Foreword

This specification was prepared under Joint Industry Programme 33 (JIP33) "Standardization of Equipment
Specifications for Procurement" organized by the International Oil & Gas Producers Association (IOGP) with
the support from the World Economic Forum (WEF). Companies from the IOGP membership participated in
developing this specification to leverage and improve industry level standardization for projects globally in the
oil and gas sector. The work has developed a minimized set of supplementary requirements for procurement,
with life cycle cost in mind, resulting in a common and jointly approved specification, building on recognized
industry and/or international standards.

Recent trends in oil and gas projects have demonstrated substantial budget and schedule overruns. The Oil
and Gas Community within the World Economic Forum (WEF) has implemented a Capital Project Complexity
(CPC) initiative which seeks to drive a structural reduction in upstream project costs with a focus on industry-
wide, non-competitive collaboration and standardization. The CPC vision is to standardize specifications for
global procurement for equipment and packages, facilitating improved standardization of major projects across
the globe. JIP33 provides the oil and gas sector with the opportunity to move from internally to externally
focused standardization initiatives and provide step change benefits in the sector's capital projects
performance.

This specification has been developed in consultation with a broad user and supplier base to realize benefits
from standardization and achieve significant project and schedule cost reductions.

The JIP33 work groups performed their activities in accordance with IOGP's Competition Law Guidelines
(November 2014).

 Quality requirements for Actuators for On-Off Valves

Introduction

The purpose of this quality requirements specification (QRS) is to define quality management requirements for
the supply of actuators for on-off valves in accordance with ISO 12490 First Edition, 2011, Petroleum and
natural gas industries - Mechanical integrity and sizing of actuators and mounting kits for pipeline valves for
application in the petroleum and natural gas industries.

The QRS includes definition of a conformity assessment system (CAS) which specifies standardized customer
interventions against quality management activities at four different levels. The applicable CAS level is
specified by the customer in the equipment datasheet or purchase order.

This QRS shall be used in conjunction with the supplementary requirements specification IOGP S-707, the
information requirements specification IOGP S-707L and the equipment datasheet IOGP S-707D which
together comprise the full set of specification documents. The introduction section in the supplementary
requirements specification provides further information on the purpose of each of these documents and the
order of precedence for their use.

3 Terms and Definitions

3.1 Conformity assessment

Demonstration that requirements relating to a product, process, system, person or body are fulfilled.

NOTE 1 Conformity assessment (or assessment) includes but is not limited to review, inspection, verification and
validation activities.

NOTE 2 Assessment activities may be undertaken at a supplier/sub-supplier's premises, virtually by video link, desktop
sharing, etc. or by review of information formally submitted for acceptance or for information.

3.2 Conformity assessment system (CAS)

System providing different levels of assessment of the supplier's control activities by the customer (second
party) or independent body (third party) based on evaluation of the supplier's capability to conform to the
product or service specification and obligatory requirements.

NOTE CAS A reflects the highest risk and associated extent of verification. CAS D is the lowest.

3.3 Conformity assessment - hold point

The point in the chain of activities beyond which an activity shall not proceed without the approval of the
purchaser or purchaser's representative.

 Quality requirements for Actuators for On-Off Valves

3.4 Conformity assessment - witness point

The point in the chain of activities that the supplier shall notify the purchaser or purchaser's representative
before proceeding. The operation or process may proceed without witness if the purchaser does not attend
after the agreed notice period.

3.5 Conformity assessment - surveillance

Observation, monitoring or review by the purchaser or purchaser's representative of an activity, operation,

process, product or associated information.

3.6 Conformity assessment - review

Review of the supplier's information to verify conformance to requirements.

NOTE Information review requirements are managed on a surveillance basis and as such do not impose
schedule constraints, unless specified as hold points in Annex A or as conditions specified in the associated
IRS.

3.7 Critical

That deemed by the organization, product specification, or purchaser as mandatory, indispensable or

essential, needed for a stated purpose or task, and requiring specific action.

5.2.4

Supplier performance in meeting the requirements will be routinely assessed during execution of the scope
and where appropriate, corrective action requested and conformity assessment activities increased or
decreased consistent with criticality and risk.

NOTE 1 For industrial well proven solutions CAS level D is specified unless risk assessment indicates that a more
stringent CAS level is required.

NOTE 2 Irrespective of conformity assessment requirements defined by the customer, either, by reference to standard
or specification requirements or in the scope, the supplier remains responsible for operational planning and control and
demonstration of the conformity of products and services with the requirements (see ISO 9001:2015, 8.1 and 8.2).

6 Traceability
Material certification and traceability shall be maintained in accordance with Annex B.

7 Control of nonconforming products and services

Nonconformance with specified requirements identified by or to supplier prior to or during the delivery of the
products and services shall be corrected such that the specified requirements are satisfied or the
purchaser's acceptance of the nonconformance agreed in accordance with purchase order conditions. See
ISO 9001:2015, 8.2.3, 8.2.4, 8.5.6 and 8.7.
