Topic #: 1
RBI plans identify equipment that does not require inspection or some other form of mitigation because of the acceptable level of risk associated with the equipment's current operation. In this way, inspection and maintenance activities can be:
A.
more focused and cost effective.
B.
eliminated for all low consequence equipment.
C.
conducted while the equipment is on-line instead of during turnarounds.
“The RBI plans also identify equipment that does not require inspection or some other form of mitigation because of the acceptable level of risk associated with the equipment’s current operation. In this way, inspection and maintenance activities can be focused and more cost-effective.”
Options B, C, and D introduce concepts not aligned with the API definition. Option A correctly captures the intent and benefit of an RBI-based plan.
