BR 6.1 Fourth topic te As manifold is an equipment compounded by several components such as valves, control system and connectors, it is very important that theses components are subjected to the qualification testing according to API 6A / ISO 10423 and API 17D / ISO 13628-4.

Change the text to: Performing qualification testing according to this Recommended Practice (for components such as valves, control system and connectors qualification testing shall be performed according to API 6A / ISO 10423 and API 17D / ISO 13628-4).

BR 6.1 Fifth topic te To be clear regarding the prototype shall be subjected to the factory acceptance testing prior to qualification testing.

Adapt the text to: Performing factory acceptance testing of the prototype to be used to perform qualification testing.

BR 6.1 New topic te Product shall be representative of its design and a manner of ensuring it is to define the FAT acceptance criteria during the design validation based on the results of the qualification tests.

Include the following topic: Defining FAT acceptance criteria.

BR 6.2 First paragraph

BR 7.6.3 Table 7.5 te The present document makes reference to DnV-OS-F101, to API 6A and to API 17D, but the minimum average and single energy value (J) recommend are not aligned with any one of these. Also it is not mentioned the test temperature (see that table 7.4 is missing).

Same comment is made below regarding table 7.8 of the document.

The technical committee could note that values listed at DnV-OS-F-101 for minimum absorbed energy and test temperature are really more realistic to materials class equivalent to PSL-2 and/or PSL-3 than the API-6A or API-17D suggested values.

It is also fare to say that the API 6A/17D proposed values for temperature and energy are applicable in a great amount of equipment worldwide. However, the API 6A/17D values are cleared obsolete for shut down conditions of gas systems in artic applications.

As a suggestion, this document should cleared use the reference of one of these standards regarding absorbed energy value in Charpy V-notch impact test and test temperature instead of specify another set of divergent values.

BR 7.9.3.3 Table 7.7 ed Table 7.7 is split in two parts at pages 32 and 33 of the document.

Make table 7.7 in only one segment. Special attention shall be made to avoid heading of tables in one page and entire table in other page.

BR 7.11.1.3.5 Table 7.8 ge Reference for Table 7.4 is made at column “Test Temperature” of the table 7.8 first line. However, there is no table 7.4 is the document.

Include the missing Table 7.4 inside the text of item 7.6.3.

minor. The only obvious change is the 1st paragraph under 7.1 General. (A FDIS of Annex L is scheduled to be finalised October 2009).

NO 7.1 Para. 4 te The current ISO 10474 is from 1991, while the current EN 10204 is from 2004/2005. The previous revision of EN 10204 was identical to ISO 10474, but some changes have been made in the update. Notably 3.1 certificates are in ISO 10474 subdivided into 3.1.A, 3.1.B and 3.1.C, while in the new EN 10204 there are only one type of 3.1 certificate (i.e. 3.1.B is not only 3.1, and “A” and “C” are void). Hence if the reference to ISO 10474 is kept, it is not sufficient to only state “3.1 certificate” – a letter is also needed.

US 5.1.4 Technical

It is generally not possible to leak test isolation valves in large systems full of hydrocarbons before pulling pressure caps. It is much more effective to manage pressures to prevent the release of hydrocarbons to the environment in the event a valve has the potential to leak.

Second bullet in particular. Not all structures are designed for high loads. Deep water structures are not subject to the same risks but often have roof mounted flowline connection hardware, ROV buckets for valves and actuated valve stems for overrides. The "roof" may be intended only to protect against minor impacts without deflection.
