Design – Equipment & Design

There are four levels:

Level 1 - (Quality & Inspection for Manufacture)

Manufacturing, Assembly and Inspection procedures alongside Manufacturing Drawings are checked to ensure equipment meets requirements as specified within the appropriate section(s) of NS-1™ or other Standards such as NS-2™.

Level 2 - (Review for Failure Prevention)

Review ensures that the equipment has been designed with consideration to failure avoidance. Evaluations are conducted based on failure modes more commonly observed when equipment is used for purposes to which they were designed.

Level 3 - (Fitness for Purpose)

Review ensures that equipment has been assessed for functionality with tests performed and witnessed by the reviewing engineer to demonstrate the equipment is capable of meeting and performing the physical functions to which it was designed for.

Level 4 - (Measurement and analysis)

A full process audit to assess, analyse and measure the company’s capability to maintain the necessary engineering and manufacturing controls, on a continual basis, or for the duration of a specific contract life.
