This document specifies a method for the magnetic particle testing of ferro-magnetic steel and iron castings. It also gives acceptance criteria through severity levels defined by the nature, the area and the dimensions of the discontinuities present. This document is applicable to all ferro-magnetic castings, independent of the moulding method. A steel and iron casting is considered to be ferro-magnetic if the magnetic induction is greater than 1 T

(Tesla) for a magnetic field strength of 2,4 kA/m. This document only applies to those areas of the castings specified for testing, as well as the percentage

of castings to be tested

This document specifies a method for the liquid penetrant testing of steel and iron castings.

This part of ISO 15489 provides guidelines on managing records 1 of originating organizations, public or private, for internal and external clients. All the elements outlined in this part of ISO 15489 are recommended to ensure that adequate records according to the principles and elements outlined in this part ISO 15489 are provided in ISO /TR 15489-2 (Guidelines).

This part of ISO 15489 is an implementation guide to ISO 15489-1 -1 for use by record management professional and those charged with management records in their organizations. It provides one methodology that will facilitates the implementation of ISO 15489-1 in all organization that have a need to manage their records. It gives an overview of the processes and factors to consider in organization wishing to comply with ISO 15489-1.

This document specifies requirements for and gives guidance on the application of life cycle costing to create value for the development activities and operations associated with drilling, exploitation, processing and transport of petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas resources. This document covers facilities and associated activities within different business categories (upstream, midstream, downstream and petrochemical).

The extent of planning and management depends on the magnitude of the costs involved, the potential value that can be created and the life cycle phase. It also provides the means of identifying cost drivers and provides a cost-control framework for these cost drivers, allowing effective cost control and optimization over the entire life of an asset.

This document specifies requirements and gives recommendations on the management of integrity of a pipeline system throughout its life cycle, which includes design, construction, commissioning, operation, maintenance and abandonment.

This document is applicable to offshore pipelines for transporting petroleum and natural gas. It is applicable to rigid steel pipelines. It is not applicable to flexible pipelines, dynamic risers or those constructed from other materials, such as glass-reinforced plastics.

NOTE 1 An offshore pipeline system extends to:

— the first valve, flange or connection above water on platform or subsea mechanical connector with subsea structure (i.e. manifold or dynamic riser);

— the connection point to the offshore installation (i.e. piping manifolds are not included);

— the first valve, flange, connection or isolation joint at a landfall, unless otherwise specified by the onshore legislation.

NOTE 2 The components mentioned above (valve, flange, connection, isolation joint) include also any pup pieces, i.e. the offshore pipeline system extends to the weld beyond the pup piece, see Figure 1.

This document is used for integrity management, which is initiated at the design and construction stage of the pipeline. Where requirements of a design and construction standard (e.g. ISO 13623) are different, the provisions of this document will enhance the design and construction from an integrity perspective.

This standard establishes the procedures for operations to retain pressure control of the well under pre-kick conditions and recommended practices to be utilized during a kick.
