Post-construction repairs and alterations refers to? - ANSrepairs and alterations to pressure
equipment after all new construction inspection, stamping and certifications on the required
construction data reports have been completed.
Are NBIC, API, and PCC codes and standards adopted as regulations in Alberta? - ANSNBIC,
API, and PCC codes and standards and similar publications are not adopted directly as
regulations in Alberta. Their application is established through reference in this document and
other ABSA policy documents. The Safety Codes Act, regulations and AB-513 requirements
shall govern in the event that there is a conflict between these requirements and any industry
code and standard.
ABSA policy documents were developed through close cooperation with owners andother
stakeholders; their input has been invaluable in compiling this document. In particular, we would
like to acknowledge the input from the following user groups that represent the industry sectors
in Alberta: Name all five? - ANS(ARPIA) Alberta Refinery & Petrochemical Inspection
Association

IMS? - ANSmeans Integrity Management System, which is a system for ensuring that the
pressure equipment is designed, constructed, installed, operated, maintained, and
decommissioned in accordance with the PESR.
Pressure equipment means? - ANSa thermal liquid heating system and any containment for
an expansible fluid under pressure, including, but not limited to, fittings, boilers, pressure
vessels and pressure piping systems, as defined in the regulations. Note: Fired process heaters
that contain an expansible fluid under pressure are covered under this definition.
Pressure piping system means? - ANSpipes, tubes, conduits, fittings, gaskets, bolting andother
components that make up the system for the conveyance of an expansible fluid under pressure
and may also control the flow of the fluid.
Certification means that all the applicable inspection and certification requirements covered in
this document have been completed and certified by the Inspector on the applicable report
form? - ANS(AB-40 for boiler and pressure vessel repairs and alterations).
Legislation that governs the pressure equipment discipline includes the following 6? - ANS1.
