GENERAL NOTES
1

The first three incidents of each Inspection or testing activity listed require 100 % participation by Saudi Aramco Site Inspection Personnel. After this period, Saudi Aramco Inspection may adjust the levels
of Saudi Aramco participation based upon the Contractors performance.

Surveillance: QA/QC organization to monitor work in progress without notice from Construction Organization

Witness:
QA/QC organization shall be notified of the timing of Inspection or test in advance. However, the inspection or test shall be performed as scheduled if the QA/QC organization representative
is not present.

Hold:

If the Main Contractor delegates the assigned responsibility to the Subcontractor, then the Main Contractor will have the same degree of responsibility as assigned to Saudi Aramco.

QA/QC organization shall be notified of the timing of inspection or test in advance. Inspection or test shall not be carried out without the QA/QC organization representative in attendance.
