1.0 Purpose

The purpose of this procedure is to identify the types of documents used by Weatherford
Manufacturing facilities and the distribution and control of those documents including documents
of external origin.

2.0 Scope

This procedure applies to all Quality Management System (QMS) documents deemed by
Weatherford Manufacturing facilities to be necessary to ensure the effective planning, operating
and control of its processes.

3.0 Responsibilities

The global quality assurance management group is responsible for ensuring this procedure is
maintained. The site top management and the site management representative are responsible
for ensuring this procedure is implemented, understood, complied with, and communicated.

4.0 Procedure

4.1 Master List

4.1.1 A list of QMS documentation shall be maintained. The document listing is the master list used to
identify and control the documents required by the quality management system and their current
revision status. The master list may be maintained either electronically or hardcopy and is at the
discretion of the site manufacturing facility; however, an electronic format is preferred. In the
event controlled hardcopies of controlled documents are required to be maintained at specific
locations throughout the manufacturing facility, a Document Distribution List shall be maintained
by Quality to control the documents that have been distributed throughout the facility.

4.2 Policy and Objectives

4.2.1 Quality Policy is reviewed for adequacy and approved by Weatherford’s top management prior to
issuance and use. The site top management shall verify the policy is adequate for their facility
and shall document the review during management review and/or upon release of new revisions
to the quality policy. Based on the quality policy, the site quality objectives are established,
reviewed, and approved by site top management prior to issuance and use.

4.2.2 Revision status of the Quality Policy and objectives are identified by revision level and issue date.

4.2.3 A master copy of the current Quality Policy is available on the Exchange. A master copy of the
Quality Objectives is maintained in the event distributed copies are damaged or lost, and to
ensure documents are legible and readily identifiable.

4.2.4 Quality Policy and Quality Objectives are posted throughout the facility at strategic locations and
controlled via a Document Distribution list.
