Purpose
 The purpose of API 580:
• To provide users with the basic elements for
developing, implementing, and maintaining a
risk-based inspection (RBI) program.
• It provides guidance to owners, operators, and
designers of pressure-containing equipment
for developing and implementing an
inspection program.

The Expected Outcome from the


Application of the RBI Process
 The expected outcome from the application of
the RBI process should be the linkage of risks
with appropriate inspection, process control or
other risk mitigation activities to manage the
risks.

The RBI Process is Capable of


Generating
1. A ranking by relative risk of all equipment
evaluated

2. A detailed description of the inspection plan to be


employed for each equipment item, including:
• Inspection method(s) that should be used [e.g.
visual, ultrasonic (UT), radiography, wet
flourescent magnetic particle]

• Extent of application of the inspection


method(s) (e.g. percent of total area examined
or specific locations)

The RBI Process is Capable of


Generating
• Timing of inspections/examinations (inspection
intervals/due dates)

• Risk management achieved through


implementation of the inspection plan

The RBI Process is Capable of


Generating
3. A description of any other risk mitigation activities
[such as repairs, replacements or safety equipment
upgrades equipment redesign or maintenance,
integrity operating windows (IOWs), and controls on
operating conditions]

4. The expected risk levels of all equipment after the


inspection plan and other risk mitigation activities have
been implemented

5. Identification of risk drivers

RBI Benefits
 The primary work products of the RBI
assessment and management approach are
plans that address ways to manage risks on an
equipment level. These equipment plans
highlight risks from a safety/health/environment
perspective and/or from an economic standpoint.
RBI plans should include cost-effective actions
along with a projected risk mitigation.
Implementation of these plans provides one of
the following:
a) An overall reduction in risk for the facilities
and equipment assessed
Section 1b
b) An acceptance/understanding of the current
Haward Technology Middle East 7
risk

RBI Limitations
 RBI is based on sound, proven risk assessment
and management principles. Nonetheless, RBI
will not compensate for:
a) Inaccurate or missing information
b) Inadequate designs or faulty equipment
installation
c) Operating outside the acceptable IOWs
d) Not effectively executing the plans
e) Lack of qualified personnel or teamwork
f) Lack of sound engineering or operational
judgment

Using RBI as a Continuous Improvement


Tool
 RBI offers the added advantage of identifying
gaps or shortcomings in the effectiveness of
commercially available inspection technologies
and applications. In cases where technology
cannot adequately and/or cost-effectively
mitigate risks, other risk mitigation approaches
can be implemented. RBI should serve to guide
the direction of inspection technology
development, and hopefully promote a faster and
broader deployment of emerging inspection
technologies as well as proven inspection
technologies that may be available but are
Section 1b underutilized. Haward Technology Middle East 9

RBI as an Integrated Management


Tool
 RBI is a risk assessment and management tool
that addresses an area of risk management not
completely addressed in other organizational risk
management efforts such as process hazards
analyses (PHA), IOWs or reliability centered
maintenance (RCM). Integration of these risk
management efforts, including RBI, is key to the
success of a risk management program.

Scope
 Industry Scope
• Although the risk management principles and
concepts that RBI is built on are universally
applicable, this RP is specifically targeted at
the application of RBI in the hydrocarbon and
chemical process industry.

Flexibility in Application
 Because of the broad diversity in organizations’
size, culture, federal and/or local regulatory
requirements, this RP offers users the flexibility
to apply the RBI methodology within the context
of existing corporate risk management practices
and to accommodate unique local circumstances.
 Many types of RBI methods exist and are
currently being applied throughout industry. This
document is not intended to single out one
specific approach as the recommended method
for conducting an RBI effort. The document
instead is intended to identify and clarify the
essential elements of an RBI analysis and
program.

Mechanical Integrity Focused


 The RBI process is focused on maintaining the
mechanical integrity of pressure equipment
items and minimizing the risk of loss of
containment due to deterioration. RBI is not a
substitute for a PHA or hazard and operability
assessment (HAZOP).
