Conclusion

The process begun with the Order of November 20, 2017 will continue in the direction of drafting professional guides or technical specifications that will cover equipment that is still excluded. A maximum number of ESP pressure equipment will be covered by inspection plans that comply with the requirements of the "Guide des Guides", APITI-AQUAP GGPI 2019-01-rev 0 "Professional guide for the drafting of professional guides and technical specifications used to draw up inspection plans for the in-service monitoring of pressure equipment and simple pressure vessels". This will require the operators concerned to work hard on feedback from the in-service monitoring of their equipment. If this feedback is regularly consolidated and taken into account in the development of inspection plans, it can only be beneficial in enhancing operating safety.
