HANDLING

RECEIVING MATERIALS REQUIRING MTRs AND TRACEABILITY

Materials requiring Manufacturer’s Test Reports and Traceability (see Paragraph 11.1) shall be placed in a

receiving hold area, separated from all other materials, in order to proceed with traceability check. This

separation shall be maintained throughout all receiving and dispensing activities and the area shall be

identified with a clear tagging.

The responsible receiving agent shall check for receipt of accepted certification corresponding to the materials

received. Materials without the required certification shall remain in the initial receiving hold areas until the

necessary accepted certification is received.

Materials with accepted certification on hand shall be examined by the responsible receiving agent, to verify

that traceable heat number matches the accepted certification. Acceptable materials shall be placed in

receiving release areas ready for fabrication.

9.2

RECEIVING MATERIALS REQUIRING MTRs ONLY

Materials requiring Manufacturer’s Test Reports only (see Paragraph 11.2) shall be placed in receiving

release areas ready for fabrication.

REJECTED MATERIALS

Materials rejected at the fabrication shop or job site with a nonconforming certificate shall be identified by

marking or tagging and segregated from acceptable material, placed in special hold areas and subsequently

processed similarly as other non-conformances (see Paragraph 10.3).

The Manufacturer/Supplier, shop Fabricator, or field Fabricator, as applicable, shall submit a non-

conformance report (NCR) per the project quality procedures.

If an item from a representative sample is rejected, the following additional testing shall be carried out:

a) Examine 100 % of the remaining components of the lot from which the sample was taken;

b) Examine 100 % of

the same component

types

from

the next delivery

from

the same

Manufacturer/Supplier;

c) Return the level of examination to the originally specified level if examination of the next lot does not

identify any similar non-conformance.

MTR REVIEW - SCOPE

Manufacturer’s Test Reports (MTRs) shall be reviewed by CONTRACTOR and COMPANYapproved

inspector(s) at the MANUFACTURER’S facility prior to shipment.

Subject to COMPANY approval, if review of the documentation at the MANUFACTURER’S facility is not

practical, original or red stamped verified copies of the MTR shall be reviewed by CONTRACTOR and

COMPANY approved inspector(s), prior to shipment from the MANUFACTURER’S facility.

10.2

MTR REVIEW - PROCEDURE

All MTRs shall be reviewed for compliance. Test reports indicating chemical analysis and mechanical

properties shall be verified as complying with the required specifications. Any materials with nonconforming

MTRs shall not be allowed to ship from the MANUFACTURER pending resolution of the nonconformance.

▪ MTRs that have been verified as complete and correct shall be stamped “ACCEPTED”. The stamp

shall also include the reviewer’s name, discipline and date of review.

▪ MTRs for materials requiring traceability shall also be stamped “TRACEABILITY REQUIRED”.

▪ Each MTR which reviewed shall be stamped, stamping on the cover sheet or MTRs list only is not accepted. The number of MTRs per each Po. shall be recorded. A list of MTRs shall submit with the MTRs and to be review and stamped by the manufacturer.

NONCONFORMING MTRS OR CERTIFICATION

10.3.1

MANUFACTURER’S Test Reports or Certification is nonconforming and unacceptable when

any of the following conditions exist:

▪ Missing data

▪

▪

Incorrect data

Illegible documents

▪ Documents with pertinent data “cut off” in the course of copying

10.3.2

Resolved Non-conformances

All technical non-conformances shall be resolved as specified in Paragraphs 4.0 and 5.0.

For nontechnical corrections to the documents concerning the Purchase Order number, item or quantity,

a notification (without further documentation) is acceptable, provided the addition or correction has been

verified with the MANUFACTURER.

When a nonconformance has been satisfactorily resolved, the documents, including certifications, shall

be handled the same as accepted certifications.

10.3.3

Unresolved Non-conformances

When the non-conformance cannot be resolved, the certification documents shall be marked “non-

conforming” and the MANUFACTURER shall be notified of the non-conformance.

MATERIAL TRACEABILITY

TRACEABILITY REQUIREMENTS

This section is applicable only for materials listed in Paragraph 11.1.

In order to maintain traceability continuity of piping components, the following are required upon receipt of

materials and during fabrication.

12.1.1 Marking - General

Unique permanent marking of material for total traceability, such as an identification or heat number that can

be traced back to the Material Test Report, material specification/designation, and wall thickness/schedule

are required. Marking shall be accomplished by the use of “low stress” steel die stamps, producing a round

bottom impression or by electro etching. Electro etching may be done by either the stylus or chemical method

(chemicals shall not contain chlorides, sulfur or nitrogen compounds). Material with a nominal wall thickness

of 5.1 mm (0.200”) or less shall be electro etch marked. The depth of marks shall not infringe on minimum

wall thickness determined from the project design basis, data sheets, and the applicable material

specifications and standards.

Marking shall be applied such that abrasions and oxidation encountered during shipping, storing, handling,

fabrication and installation will not obliterate the identifying marks. Should fabrication or installation

operations (examples: welding, grinding and cutting) obliterate the heat number; the part of piece shall be re-

marked accordingly.

12.1.2 Marking - Pipe

In order to maintain traceable continuity, each length of pipe is required to be marked by “low stress” die

stamping or electro etching approximately 300 mm

from

the end of

the pipe by

the

MANUFACTURER/VENDOR as required by the applicable specifications.

Shop and field receiving authorized personnel shall verify that all pipes are properly identified. Unidentified

materials shall be considered as “scrap” until such time that physical and chemical tests can affirm material

composition, CONTRACTOR shall develop and establish a procedure of re-certification the unidentified

“scrap” materials.

12.1.3 Marking - Pipe/Fittings which have been cut

Markings on material that is subsequently cut into smaller pieces (examples: pipe and odd angle elbows)

shall be transferred to each cut piece immediately in order to maintain traceable continuity. Transfer of

marking to be done by authorized personnel only.

12.1.4 Drawing Requirements

Heat numbers and welder’s identification shall be transferred to:

▪ Shop orthographic or pipe spool drawings after shop fabrication.

▪

Isometric drawings (or pipe rack drawings if there are no isometric drawings) after field fabrication.

12.2

SHOP CONTINUITY OF TRACEABILITY

12.2.1 The necessary traceable identification assignment of materials to production drawings may occur

before or after release of drawings for fabrication. In any case Identification Assignment Records shall be

implemented and maintained throughout the duration/performance of this PROJECT (refer to Paragraph

12.1).

12.2.2 After review and acceptance by CONTRACTOR’s Inspection Engineer, the MANUFACTURER/

VENDOR/ SUPPLIER shall transmit to CONTRACTOR’s Technical Document Control, a copy of “accepted”

drawing and certification documents for each fabricated spool piece on the same day of shipment. Another

copy of the documents shall accompany the shipment

12.3

FIELD CONTINUITY OF TRACEABILITY

The necessary traceable identification assignment of materials to production drawings may occur before or

after release of drawings for field fabrication, assembly or installation. In any case identification assignment

records shall be implemented and maintained throughout the performance of this PROJECT (refer to

Paragraph 12.1).
