Description

1.1 Industry Scope

Although the risk management principles and concepts that Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) is built on are universally applicable, this recommended practice (RP) is specifically targeted to the application of RBI in the hydrocarbon and chemical process industry.

1.2 Flexibility in Application

Because of the broad diversity in organizational size, culture, and federal and/or local regulatory requirements, this RP offers users the flexibility to apply RBI methodology within the context of existing corporate risk management practices and to accommodate unique local circumstances. The document is designed to provide a framework that clarifies the minimum and recommended attributes of a quality risk assessment without imposing undue constraints on users. This RP is intended to promote consistency and quality in the identification, assessment, and management of risks pertaining to material deterioration that could lead to loss of containment.

Many types of RBI methods exist and are currently being applied throughout industry. This document is not intended to single out one specific approach as the recommended method for conducting an RBI effort. The RP instead is intended to identify and clarify the minimum essential elements of an RBI analysis and program as well as to provide guidance on the recommended work process for conducting a successful RBI program. The best RBI programs will not only be in compliance with the minimum essential elements in this RP but will also adhere to the entire work.
