1.0 PURPOSE
The purpose of this procedure is to ensure that Non-Inspected items (due to non-availability of
some documents) are positively identified, issued for installation and recorded in order to permit
immediate recall and replacement in the event of nonconformity to specified requirements
2.0 SCOPE
The procedure shall be applicable to all Tagged and Untagged Bulk materials in contract
scope of this project ‘
3.0 REFERENCE
5.0 PROCEDURE
5.1 A quarantine area shall be established at the fabrication site to hold the material
which requires additional documents for compliance. In cases, where the test
certificates or any other supporting documents are not supplied by the vendor,

storekeeper /material controller shall follow-up for the same with procurement
Manager.
5.2 Permanent materials /equipment which are quarantined due to non-availability of
Inspection Release Notes, Mill Certificates or MDRs/MRS's can be released under recall
system provided COMPANY approval is obtained. For each tagged item or bulk items of
the same class / rate / shape and grade, CONTRACTOR Material Controller (MC) will
generate and sign the Positive recall Report (PRR) as per Attachment 1, Sec 1. MC will
assign a UIN for each non-verified material to be released. This number shall be stenciled
on the non-verified material by a suitable marker (low-chloride type for stainless steel
materials). MC will then release the PRR to SPE/CS along with MRS. SPE will attach
marked-up P&IDs /Isometric drawings and location map to highlight the location of use for
the material. The UIN provided by MC shall be transferred on the P&IDs / Isometric
drawings by SPE.
Senior Project Engineer (SPE) will call for a meeting to discuss the schedule and urgency for
release of non-verified material. Attendees shall be CONTRACTOR MC, CONTRACTOR
QA/QC Engineer, CONTRACTOR SPE, RG PE/PM and RG QC. Once all attendees accept
to release such material, CONTRACTOR SPE/CS, Contractor QA/QC Engineer & RG
PE/PM & RG QC shall sign the PRR in respective cells confirming their agreement on early
release (Attachment-1 : Sec-II). After confirmation for release in meeting, MC shall affix
aluminium metal tags to the materials (using SS wires) before release and transfer the
stenciled UIN on the tags. MC shall issue RFI for material receiving inspection of those non-
verified tagged materials before releasing to Contractor. A copy of the PRR shall be
attached to the RFI. QC will inspect the materials without MTC and if visually acceptable, he
will accept the RFI with reference to PRR and will include this outstanding item in QC punch
list. These materials shall then be released to the contractor including PRR (with all
attachments) and MRS. shall be responsible for the installation of these non-verified
materials at the exact locations marked in the relevant drawings attached to the PRR. QC
Inspector shall verify the correct installation as per PRR Attachments.
Recall register will be maintained by MC as per Attachment-3. The problem related to the
materials to be released will be mentioned in both recall report and register under the
section "Remarks".
Note: the use of recall system shall be kept to a minimum. And shall not be used as a mean
to release equipment that is currently subjected to quarantine as result of an ongoing non-
conformance report."
5.3 Recall of Major Equipment
Major equipment means static equipment, rotating equipment, packaged equipment
and so on. Since the major equipment should have its own equipment no., it can be
easily recalled using Equipment List, Plot Plan Drawings and P&IDs.
5.4 Recall of Tagged Items
A tagged item is an item which is assigned with its own Tag No. For instance, control
valves (instrumentation), piping special components (piping), and electrical equipment
will be categorized in this group. These items can be recalled using the relevant key
drawings such as P&IDs, Piping layout drawings, Electrical construction drawings.
5.5 Recall of Non Tagged Bulk Materials
For piping, electrical and instrument non-tagged bulk materials, MC will provide ID tags
for every item being issued. Recall system for these items is by the use of UIN. Refer
to Sec-III of Attachment-1
1) To release non- tagged bulk material items under recall system, MC shall first

assign UIN based on the item number in the drawings and shall enter it in the PRR
together with other pertinent information such as item description, heat , grade, size,
drawing number or P&ID number. Such drawings will be marked up with the UIN
and archived at Material Control Group. The UIN will be assigned per the rules set
in section 4.6.2 here under.
2) To recall the item, use mark-up drawing that shows the unique Identification No.
and the location where the item was installed.
3) In addition to the above, some of these non-tagged bulk materials might have
marking with the Manufacturer’s name or trademark. To check these marks will be
also helpful to confirm the correct recall system.
4) As soon as the report is endorsed for close-out, Material Controller shall update its
Status as "closed" in the Positive Recall Register.
5) The Positive Recall Report will be archived at Material Controller office until the end of
the project.
6) In the event that contract requirements (or specifications) cannot be met, the item(s) Shall
be recalled and be kept in quarantine until further notice and processed according to Non-
Conformance Procedure
1) Recall report numbering shall be registered by QA/QC Engineer in a Punch List that
will be subsequently handed over to COMPANY for information.
2) When the condition reported in PRR is resolved under vendor's guarantee, the
status shall be registered in the Positive Recall Register by MC and the punch
closed by SPE & QA/QC Engineer.

E.g. first Positive Recall Report issued shall be numbered as RGCP-XXX-PRR-001 & so on
Unique identification number (UIN) shall be provided (for non- Tagged bulk materials) in the
