ADOPTED_FROM:ISO 14224:1999
This International Standard provides a comprehensive basis for the collection of Reliability and Maintenance (RM) data in a standard format in the areas of drilling, production, refining and transport by pipeline of petroleum and natural gas.
This International Standard presents guidelines for the specification, collection and quality assurance of RM data,
facilitating the collection of RM data. The data will enable the user to quantify the reliability of the equipment and to compare the reliability of equipment with similar characteristics.
By analysing the data, reliability parameters can be determined for use in design, operation and maintenance.
However, this International Standard is not applicable to the method of analysis for RM data.
The main objectives of this International Standard are:
a) to specify the data to be collected for analysis of:
- system design and configuration;
- safety, reliability and availability of systems and plants;
- life cycle cost;
- planning, optimization and execution of maintenance.
b) to specify data in a standardized format in order to:
- permit exchange of RM data between plants, owners, manufacturers and contractors;
- ensure that RM data are of sufficient quality for the intended analysis.
This International Standard is applicable to all equipment types used in the petroleum and natural gas industry, such as process equipment (used on onshore and offshore installations), subsea equipment, well-completion equipment and drilling equipment. In annex A several examples are included.
This International Standard is applicable to data collected in the operational phase.
Due to the variety of different uses for RM data, it is stressed that, for each data collection programme, attention
should be given to the appropriate level of data required.
NOTE It is recognized that to strengthen the goal of this International Standard, a normative reference detailing all the taxonomy codes for each of these equipment classes is appropriate. However, since no comprehensive taxonomy listing covering all equipment classes exists at the time of publication of this International Standard, a sample of taxonomies for process equipment, subsea equipment, well-completion equipment and drilling equipment is contained in informative annex A.
