Risk Based Inspection and Maintenance procedures for European industry
Risk based Inspection and MAintenance Procedures for European industry (RIMAP) is an
EU funded initiative1. RIMAP consists of 3 projects: a research and technological
development project (RTD), a demonstration project (DEMO) and a Thematic Network (TN).

The background for the RIMAP project is that current practice to inspection and maintenance
planning for most industries is based on tradition and prescriptive rules, rather than being an
optimized process where risk measures for safety and economy are integrated. New
technology for taking risk based decisions is emerging in a broad range of sectors, and they
have proven to be a very efficient tool. There is a great need to define the technical content,
links to local legislation and to integrate this approach with the day-to-day operation of the
plants.

The RIMAP project shall:


• Develop a unified approach to risk based inspection and maintenance planning.
• Set requirements to the contents of an analysis, personnel qualifications, and tools.
• Provide the basis for future standardisation within risk based inspection and
maintenance.

The work in the RIMAP RTD project has been organised as follows:
• WP1: Current practice within the involved industries.
• WP2: Development of a generic RBIM method, based on a multi-criteria decision
process.
• WP3: Development of detailed risk assessment methods, damage models for
different industry sectors, the use of inspection data.
• WP4: Development of RIMAP application workbooks: guidelines for development of
Risk Based Inspection and Maintenance plans.
• WP5: Validation of the RIMAP methodology.

RIMAP RTD reporting structure is given in below:

The RIMAP DEMO project consists of four demonstration cases, one for each of the involved
industry sectors: petrochemical, power, steel, and chemical industry. The techniques can
easily be extended to other industry sectors.

The RIMAP TN accompanies the RTD and DEMO projects by disseminating the information,
and results of the RTD and DEMO part to a wider community of companies that review
results and generate an overall industry acceptance.

corporate objectives
Asset Register – a record of items, including information such as constructional and
technical details about each. This may be combined with an inventory. List of all the
plant, equipment and buildings owned or used by the organisation and which require
maintenance of any sort.
Availability – The ability of an item to be in a state to perform a required function under
given conditions at a given instant of time or over a given time interval, assuming that
the required external resources are provided.
(IEC 60050-191, ISO 14224, DRAFT prEN 13306)
Average Individual Risk (AIR) – The average individual risk is usually estimated from
historical data as:
AIR = Number of fatalities per year/ Number of people at risk.
Average Rate of Death – The average number of fatalities from all incidents that might be
expected per unit time

C
Capital Cost/CAPital EXpenditures – Capital cost shall be calculated by adding the
following cost elements: Equipment purchase cost, Installation cost, Commissioning
cost, Insurance spares cost, Reinvestment cost. (Where there is a deviation between
when the investments will be made and the base year for the evaluation, capital cost
shall be discounted back to the base year.)

External Event – Events resulting from forces of nature, acts of God or sabotage, or such
events as neighbouring fires or explosions, neighbouring hazardous material releases,
electrical power failures, tornadoes, earthquakes, and intrusions of external
transportation vehicles, such as aircraft, ships, trains, trucks, or automobiles. External
events are usually beyond the direct or indirect control of persons employed at or by
the facility.

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) – A qualitative method of reliability analysis
which involves the study of the failure modes which can exist in every component part
of the plant and the required function of the plant.
Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) – A qualitative method of
reliability analysis which involves a failure modes and effects analysis together with a
consideration of the probability of failure modes, their occurrence and of the ranking of
effects and the seriousness of the failures.
Failure on Demand Probability – The probability of failure of an item per demand. Demand
is a situation where the item is required in order to initiate and complete a typical
operation (e.g. opening of a valve when required).
Failure Rate – Number of failures of an item in a given time interval divided by the time
interval.
NOTE 1: This value is an approximation.
NOTE 2: In some cases unit of time can be replaced by units of use.
(Ref. DRAFT prEN 13306)
The limit, if this exists, of the ratio of the conditional probability that the instant of time,
T, of a failure of an item falls within a given time interval, (t, t + ∆t) and the length of this
interval, ∆t, when ∆t tends to zero, given that the item is in an up state at the beginning
of the time interval.
NOTE: In this definition T may also denote the time to failure or the time to fist failure,
as the case may be.
(Ref. IEC 60050-191)
Fatal Accident Rate (FAR) – Fatal accident rate (FAR) is the number of fatalities per 108
exposed hours. (Roughly 1000 employee working lifetimes)
The FAR measure was developed to describe onshore occupational risks, which only
apply during working hours. Hence, in onshore studies, ‘exposed hours’ is taken to
mean ‘hours at work’, and the onshore FAR is defined as: Onshore
FAR = Number of fatalities · 108 / Person hours at work.
In offshore studies, ‘exposed hours’ are usually taken to be `hours spent offshore', and
the FAR is defined as: Offshore
FAR = Number of fatalities · 108 / Person hours offshore.

flaws/imperfections contained within a component or equipment item are assessed in
order to determine acceptability for continued service.
Flammable Effect – the physical behaviour of the hazardous material that is released. See
Safe Dispersion, Jet Flame, Explosion, Flash Fire, Fireball, and Pool Fire.
Flash Fire – occurs when a cloud of material burns under conditions that do not generate

Generic Failure Frequency – a compilation of available records of equipment failure


histories, developed for each type of equipment and each diameter of piping; built
using records from all plants within a company or from various plants within an
industry, from literature sources, past reports, and commercial data bases. The values

environment.
(Ref. ISO/IEC Guideline 51)
Hazard – Potential source of harm.
(Ref. ISO/IEC Guideline 51)
A physical condition or a release of a hazardous material that could result from
component failure and result in human injury or death, loss or damage, or
environmental degradation. Hazard is the source of harm. Components that are used
to transport, store, or process a hazardous material can be a source of hazard. Human
error and external events may also create a hazard.
(Ref. API580)
Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) Study – a HAZOP study is a form of failure modes and
effects analysis. HAZOP studies, which were originally developed for the process
industry, use systematic techniques to identify hazards and operability issues
throughout an entire facility. It is particularly useful in identifying unforeseen hazards
designed into facilities due to lack of information, or introduced into existing facilities
due to changes in process conditions or operating procedures. The basic objectives of
the techniques are:

a. To produce a full description of the facility or process, including the intended


design conditions;

b. Systematically review every part of the facility or process to discover how


deviations from the intention of the design can occur; and
c. To decide whether these deviations can lead to hazards or operability issues.
(Ref. API580)
Human Error – A human action that produces an unintended result.
(Ref. IEC 60050-191)
Human Reliability – The probability that a person:
1. Correctly performs some system-required activity in a required time period (if time is
a limiting factor) and
2. Performs no extraneous activity that can degrade the system.
Human unreliability is the opposite of this definition.

I

functions’ capability to survive an accident. For example, an escape route can be
impaired, if the radiation level exceeds a certain value.
Individual Risk (IR) – Individual risk is the frequency (usually per year) at which a single
individual is expected to suffer a given level of harm (usually death) due to specific
hazards.

degradation inspected for.
Inspection Methods – the means by which inspection is carried out, covering the technique
and a description of its application.

to be applied, concerning surface and equipment preparation, execution of inspection
with a given method, and area of coverage.
Instantaneous Release – one that occurs so rapidly that the fluid disperses as a single large
cloud or pool
Intangible Assets – assets for which the value, though real, cannot readily be measured
and for which a company frequently incurs costs.

(Ref. DRAFT prEN 13306)
Limit State – a mathematical description of the load on a component when failure is
expected to occur. This may include “safety factors”.
Limit State Design – limit state design identifies explicitly the different failure modes and
provides a specific design check to ensure that failure does not occur. This implies that
the component’s capacity is characterised by the actual capacity for each individual
failure mode (i.e. limit state) and that the design check is more directly related to the
actual failure mechanism.
Logistic delay – That accumulated time during which maintenance cannot be carried out
due to the necessity to acquire maintenance resources, excluding any administrative
delay.
NOTE: Logistic delays can be due to, for example, travelling to unattended
installations, pending arrival of spare parts, specialists, test equipment, information and
suitable environmental conditions.
(IEC 60050-191)
Loss – any negative consequence, financial or otherwise
Loss of Containment – occurs only when the pressure boundary is breached

NOTE: In English, the use of abbreviation MTBF in this sense is now deprecated.
Mean Time To Failure (MTTF) – The expectation of the time to failure.
(Ref. IEC 60050-191)
The mean time to failure is a predictor of the time to failure.

MTTR is also sometimes called the mean downtime (MDT) of the item. In some
situations MTTR is used to denote the mean active repair time instead of the mean
down time of the item.
Mitigation – is the implementation of activities that will result in a reduction in either the
probability or consequence of an event.

NOTE 1: Monitoring is distinguished from inspection in that it is used to evaluate any
changes in the parameters of the item with time. Monitoring may be continuous or over
time interval or number of operations.
NOTE 2: Monitoring is usually carried out during up state.

N
NDT – Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is a procedure which covers the inspection and/or
testing of any material, component or assembly by means which do not affect its
ultimate serviceability. NDT methods are aimed to assess:
• Deficiencies in material and products.
• Determination of physical and geometric properties of materials and products.
• Structural behaviour of materials, products and installations.
Net Present Value, NPV – A method for assessing the value of investment proposals.
The net present value (NPV) is obtained by calculating the discounted value of the
future cash returns and subtracting the discounted value of the investments (or cash
outflows) required to produce the positive cash flow.

O
Operate to Failure – a maintenance option that entails items running until they break down
with no preventive maintenance work being undertaken and no attempt to detect failure
in advance.
Operating Cost/OPerational EXpenditures (OPEX) – Operating cost shall be calculated by
adding the following cost elements: Man-hour cost, spare parts consumption cost,
logistic support cost, and energy consumption cost. For costs that will be constant
through the lifetime, multiply the annual cost with a discount factor to get the cost over
the lifetime.
(Ref. NORSOK O-CR-001)
Operating Time – The time interval during which an item is in an operating state.
(Ref. IEC 60050-191, ISO 14224)
Time interval during which an item is performing its required function.
(Ref. DRAFT prEN 13306)
Operational Boundaries – both the normal operation and periods of non-routine operation
(startups, shutdowns, process upsets, etc.) of the system being studied.
Operations Reference Plan – the plan that demonstrates that all activities, resources,
threats and opportunities for improvement to a facility’s technical integrity have been
fully evaluated and the impact on cash flow quantified over the life cycle.
Operator – The organisation responsible for operation of an installation.

P
Physical Boundaries – all equipment items that make up the pressure envelope of the
system being studied
Planned Maintenance – the maintenance organised and carried out with forethought,
control and the use of records to a predetermined plan.

(Preventive maintenance actions include lubrication, cleaning, modification, sparing
and periodic inspection.)
Probability – Extent to which an event is likely to occur. The mathematical definition of
probability is “a real number in the scale 0 to 1 attached to a random event”. Probability
can be related to a long-run relative frequency of occurrence or to a degree of belief
that an event will occur. For a high degree of belief, the probability is near 1. Frequency
rather than probability may be used in describing risk. Degrees of belief about
probability can be chosen as classes or ranks like “Rare/unlikely/moderate/likely/almost
certain” or “incredible/improbable/remote/ occasional/probable/frequent”.
(Ref. API580)
Probability of Detection (PoD) – probability that a given damage in a component will be
detected using a given inspection method. PoD usually varies with the size or extent of
damage and inspection method.
Probability of Failure (PoF) – The probability that failure of a component will occur within a
defined time period.
Process monitoring – Monitoring of process conditions which may give rise to given failure
mechanisms. Examples are monitoring of dew point in a gas line, monitoring
temperature, sand monitoring.
Process Unit – A group of equipment arranged in a specific fashion to produce a product.
Production availability – The ratio of production to planned production, or any other
reference level, over a specified period of time.
NOTE 1: This measure is used in connection with analysis of delimited systems without
compensating elements such as substitution from other producers and downstream
buffer storage. Battery limits need to be defined in each case.
NOTE 2: The term injection availability may be used meaning the ratio of injection
volume to planned injection volume.

Comment: In a risk analysis the probability and the consequence of an event may be
determined using engineering judgement and/or based on mathematical models, where
the result is expressed in dimensioned numerical terms. The terms qualitative and
quantitative are sometimes used to distinguish these methods. (See, e.g., API580)
Risk Assessment – Overall process comprising a risk analysis and a risk evaluation.
(Ref. API580, ISO/IEC Guideline 51, ISO N33)

pressurised equipment in processing facilities, due to material degradation. These risks
are managed primarily through equipment inspection.
(Ref. API580)
Risk Based Life Management – A concept used in the area of industrial plant asset
management which extends the idea of risk-based inspection (RBI) and maintenance

critical components and systems, more detailed life assessment.
Risk Based Management – the process of using risk assessment results (including
understanding uncertainties) to determine the “best” means of risk reduction
Risk Communication – exchange or sharing of information about risk between the decision-
maker and other stakeholders. The information may relate to the existence, nature,

monitoring, re-evaluation, and compliance with decisions.
(Ref. API580)
Risk Criteria – Terms of reference by which the significance of risk is assessed.
NOTE: Risk criteria may include associated cost and benefits, legal and statutory
requirements, socio-economic and environmental aspects, concerns of stakeholders,
priorities and other inputs to the assessment.

RISK EXpenditures, RISKEX(n) – Risk exposure is determined by calculation of the


probability of an event happening and multiplying it by the consequence of the event.
The total RISKEX are determined by summing the cost for all these events.
[Risk exposure can (and commonly does) evaluate aspects throughout a project
lifecycle such as: project overruns, new technology concerns, delays and quality
issues, personnel safety, asset damage, environmental concerns, loss, production and
decommissioning concerns.]
Risk Indices – a single number measure of risk.
Risk Informed Inspection (RII) – inspection planning based on a qualitative “information” on
the risk involved but not fully utilising the results from the calculated risk.
Risk Management – Co-ordinated activities to direct and control an organisation with regard
to risk. Risk management typically includes risk assessment, risk treatment, risk
acceptance and risk communication.
(Ref. API580)3
Risk Matrix – This is a pictorial representation of risk, on an n*n matrix of probability and
consequence.
Risk Reduction – Actions taken to lessen the probability, negative consequences, or both
associated with a particular risk.

safety integrity requirements of the safety functions to be allocated to the
electric/electronic/programmable electronic safety-related systems, where safety
integrity level 4 has the highest level of safety integrity and safety integrity level 1 has
the lowest.
(Ref. IEC 61508-4)
Scenario – The set of events that can result in an undesirable outcome.
Scheduled Maintenance – the preventive maintenance carried out to a predetermined

Segment4 – A number of components forming part of the same pressure system, consisting
of pipes, valves, vessels, etc, which can be automatically closed-in by emergency shut-
down valves. The segment defines the maximum volume of fluid or gas that can
released from that system in the event of a failure in any of the components. Some
segments contain both liquid and gas which may be considered differently regarding
consequence effects. Note that it is normal to assume that the ESD isolation functions
on demand, but this may not be applicable to all cases.
Severity class – A measure of how a failure effects on an item.
Severity Class Types: Critical failure: A failure which causes immediate and complete
loss of an item’s capability of providing its output. Degraded failure: A failure which is
not critical, but which prevents the item from providing its output within specifications.
Such a failure would usually, but not necessarily, be gradual or partial, and may
develop into a critical failure in time. Incipient failure: A failure which does not
immediately cause loss of an item’s capability of providing its output, but which, if not
attended to, could result in a critical or degraded failure in the near future. Unknown:
Failure severity was not recorded or could not be deduced.
Societal Risk Measures – consider the risk to groups of people that may be effected by
incidents.
Source – Thing or activity with a potential for consequence. Source in a safety context is a
hazard.
(Ref. API580)
Source Identification – Process to find, list, and characterise sources. In the safety area,
source identification is called hazard identification.
(Ref. API580)
Spurious Trip Rate – The Spurious Trip Rate is the frequency of false alarms which result in
system shutdown. The spurious signal can be caused by abnormal stimulation of
protection or control instrumentation or by component failure. The rate will generally be
quoted in spurious trips/year.
Stakeholder – any individual, group or organisation that may affect, be affected by, or
perceive itself to be affected by the risk.
(Ref. API580)
Sub-unit –Assembly of items that provides a specific function that is required for the
equipment unit within the main boundary to achieve its intended performance.
(Ref. ISO 14224)
System – a collection of equipment assembled for a specific function within a process unit.

T
