1.

SCOPE OF APPLICATION
This checking instruction applies only to documents prepared on the basis of the Technical Instructions
09PIR-F02.

2.

AIM
This checking instruction serves as in internal basis for the engineering of piping in chemical and industrial
plant. It contains special stipulations about the substantive execution of checking documents. General and
organisational stipulations for the checking and approval of documents are set down in QA Instruction QA
0100-A03.
In case the checker is of the opinion that the checking should be more than specified in this document he must
do so and also keep Engineering Manager / HOD-PI informed.

3.

DEFINITIONS
For definitions refer QA 0100-A02.

4.

DEALING WITH DEVIATIONS AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS

4.1

General
If any data in the documents do not tally with the basic checking data, these will be corrected by the checker
and given back to the staff member in charge for correction work and re-submission for checking.
The results of the checking are to be documented in master copies. After carrying in all corrections into the
original, there follows the approval as described in QAI QA 0100-A03.

4.2

Piping model
All errors, as well as missing components or text, will be recorded. After correction by the person in charge
and the model builder the model will be checked again . Revisions, which become necessary arising out of
client requests or through design and process engineering deviations to the basic data, must be authorised.
Only after authorisation are the revisions carried out and the model once more checked and approved.

4.3

CAD-Isometrics (if applicable)

If any data in isometrics such as dimensions, coordinates, code Nos., etc. do not coincide with the basic
checking data, these isometrics will be corrected by the checker and returned to the coder for processing. If
process engineering errors are found, if the isometric is incomplete for e.g. without supports, the checker shall
return the isometric to the "person in charge" for correction work, who will re-submit the isometric for
checking after correction.

5.

EXECUTION OF CHECKING
The scope of checking described in the following sections, can possibly be reduced, if the feed through of
information can be assured by the use of EDP application systems. (Avoidance of multiple checking).
Under column "Basic data for checking" the stipulations shall never be treated as exhaustive , Whatever
additional basic data are required for checking ,the checker is authorised to refer additional data to achieve the
desired results.
