
Note:
a) This technical dossier must be included in the Equipment Data Book and Certificate of
Compliance.
b) It is recommended that the organization establishes a procedure for management of this

practice, to be approved by PETROBRAS.
3.18 Clean Room for Assembly, Disassembly, Test of Actuators, SCMs and equipment
with required cleanliness class
The Organization must have a clean room for assembly, disassembly and test of equipment
with required cleanliness class, among which we cite, as example, valves and actuators,
hydraulic systems for cleaning and others. The level at which these particles need to be
removed depends on the specific needs of each equipment or component to be manufactured
in compliance with cleanliness defined in the ETs, RMs and contractual documentation which
compose the degree of operability of these.
The organization must classify and certify the clean room in compliance with ISO 14644-1
(formerly Federal Standard 209 E), which establishes the classification levels of cleanliness,
being suggested the following configuration: Entrance Hall, Laboratory, Semi-Clean Room and
Clean Room, however, as a complimentary requirement at least one level specified below.
Dimensions of each room depend on the manufacturing needs of each supplier, however, it is
noteworthy that the classification of the room is based on the number of particles per m³. The
human presence and the intensity of activities are the major generators of contamination of a
controlled environment, then it follows that the larger the environment, more activities can
be executed simultaneously, since the dispersal capacity of the room.
It will be mandatory for the organization to issue a a procedure or work instruction with the
conditions of operation of the clean room, where the minimum requirements that must be
controlled must be observed when the room is in operation, among which we cite the
following examples: frequency of calibration of the room, air conditioning, positive pressure,
control of relative humidity, temperature control, tools utilization control and equipment of
specific use of the room, including the use of special clothing, training for service members
and maintenance and cleaning.
Note: If there is a need for welding of wires of SEM with the DCVs and sensors of the SCM,
this activity must be performed with limited access in a room with humidity control,
temperature and positive pressure (ISO 13628-6, item 5.1.2.5).
319 Table of minimal PSL Classification of Assemblies and Sub-Assemblies
When not specified in the contract documents, the following tables define the quality
requirements for components, assemblies and sub assemblies. Any PSL rating lower than that
shown in this table must be approved by PETROBRAS.
Components not included in the table below must be defined by the Engineering of the
Organization in the classification of API6A, API17D, if applicable, considering the operating
parameters as well as the quality level required for the equipment (see Appendix F of API 6A
20th Ed. Oct2010, Effective date April 2011). This classification must be submitted for
analysis of PETROBRAS.

4.1 Circulation of persons
Page 31 of 30
In areas where pressurized hoses exist, safety must be ensured if the circulation of people is
necessary.
4.2 Hydrostatic Test and with Gas
The test with gas requires special care, and the presence of the safety technician of the
Organization must be requested, before its start.
It is accepted and recommended the use of volume reducers in tests involving a large volume
of gas.
The equipment must provide conditions for removal of all liquid fluid from the cavity to be
tested. The removal of liquid by flowing gas in the system will not be allowed, if the draining
port is not located at the bottom of the cavity, since this process does not ensure the
complete removal of the liquid.
4.3 Disposal of Waste
Disposal of waste must follow local laws.
5 DATA BOOK
When required by contract, the Organization must issue a Data Book of the products,
containing at least the following items:
