UK-PRO-5.4-1002
Important:
When referring to BP offshore installations, these procedures apply to normal
operations. The procedures may require amendment for combined operations,
where equipment from a drilling rig is located alongside or on an installation.
The appropriate Combined Operations Safety Case will explain any such changes.
UK-PRO-5.4-1002
Important:
All documents for review, or which go to BP with the equipment, must be written
in English unless otherwise agreed.
The supplier must ensure that the equipment they supply meets all current relevant legislation,
in particular:
SI 2008/No 1597 The Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008
SI 1998/No 2306 The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) 1998,
and Guidance L22
SI 1998/No 2307 The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER)
1998, and Guidance L113
UK-PRO-5.4-1002
SI 1996/No 192 The Equipment and Protective Systems Intended for Use in Potentially
Explosive Atmosphere Regulations 1996, from Atmosphres Explosifs (ATEX)
Directive 94/9/EC.
This includes proof of an inspection of new ATEX-compliant equipment and either:
- a review of the ATEX technical file, or
- verification that the manufacturer has an accredited quality control process for design
and construction and conformity procedures for ATEX-compliant equipment.
The supplier must provide appropriate and current material, test and compliance certification.
The supplier should also make sure the equipment meets the requirements of the Oil & Gas UK
(OGUK)) Guidelines for the Safe Packing and Handling of Cargo to and from Offshore
Locations.
Shipping agent
The shipping agent makes sure that equipment has a fully completed Equipment Release Form
PE001 (see appendix 1).
Supply base service provider (SBSP)
People in BP who requisition equipment and services should know about the following systems
and procedures:
Ordering systems in BP
There are two ordering systems in BP Maximo and CTX. Drilling and Completions and
Well Services are the only users of CTX. Requisitions raised in CTX are sent to the
supplier as a Maximo purchase order.
For orders raised in Maximo, certification requirements are detailed at individual line level.
For requisitions raised in CTX, they are only at project level.
How equipment is routed at the supply base
When equipment arrives at the supply base, it is only routed through the transit shed
if it needs containerisation. Deck lifts are routed directly to the quayside via the cargo
inspection gantry.
Only equipment that we purchase goes through goods received processing before
it is shipped offshore.
Equipment that we rent or is provided as part of a service goes through the goods
received notice (GRN) process automatically. Because of this, the SBSP cannot check
if the supplier should have had the equipment inspected and released.
Important:
The person requisitioning the equipment is responsible for ensuring that
the supplier knows about the certification requirements at the purchasing
or requisitioning stage.
UK-PRO-5.4-1002
Important:
This covers a very small percentage of the total equipment that BP ships offshore.
As stated above, the person requisitioning the equipment is responsible for
ensuring that the supplier knows about the certification requirements at the
purchasing or requisitioning stage.
Where temporary equipment is tied into live hydrocarbon plant, for example,
equipment rigged up for well intervention work, this should be controlled in the
specific workpack by using PC1 and SH1 forms (see Technical integrity and
assurance procedure (UKCS-TI-019)).

UK-PRO-5.4-1002
Supplier
When the supplier receives the order or contract from us, they select suitable equipment,
including any installation-specific requirements as described in North Sea Region (UK) offshore
temporary equipment technical details or otherwise. They also do the following:
Ask the BP Inspection Representative to carry out an inspection (see appendix 7
for call-out procedure).
Ensure that a competent representative completes and signs Part A of the Equipment
Release Form PE001 (see appendix 1).
Correct any defect or inadequacy found as a result of the inspection.
Complete an assessment to make sure the equipment complies with the Provision and
Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER).
Compile documents to accompany the equipment when it goes out, which should include
the following as a minimum:
- inspection release certificate (IRC) (original)
- Equipment Release Form PE001 (see appendix 1)
- manufacturers certificates showing testing authorities approval for all equipment
certified for installation in hazardous areas (subdivided into Zone 0, Zone 1 and
Zone 2)
- operating, maintenance and instruction manuals, where appropriate
- a copy of the PUWER assessment (see the PUWER assessment checklist in
UKCS-TI-017)
- equipment weight and footprint data.
Ensure compliance with OGUK Guidelines for the Safe Packing and Handling of Cargo to
and from Offshore Locations.
BP Inspection Representative
The BP Inspection Representatives role is to do the following:
Review all certificates and documents for the equipment.
Sign the Equipment Release Form PE001 (see appendix 1) and any associated checklists
(PE003 to PE014) that are required (see appendix 3) on completion of the inspection,
as long as the equipment meets the specification in How we procure equipment.
Issue an IRC and Form PE001, and any other relevant documents, to the supplier.

13
UK-PRO-5.4-1002
If an item is unsuitable, complete a user feedback report (UFR) form in line with the
User Feedback Reporting System (UKCS-CSM-015). This will be replaced during 2013
by the Supplier Quality Management, Excellence through Supplier Quality process and
non-conformance indications (NCIs) will be used.
For all items on the register, maintenance and inspection activities should be set at vendor
recommended frequencies and carried out before they go overdue.
All equipment that is removed from site should be deleted from the register.
14
UK-PRO-5.4-1002
Electrical-driven equipment
Electrical supplies
The Electrical technical details table shows the alternating current (ac) power supply
specifications for all installations.
BP installations dont provide a direct current (dc) power supply for suppliers equipment.
Suppliers should organise their own dc supply if this is required.
Note:
BP installations do have a 24Vdc power supply, but only for instrument or fire and
gas (F&G) indication and annunciation from suppliers equipment.
Temporary equipment for use offshore should have fittings that suit existing installation power
supplies and sockets (see the Electrical technical details table). The Procurer should make it
clear on the purchase order if they need to wire equipment directly into the installation electrical
system.
Some specialised equipment might need electrical supplies that dont meet the above
requirements. If this happens, the relevant installation Asset Engineer should be asked
for advice.
15
UK-PRO-5.4-1002
Cable specifications
Cable specifications are as follows:
All cables for power supplies to portable equipment must have an integral
earth conductor.
Cables must be long enough for portable equipment to reach the worksite without
using an extension lead, but they shouldnt be longer than:
- 15m for equipment that needs a supply of 110Vac or less
- 20m for equipment that needs a supply of more than 110Vac.
If you use an extension lead, you should check that any earth loop impedance is low
enough to ensure the circuit protection device works within the set time limit.
Cables for extension leads, hand lamps, portable tools and associated portable
transformers are to be either heat, oil and flame-retardant (HOFR) or SY steel
braided cables.
Specialised test equipment, which requires a certain type of cable, is exempt from the
requirements in the second and third bullet points above, subject to agreement with the
installation Asset Engineer. The Inspection Co-ordinator will record all these exemptions
so that the Regional Electrical Technical Authority can carry out a periodic review of cable
specifications to decide whether they need to add any new specifications to future
versions of this document.
Where physically possible, cables must be flame-retardant at least to the standard of
BS EN 60332-1 Test on electrical and optical cables under fire conditions, 2004.
The REP or delegated CEP must check all cables before and after use.
Electrical loads and protection
The supplier must work out the total electrical loading, and the size and type of electrical
protection they need to protect individual circuits. They must record all design calculations.
Installation power sockets
The plug configuration must suit the power sockets on BP installations (see the Electrical
technical details table). The supplier must make sure that all electrical equipment for use on
BP installations has a compatible and suitably rated plug. If equipment is for wiring directly
into the installation electrical system, it is possible to supply it without a plug.
16
UK-PRO-5.4-1002
Portable transformers
Transformers for supplying portable electrical equipment must be double wound with an earthed
screen between primary and secondary windings, and with the secondary winding centre
tapped to earth.
Transformers must be fitted with a 110V secondary winding with sensitive, current-operated,
earth-leakage circuit breakers controlling the outgoing supply. The residual current device
should operate with a minimum operating time of 40 milliseconds if the earth leakage current
is more than 30mA. It should also have a test pushbutton that can be used to prove the integrity
of the tripping circuit.
Ingress protection should be at least IP54.
If the installation cant provide the required type of transformer, they might be able to provide
a suitable one in special cases only.
Portable electrically powered tools and maintenance equipment
The equipment will be suitable for use in Zone 1 areas, unless otherwise agreed with
the Procurer.
If it is necessary to use industrial electrical equipment, the user must:
stay with the equipment at all times during use
use it only if they have a spark potential or naked flame permit
isolate and disconnect it from the electrical supply when not in use.
All hand-held portable tools must be able to operate at rated voltages of no more than 110V.
Ingress protection should be at least IP55.
The supplier must state hand tool vibration levels over 2.5m/sec2 to the user.

Operational requirements
Control and use of mobile plant
Mobile plant in hazardous areas
Mobile plant should be used as infrequently as possible in hazardous areas. If mobile plant
must be used in a hazardous area, it is best to locate and use it on roadways, if possible.
To minimise voltage drop in the cables, weld sets must be located as close to the worksite
as possible.
For mobile plant in hazardous areas, the following rules apply:
Mobile plant must have a spark arrestor and Chalwyn valve fitted and have a valid
vehicle inspection tag.
The Control of Work Supervisor, Area Operator and Emergency Response should
agree the location of the mobile plant and record this on the work control certificate.
After it is in a hazardous area, the Control of Work Supervisor (or their representative)
should check the location and condition of the mobile plant every shift, as part of their
worksite visits, and the Area Operator should do this on their area checks.
The mobile plant should be left in the hazardous area for as little time as possible.
The maximum number of items of mobile plant allowed in hazardous areas at any time
is six.
The Mobile Plant Attendant should tell operations (the area Control Room Operator
(CRO)) by radio before starting mobile plant. If a single attendant is looking after several
items of mobile plant, they only need to notify operations when they start the first item.
There must be a Mobile Plant Attendant with the mobile plant in hazardous areas while
it is running and for 15 minutes after it is shut down.
Mobile plant should not be left unattended with the engine running.
One Mobile Plant Attendant can watch several items of mobile plant if these are
located together.
39
UK-PRO-5.4-1002
All mobile plant in hazardous areas must have a constant gas monitor (CGM) upwind
of the mobile plant it is monitoring and a CO2 fire extinguisher.
When not in use, the mobile plant must be properly shut down and the keys removed.
Mobile plant in non-hazardous (operating) areas
Mobile plant should be used as infrequently as possible in non-hazardous operating areas.
If mobile plant must be used in a non-hazardous operating area, it is best to locate and use
it on roadways, if possible. To minimise voltage drop in the cables, weld sets must be located
as close to the worksite as possible.
For mobile plant in non-hazardous operating areas, the following rules apply:
Mobile plant must have a spark arrestor and Chalwyn valve fitted and have a valid vehicle
inspection tag.
The Control of Work Supervisor should agree the location of the mobile plant and record
this on the work control certificate.
The Performing Authority should tell operations (the area CRO) by radio before starting
mobile plant. If there are several items of mobile plant, the Performing Authority only
needs to tell operations when they start the first item.
Mobile plant in non-hazardous areas does not need a Mobile Plant Attendant.
Mobile plant in non-hazardous areas must have a CO2 fire extinguisher but does not
need a CGM.
When not in use, the mobile plant must be properly shut down and the keys removed.
The person using the mobile plant must shut it down if the plant alarm or the terminal
or site general alarm (GA) sounds.
Mobile plant in non-operating areas
Wherever possible, mobile plant should be located in non-operating areas. For mobile plant
operating in non-operating areas, the following rules apply:
Mobile plant must have a spark arrestor and Chalwyn valve fitted and have a valid vehicle
inspection tag.
The Control of Work Supervisor, Area Operator and Emergency Response should agree
the location of the mobile plant and record this on the work control certificate.
Mobile plant in non-operating areas does not need a Mobile Plant Attendant.
Mobile plant in non-operating areas must have a CO2 fire extinguisher but does not
need a CGM.
The person using the mobile plant must shut it down if the plant alarm or the terminal
or site GA sounds.

The Inspection Co-ordinator, Inspection Representative and supplier will agree a suitable date
and time for a revisit (the Inspection Representative shouldnt do revisits for NCR corrective
work before previously booked inspection assignments). The supplier will tell the Procurer
if the revisit will have any impact on the equipment delivery schedule.
If equipment complies with requirements, the Inspection Representative will issue an inspection
release certificate (IRC) and the appropriate PE checklist or checklists to the supplier. They will
also complete an inspection report that the Inspection Co-ordinator will keep. If the Inspection
Co-ordinator has noted any areas of concern on the report, they will send them to the supplier
by email or fax. Areas of concern are items of equipment or related documents that the
Inspection Representative identifies during an inspection visit that do not fully meet the
requirements of UK-PRO-5.4-1002 but that they correct during the inspection visit.
If it is necessary to cancel a visit (by telling the Inspection Co-ordinator), this will be accepted
the day before the agreed visit time but will incur an NCR if cancelled on the actual day
of the visit.
