Procedure
This Standard replaces and cancels the previous revision.

The Responsible CONTEC Subcommittee provides guidance on the

interpretation of this Standard when questions arise regarding its contents. The
Department of PETROBRAS that uses this Standard is fully responsible for
adopting and applying the clauses thereof.

CONTEC Technical Requirement: a provision established as being the most adequate

and which shall be used strictly in accordance with this Standard. If a decision is
Comissão de Normas
Técnicas taken not to follow the requirement (“nonconformity” to this Standard) it shall be
based on well-founded economic and management reasons, and be approved
and registered by the Department of PETROBRAS that uses this Standard. It is
characterized by the verb forms “shall,” “it is necessary...,” “is required to...,” “it is
required that...,” “is to...,” “has to...,” “only ... is permitted,” and other equivalent
expressions having an imperative nature.
Recommended Practice: a provision that may be adopted under the conditions
of this Standard, but which admits (and draws attention to) the possibility of there
being a more adequate alternative (not written in this Standard) to the particular
application. The alternative adopted shall be approved and registered by the
Department of PETROBRAS that uses this Standard. It is characterized by the
verbal form “should” and equivalent expressions such as “it is recommended
that...” and “ought to...” (verbs of a nonmandatory nature). It is indicated by the
expression: [Recommended Practice].
Copies of the registered “nonconformities” to this Standard that may contribute to
the improvement thereof shall be submitted to the Responsible CONTEC
Subcommittee.
SC - 04 Proposed revisions to this Standard shall be submitted to the Responsible
Civil Construction CONTEC Subcommittee, indicating the alphanumeric identification and revision
of the Standard, the clause(s) to be revised the proposed text, and
technical/economic justification for revision. The proposals are evaluated during
the work for alteration of this Standard.
“The present Standard is the exclusive property of PETRÓLEO
BRASILEIRO S.A. - PETROBRAS, for internal use in the company,
and any reproduction for external use or disclosure, without

Foreword
PETROBRAS Technical Standards are prepared by Working Groups - GTs
(consisting of PETROBRAS specialists and specialists from PETROBRAS Subsidiaries), are
commented by PETROBRAS Units and PETROBRAS Subsidiaries, are approved by the Responsible
Subcommittees - SCs (consisting of specialists belonging to the same specialty, representing the
various PETROBRAS Units and PETROBRAS Subsidiaries), and ratified by the CONTEC Assembly
(consisting of representatives of the PETROBRAS Units and PETROBRAS Subsidiaries). A
PETROBRAS Technical Standard may be submitted to revision at any time by the responsible
specialized Subcommittee and shall be reviewed every 5 years to be revalidated, revised or cancelled.
PETROBRAS Technical Standards are prepared in accordance with PETROBRAS Technical
Standard N - 1. For complete information about PETROBRAS Technical Standards see PETROBRAS
