1 INTRODUCTION
In the frame of a project, the performance of CONTRACTOR and of the whole supply chain of
SUBCONTRACTORS represent a key factor to the project’s outcome, with the associated risks
for COMPANY. The challenge for CONTRACTOR is to provide confidence beforehand to
COMPANY that these risks will remain at a reasonable level for the PROJECT.
The key management tool for reaching that goal is an appropriate Quality Management System
(QMS) efficiently implemented by CONTRACTOR and extended to the supply chain that he
controls. As the installation of offshore Pipe-Line System is critical for COMPANY, all the WORK
and in particular engineering activities, CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT and CONTRACTOR
ITEMS, as well as, works performed by other contractors as per CONTRACTOR requirements
are concerned by this EXHIBIT.
2 GENERAL
This EXHIBIT H, defining the quality requirements for the PROJECT. COMPANY’s
expectations with regard to quality are those expressed in the introduction to the ISO 9001:2015.
For CONTRACTOR to perform the WORK in compliance with SPECIFICATIONS and
CONTRACT requirements, COMPANY expects CONTRACTOR to elaborate a Quality
Management System (QMS), in line with ISO 9001:2015 and specific requirements as defined
in this EXHIBIT H and APPENDICES H1, H2, H3 and H4.
CONTRACTOR shall apply the provisions contained in this EXHIBIT as part of the WORK.
Furthermore, CONTRACTOR will impose, as necessary, the requirements expressed within
the present EXHIBIT to their full supply chain, including SUBCONTRACTORS and VENDORS.

CONTRACTOR Quality Record Book. COMPANY shall have access to all the above
documents and records at all times during the execution of the CONTRACT.
Quality Surveillance of SUBCONTRACTORS/VENDORS shall be based on the criticality rating
of a Unit, as per CONTRACT EXHIBIT H, Appendix H4. The CONTRACTOR shall ensure that
the results of the ratings are reflected in:
• The requirements passed on to SUBCONTRACTORS and VENDORS for their Quality
Management which shall be the same as contractual requirements with
CONTRACTOR.
• The level of Quality Surveillance exercised by CONTACTOR upon those
SUBCONTRACTORS and VENDORS.
The Quality Surveillance program of CONTRACTOR may include an audit of Quality
Management System of SUBCONTRACTOR or VENDOR in case of a Unit rated as ‘highly
critical’. Any new, recently-approved SUB-CONTRACTOR/VENDOR shall undergo in-depth
Quality surveillance by CONTRACTOR. The surveillance activity program shall be based on
‘criticality rating 1’. The extent of Quality Surveillance will be in accordance with the
APPROVED Quality Control Plan, Quality Surveillance plan, or Inspection and Test Plan.
A pre-inspection meeting (or/and pre-production meeting, when relevant) will be held to all
SUBCONTRACTOR and VENDOR providing criticality rating 1 or 2 items, as defined in this
CONTRACT EXHIBIT H, Appendix H4, and COMPANY is entitled to be in attendance.
CONTRACTOR will incorporate such planned meetings in their six (6) week look-ahead
surveillance/inspection program. COMPANY will confirm their attendance (or not) during the
related WORK weekly meetings.
Materials, equipment and subcontracted WORK will not be accepted for incorporation into the
WORK unless accompanied by the relevant certificate and/or Quality Records of release,
suitably endorsed and approved by CONTRACTOR and certifying authority, marine warranty
surveyor (MWS), or COMPANY, as required in the relevant Quality Surveillance program.
Before release of materials and equipment, CONTRACTOR inspector will ensure that all code
compliance requirements are met, and that any respective release by a third-party has been
completed with respect to design appraisal, survey, Quality Records (Form X, ASME, etc.).
Similarly, CONTRACTOR will ensure that all Quality Records and certification documentation
are reviewed and accepted before the material and/or equipment is released from the source.
Any certification data that does not comply with the SPECIFICATIONS, code, or regulatory
requirements will be reported and rejected pending resolution. Material and equipment where
certification has been subject to rejection will not be released from source, unless agreed with
COMPANY.
Relevant final inspection release note/checklist will be completed by CONTRACTOR's
inspector prior to release of material or equipment from source VENDOR/SUPPLIER to
WORKSHOPS. Should COMPANY carry-out inspection of equipment and/or material at
SUBCONTRACTOR’s premises, including final performance tests before shipment, such
inspection will not be construed by CONTRACTOR as acceptance of the said equipment and/or
material. COMPANY inspections will not relieve CONTRACTOR of their responsibility to
execute their own inspection program.

8 CERTIFICATION
Refer to CONTRACT EXHIBIT H, Appendix H1. In the frame of the certification policy for the
WORK, PLANT certification by a certifying authority or basic certification when applicable, shall
be implemented. The certifying authority or basic certification shall be contracted by
CONTRACTOR as part of the scope of WORK as an ancillary service through the CONTRACT.
In any case, the verification points by the certifying authority or basic certification shall be
identified in the Project Quality Control Plan.
The certifying authority shall be different from the third-party inspection company used by
CONTRACTOR for its own control and surveillance activities in order to ensure that the
verification judgments are made by an independent party.
Notwithstanding any surveillance and independent verification by certifying authority of
CONTRACTOR or its SUBCONTRACTOR/VENDOR, CONTRACTOR shall remain liable for
the quality of the WORK and for all its obligations under the terms of the CONTRACT.
Should non-conformities be identified on results of WORK during such activities,
CONTRACTOR shall correct them within an agreed period of time at its own expense. Any
surveillance independent verification (inspection, monitoring, survey, etc.) by certifying
authority or basic certification upon CONTRACTOR activities will not remove the ultimate
responsibility of CONTRACTOR for the WORK.
