1 Objective, target group and provision

1.1 Objective
The objective of this document is to describe the general Preservation requirements for Supplier
Packages.

The Preservation activities performed on Supplier Packages form an important basis for subsequent
equipment installation, Commissioning and Start up of the different systems on the project. Resultant
information and specific documentation is also carried forward for utilisation during the production phase.

It is very important that sufficient attention is paid to the fulfilment of the specified requirements.

All Preservation records will be issued through a web based link from the Company completion system
ProCoSys. All necessary information can be found there, and all required documentation/results shall be
given electronically into the system.

1.2 Target group

Package/Equipment Suppliers to projects with tagged equipment

1.3 Provision

2 Requirements

2.1 General
Supplier has the full responsibility for the equipment during manufacturing period and shall deliver the
equipment initially preserved according to his own approved preservation instructions and agreed
Company special preservation requirements.

The preservation instructions shall take into consideration possible situations which may occur during the
complete project period, and the Supplier shall be aware that his preservation instructions and initial
preservation form the basis for preservation maintenance throughout the whole project development
period.

Initial preservation shall be based on outdoor storage under salient weather conditions and for the
applicable project period.

Special Supplier requirements regarding storage and maintenance preservation exceeding minimum
requirements in Company's Preservation Manual shall be specified on Preservation Records.

All skids, equipment, piping and bulk orders shall be clean, dry, dustfree and free from any corrosion prior
to initial preservation and transport.

Prior to release, all in/outlets from units/skids shall be plugged/ blanked. Unless otherwise specified,

similar. In addition the seal surface between lid and valve gear housing shall be sealed using silicone
Grease nipples shall be protected with " Grease nipple cap"

Packing of equipment for transportation shall protect the equipment against humidity, dust and mechanical
stress which may occur during outdoor storage, or loading and unloading operations. The enclosure used
for this purpose shall be constructed so as to allow for stripping down of the unit, enable receival
inspection and maintenance preservation to be carried out and be provided with hatches for access for
lifting, hook-up of piping, electrical/instrument cabling and tubing, without dismantling the entire enclosure.

Note: Under no circumstances shall preservation products containing hazardous chemicals be used.

2.2 Special instructions for electrical and electronic equipment

All electrical and electronic equipment exposed to humidity shall be protected with vapour corrosion
inhibitor VCI, according to Manufacturers recommendation.

Insulation resistance:

All electrical equipment shall have the insulation resistance measured for motors, heaters, generators,
converters and transformers". Measurements shall be recorded on preservation record EP-01.
Measurements must be taken and recorded not more than 1 month prior to delivery date.

2.5 Documentation

2.5.1 Preservation record

The Preservation Records will, after being filled in and signed by Supplier in ProCoSys and verified by
Company or his Representative, document that preservation is performed in accordance with the projects
requirements.

One of the following codes will be given on the Preservation Record:

Status "OK"
This status means that the Supplier has completed the check items and there is no further work
associated with these inspections.

Status "PA"
This means that the Supplier has not completed all work or checks associated with this tag. "PA" means in
principal that work must be completed prior to delivery. If the supplier is unable to complete the work prior
to delivery, acceptance of the applicable equipment must be agreed with Company or his representative.

The outstanding work or checks shall be recorded on a Punch List by clicking on the Punch List button on
the screen and fill in the information.

If an inspection item on the Preservation Record is not applicable for the Supplier, the Supplier shall mark
this item with “NA”
