TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
2.1
General
2.1.1
In order to improve and maintain quality in their various activities, Shell are committed to
adopting ISO9000 - QUALITY SYSTEMS - which requires that a fully documented Quality
Assurance System capable of withstanding audit is employed.
2.1.2
This Specification covers the requirements to ensure that Quality Assurance is applied during
all stages of the Mechanical Construction works, in particular it relates to the Pipework Fabrication, Erection, Testing (ETS 602) and the Mechanical Equipment - Installation of
Rotating and Static Equipment (ETS 502).

2.1.3
2.1.4
The Contractor is required to provide adequate resources in the form of competent Quality
Control Engineers to administer the Quality Assurance System in accordance with this
Specification, on all Contracts. He will allow for this in his Tender.
2.1.5
The Contractor should note the requirement to utilise standard format Quality Control
documents which range from the Quality Plan, which is compiled using standard elements,
through to checklists.
2.1.6
Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 of this Specification describe the Application of the Quality System
to Major, Minor Works and Minor Works covered by Q12B, with references to relevant
Procedures.
Section 2.5 details the Procedures to be followed.
Section 3 lists all Quality Control documents.
2.1.7
Shell shall ensure that the Contractor is furnished with all relevant information at the
commencement of the Contract, and that any changes during the course of the work are
clearly and expeditiously relayed to him. The Contractor shall ensure that his Quality
Assurance system records and responds to these changes with minimum disruption and with
no adverse affect on Quality.
2.1.8
Satisfactory completion of work, together with full supporting Quality documents enables
handover to take place.
2.2
2.2.1
Major works are defined as those works which are the subject of an individual Shell Contract.
2.2.2
The Initiating Engineer produces a Scope of Work for the Contract, which in addition to
detailing the work package will refer to this Specification.
2.2.3
The Contractors bid will include the costs associated with the provision of adequate resources
in the form of competent Quality Control Engineer(s), to ensure full compliance with this
Specification.
2.2.4
Upon selecting the Contractor, and placing the Contract, the Initiating Engineer will
establish, and advise the Contractor of the Quality Sampling Level - ref. Section 2.5.2.
2.2.5
The Contractor is responsible for all aspects of the Contract, including any Sub-Contract
work, and the Quality Plan will include all such work.
2.2.6
The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that the work proceeds according to the Quality
Plan, e.g. appropriate submissions for approval are made to clear HOLD points, and that
Quality documentation keeps pace with the work.
2.2.7
2.2.8
Shell will monitor the Contractors Quality Performance by sampling to the level specified in
the Quality Plan. The format of the checklists enables their use both by the Contractor, and
by Shell during Quality sampling.

2.2.9
If monitoring reveals non-compliance, then the Initiating Engineer will decide whether to
revise the sampling level to a higher level.
2.2.10
Upon satisfactory completion of reinstatement after Hydrotest, together with full supporting
Quality documentation, the Contractor shall submit a Contract Handover Certificate to the
Shell Construction Supervisor, listing all outstanding items ref. Section 2.5.11.
This signifies that work has been completed up to the stage where the system can be handed
over to Operations for start-up.
2.2.11
This is followed by the Contractor issuing a Contract Completion Certificate when all
outstanding items have been cleared.
At this stage, the completed original of the Contract Quality Plan is forwarded by the
Contractor to the Initiating Engineer.
2.3
2.3.1
Minor works are defined as Smaller projects and are covered by a SAP Purchase Order but
could also apply to specific small packages of work within a major Contract.
2.3.2
The intention is to provide a Quality Control System more appropriate to the scale of work,
rather than employ the major works system which could be too cumbersome.
2.3.3
2.3.4
In receipt of a SAP Purchase Order from Shell, which will make reference to this
Specification, the Contractor will follow the Procedures given in section 2.4.7.
2.3.5
Quality Control of minor works will generally be carried out utilising quality plans established
utilising standard quality plan elements per Appendix 3.2, with the scale and extent of the
plan set to suit the nature and complexity of the works concerned. Consideration may be
given to the adoption of established Core Contract Quality Plans rather than purchase
order/contract specific items provided that these adequately cover the scope of the works.
For either of the above options, the requisite supporting documentation (standard forms and
check lists etc) per the appendices to this ETC must be supplied.
2.3.6
In the case of Minor Works, the extent and level of Shell sampling will be adjusted to suit the
nature of the works and, where applicable, to acknowledge execution of the works by
established Core Contractors.
2.3.7
Where the Contractor is involved in Post Construction activity, providing assistance to Shell
with pre-commissioning work i.e. flushing, reinstatement etc., the Contractor shall comply
with the relevant Quality Control Procedures and utilise appropriate documents.

Contractor shall submit Section 3 Document Q-12-B for approval of Welding Procedure
Specification (WPS) and Procedure Qualification Record (PQR) by Shell Inspection. Shell
Inspection will also specify Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and Heat Treatment requirements
as appropriate.
The Contractor shall check the system before testing, gaining approval signatures in Section 4
and advise Shell Inspection of the pending pressure test. Shell Inspection shall witness
pressure and sign Section 5.
On completion of the pressure test, the Contractor shall reinstate the system, recording in
Section 6 outstanding items, and then forward to the Shell Construction Supervisor (retaining
a copy for completion of outstanding items).
The Mechanical Contractor shall complete the outstanding mechanical items and send his
copy with Section 6 now signed-off to the Shell Construction Supervisor.
The Shell Construction Supervisor will then sign Section 6.
For piping systems which are to be service tested, this procedure shall apply, but with service
conditions inserted in Section 5 of Document Q-12-B.
Where Hydrotest dispensation has been obtained, the Dispensation Certificate shall
accompany Document Q-12-B.
