IN THE NAME OF GOD

FOREWORD

By their very nature, technical Specifications are continuously subject to modifications and
revisions. To strengthen their merit and usefulness, continuous improvements, addendum, deletion
of disparate information and consequently provision of updated revisions are to be made in order
to ascertain that such Specifications meet the current requirements, inclusive of Iranian Petroleum
Standards (IPS) and the recognized and acceptable national and international Standards, as well as
the optimal codes and practices based on the accumulated in-house know-how and plant
knowledge and experiences.
However, in reality, due to several reasons, not to mention the complexity of the matter, the
ultimate goal of continuous direct embedment of the required changes on the relevant
Specifications may be far reaching. Therefore, in the interim periods between the officially issued
revisions, the required changes will appear in other documents related to the engineering and
design work of the ongoing projects.
In response to the initiative of the Design and Engineering Directorate, and considering that the
task of the execution of several important and mega projects for the realization of the new oil
refineries, pipelines and oil terminals as well as improvements of the existing facilities, has been
assigned to NIOEC, it was decided to update the NIOEC Specifications and to issue new official
revisions.
The Design and Engineering Directorate was itself entrusted to carry out this important task, and
as such by forming several special technical committees, working in close co-operation and
cohesion and sharing their expertise and knowledge, the updated and revised NIOEC
Specifications were successfully prepared and complied.
These Specifications are intended to be used for Oil Refineries, Distribution Depots, Oil
Terminals, Pipelines and Pump Stations within NIOEC's projects, and have been proven to be of
high value for such purposes. It must however be appreciated that these Specifications represent
the minimum requirements and should in no way be interpreted as a restriction on the use of better
procedures, engineering and design practices or materials.
We encourage and highly appreciate the users and other clear sighted and experts to send their
comments on the Specifications to the Design and Engineering Director of NIOEC for evaluation
and approval.

proposal by Vendor and shall be agreed upon before starting the test. Vendor shall provide all
necessary personnel and test equipment to perform the tests as and when required with the
costs included in the bid price and separately indicated.
13.2.2.The Basic Goals
 To confirm proper design and implementation, demonstrating to the Client’s inspector
that the system meets the Client’s specifications.
 To establish that the system performs properly under load and under conditions of stress.
 To confirm proper system configuration and organization. This may involve; setting
program priorities (for example, which program runs first when several should be run),
interconnection of system modules, etc.
 To look for unanticipated interaction between modules, such as; those which might be
caused by two programs inadvertently sharing the same memory location for different
data.
13.2.3.Quality Assurance Tests
 Quality control shall be as per manufacturer’s quality control standard to assure the good
performance of components/ modules used in the system.

9
 DECEMBER 2017 NIOEC-SP-70-21(2)
 The sampling procedure for the tests will be defined by Clients assigned inspectors.
 The Vendor shall perform all routine tests on the modules in the system or a subsystem
prior to power-up of the system.
 Functional tests for the system may be performed as a rehearsal for the Factory
Acceptance Test at this stage.
Structural tests shall be performed to find defects in isolation and concentrates on missing
paths, wrong paths, and wrong actions within and between software modules. These tests
shall be performed by Vendor’s engineers and programmers intimately involved in the
design and implementation of the system and inspected by Client’s representative. The tests
shall involve all possible paths in a set of sequence logic.
"Functional" and “Structural" tests are both required to prove that a control system works
correctly. "Structural tests" shall be done as the software modules are coded, whereas
"Function tests" shall be performed after the system or the major subsystem is integrated.
The final testing of the total system shall be Functional.
13.2.4.Procedures for Factory Acceptance Test
 The Factory Acceptance Tests shall be performed when all the application software and
data bases have been coded and installed and the Structural tests of individual modules
have been successfully completed.
 The testing shall be performed with simulation system.
 The Client’s assigned inspector will perform this phase of the test and shall be applied to
all hardware and software of the system. The necessary workmanship and co-operation
shall be provided by the Vendor, in addition to all measuring instruments. All the
subsystems shall be interconnected as "per-actual" interconnecting configuration in the
field.
13.2.5.Requirements of Final Factory Acceptance Test
The following paragraphs describe requirements for testing to be performed by Vendor and
witnessed by the Client’s assigned inspectors. Client’s inspectors shall have the right to
perform any test, request for repeat of performing of any test, or request for additional test as
included in the Vendor’s approved proposal test procedure.
13.2.5.1. Visual and Mechanical Tests
Client’s inspectors will carry out visual and mechanical testing principally to assure;
correct, proper, and good workmanship of the equipment.
13.2.5.2. Functional Tests
When all procedures mentioned here-to-fore has been met, as a minimum, and all utility
programs loaded, testing shall proceed preferably with the following steps:
First, the ability of the system to correctly read the field inputs must be confirmed.
Secondly, these inputs shall be manipulated, preferably by appropriate signal sources
connected to the input terminals, and proper operation of the interlock levels checked.
The ability of the operator to access the system will be very important at the computational
safety level (level 2). The interlocks at this level which may have multiple operating
modes shall be tested separately by application of a tester replacing the higher levels for
the purpose of these testing.
The proper operation on the regulatory level shall be checked by suitable tester and by
changing the set-points and other directives, through the operator interface.

10
 DECEMBER 2017 NIOEC-SP-70-21(2)
The sequence levels of a batch control system shall be tested. First, the shared units shall
be tested with their local operator interface, if available, or the central operator interface.
When this operation is confirmed to be correct, testing shall proceed to higher level
functions, as they exist, until it is established that the shared units all respond correctly to
the simulated input signals from the process.
In batch control, the logic for the main process vessels shall be tested (at this point, the
logic is supported by all functionality for the levels below and for the shared units).
Outputs to files for logging and reporting shall be tested; the logging and reporting
programs themselves may be tested later, independently, after it is confirmed that the data
received from the logic are correct.
Software for production scheduling and other higher level functions shall be tested along
with the other batch control software.
All process and equipment failure must be simulated and tested during this period, since
many failure conditions are difficult and/or time consuming to simulate when the system
is connected to the actual process for the field acceptance test.
Software testing shall start with Operating System, then control programs and finally
utility programs.
13.2.5.3. Test Plan Schedule
 The Vendor shall submit his test plan at a suitable time before starting of the test. The
test plan shall demonstrate the properly execution of the functions, features,
performance, and reliability of the system. The tests shall avoid non relevant duplication
and shall provide greatest coverage with fewer test cases.
 Plans are required for both "Structural" and "Functional" tests. The plans should specify
the sequence in which a module or a function is to be tested, the required inputs and the
anticipated results.
 The plan for the "Structural test" shall cover all possible paths of logic in a module, and
an appropriate subset or combinations of the logic paths, by the Vendor’s designer and
programmers’ judgment.
 Client’s representative shall witness all "Structural tests" performed on the modules at
any stage of manufacturing. Therefore, the test plan shall be suitably timed, to enable the
Client’s representative to take part in the tests.

13.3. Tests Records

Each test carried out shall be formally recorded. Any deficiency or problem found in
equipment shall be corrected by the Vendor and exactly recorded. Any changes in
configuration, software or data shall be clearly recorded in test log books.
13.3.1.Performance Test

be transferred to solid state drive (four copies). Two copies shall be shipped separately by
express mail to Client and two other copies shall be shipped with the system.
13.3.3.Final Conclusion of Tests
The Client’s assigned inspectors shall sign all Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) reports and
log books and consequently issue a certificate of shipment on satisfactory completion of
witnessing tests. Vendor shall properly pack the system according to shipping instructions
and packaging specifications furnished to him by Client and forward all equipment to the
Client’s site.
