1. Purpose
This procedure was developed for general topside facility inspection as well as risk
procedure also can be used for Migas recertification. It was intended to ensure that all
inspections are carried out to the correct standards, and in a safety and uniform manner.
2. Scope
This procedure applies to pressure equipment constructed in accordance with the API /
ASME codes, and other recognized pressure vessel codes. The procedure is applicable
to both new pressure vessels and those already placed in service. The pressure
