2 Purpose
The objective of this document is to provide guidance on how to apply Guidance on
Certification (GOC) to suit maintenance and operational needs, activities managed by
Engineering, Modifications and Maintenance (EMM) contractors and respective manning
and management structures typically found on an operating facility.

2.1 Risk Management

This document, along with Full GOC (namely intranet site http://goc.bpweb.bp.com/)
should be used on all Exploration and Production (E&P) segment projects in the United
Kingdom Continental Shelf (UKCS).
Note: The Full GOC is the federal Guidance on Certification that has been successfully
implemented on projects and Turnarounds (TARs) around the world and which
has its own intranet site containing all of the manuals and certificates in addition
to product news and information (http://goc.bpweb.bp.com/).
Some supplementary requirements for this region, which have not yet been incorporated
into the global manuals and certificates, are contained in Addendum 5.

July 2009 Issue 4 1

 UKCS-TI-019 Guidance on Certification

2.1.1 Best Practice

GOC is recognised federally as ‘best practice’ for demonstrating that Technical Integrity (TI)
has been achieved and/or maintained during construction, commissioning and handover
of new plant.
Note: TI is the condition of a plant that meets its design criteria and intended purpose.
If deviations exist, these have been identified and assessed, and all changes
necessary to ensure continued safe, efficient operation have been implemented.

3 Scope
This document applies to all North Sea Strategic Performance Unit (SPU) assets in the
UKCS and onshore in the UK.
Uncontrolled when Printed

The following main elements of the GOC process, as it is applied to maintenance and
operations, are addressed:
 The TI assurance process and handover control gates
 The business process flow (including prerequisites for GOC implementation)
 Roles and responsibilities
 Identification of certification requirements
 GOC implementation for multiple scopes of work
 Certification tracking and archiving
 Training and coaching
 Audit

4 Roles and Responsibilities

4.1 Site Manager
The Site Manager is the overall owner of the TI process and will ensure that
maintenance and operations are appropriately controlled by certification, utilising the
GOC process.
The Site Manager will be accountable for signing as Accepting Authority for all System
Handover Certificates (SH1s).

4.2 Department Head (Operating Authority)

The Department Head will ensure that GOC requirements are identified at the Long
Term Planning meeting and that all aspects of:
 GOC are planned and executed to ensure that TI is maintained
 The GOC System employed will be fully auditable

2 July 2009 Issue 4

 Guidance on Certification UKCS-TI-019

4.3 Area Authority

The Area Authority will ensure that certification being used for maintenance tasks is
adequate for the work being carried out and that the correct cross-references are
indicated within the certification pack.
He/she will also ensure that the performing bodies have taken all steps to ensure that
the system/equipment is safe, by raising the System Safe Certificate (SS1) prior to work
commencing. He/she must be assured that all statutory and legislative requirements are
complied with, and that the certification is fully signed by a Competent Person(s) prior to
acceptance of the equipment from the Job Officer. The Area Authority will be required to
sign as Accepting Authority for all Mechanical Completions Certificates (MC1s).

4.4 Job Officer

Uncontrolled when Printed

The Job Officer will be responsible for ensuring that the Limits of Systems Handover
(LOSH), Discipline Certificates and Handover Certificates (SS1, MC1 and SH1) have been
specified for jobs which have been approved and scheduled in the Long Term Plan (refer
to Addendum 1).
In addition, he/she will:
 Accept the SS1 prior to work commencing and ensure that all certificates are
correctly completed by the pre-designated responsible engineer/technician
 Maintain the GOC database as appropriate
 Ensure that the certification pack will guarantee TI
If an additional certificate is added to the certification package, the Job Officer will
ensure that the data is added to the database. The database will be updated on
completion of the task, after all signatures have been added to the certification.

4.5 Guidance on Certification Site Focal Point

The GOC Site Focal Point will:
 Ensure that the site maintains all prerequisites to ensure ease of GOC implementation
 Assist the Job Officer to generate handover mnemonics and certification
requirements specific to each scope of work
 Maintain and oversee the update of the GOC database
 Ensure that a full training and competence record is maintained
 Keep the master list of approved certification signatories
Initially the GOC Site Focal Point will maintain the database until personnel become
familiar with the simple inputs on a day-by-day basis. He/she should also hold a briefing
session leading up to, and following, implementation. Coaching will be on a one-to-one
basis as and when certification packs are being compiled.

 UKCS-TI-019 Guidance on Certification

4.6 Site Planner

The Site Planner will be responsible for ensuring that:
 All jobs are identified in the Long Term Plan
 All jobs approved are detailed in the Short Term Plan
 The Job Officer has been notified of the forthcoming certification requirement
and implementation

4.7 Certification Signatories

It is the responsibility of signatories to ensure they are familiar with, and understand,
what they are signing and that the certificates are signed at the appropriate time.

The planning phase ensures that all requirements have been fully defined and approved,
within the site Long Term Plan, and that the job is ready to execute.
The TI assurance phase ensures that the job is executed safely and is fully installed and
tested prior to energisation or introduction of hydrocarbons.
The three handover control gates are:
 Safety: System Safe Certificate (SS1)
 Installation: Mechanical Completions Certificate (MC1)
 Ready to Operate: System Handover Certificate (SH1)

6 Business Process Flow

Maintaining TI of process plant and utilities, during maintenance and operations, is made
easy by following the four basic steps defined below and translated into the Handover
Process Flowchart (Figure 1) and the Business Process Flowchart (refer to Figure 2).
For each new scope of work, the site shall implement the GOC requirements within
these four guiding principles:
(1) Plan Requirements:
 Establish a Long Term Plan for Turnarounds (TARs) and maintenance activities
 Establish site-specific system mnemonics based upon the guidelines within Full
GOC (http://goc.bpweb.bp.com/) (refer to Addendum 2 for an overview)
 Generate a set of composite site Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs)
Uncontrolled when Printed

fully marked up into Functional Systems (a method for breaking down a

complete plant into operational systems, which can logically be constructed and
commissioned together. This approach enables the commissioning plan to
integrate the construction work to the benefit of the overall execution plan)
 Define the LOSH, including isolations
(2) Perform the Work:
 Identify and generate the required certification
 Assign responsibilities and authorities for certification completion
 Implement the supportive test procedures specific to each certificate within
GOC during installation and testing
 Record satisfactory completion of the inspection or test on the GOC Certificate
or instigate remedial action
 Implement the Handover Process Gates, ie SS1, MC1 and SH1
(3) Measure the Work:
 Provide an audit trail to demonstrate that all activities have been closed out,
by ensuring that all tagged items have been completed and certified by entering
completion dates into the GOC database
(4) Improvements:
 Continuous development of BP and contractor personnel through training
 GOC System improvement feedback to UKCS Single Point of Contact (SPC) and
site focal points
 GOC System improvements to meet changing legislation and BP Health,
Safety, Security and Environment (HSSE) requirements
 Periodic audit of TI process, initiated by UKCS SPC and performed by QEDi
Technical Authority (Aberdeen) Inspection Service and/or others
The business process flow and responsibilities for each stage and activity within the
GOC process for maintenance and operations are defined in Figure 2.

Figure 3 Certification Requirements Flowchart

It is essential that each job activity is assessed on an individual basis, depending upon its
technical complexity and service.
(1) All modifications and/or work carried out under EMM contractor management will
use the GOC database and Full GOC (http://goc.bpweb.bp.com/) (and the
TI assurance flowcharts therein).
(2) BP-managed activities will utilise facility-specific mnemonics and the appropriate
GOC certification requirements of Figure 3.
(3) A TAR can be a combination of (1) and (2).

8 Multiple Scope of Work Types

8.1 Work Types
There are three work types that may be carried out on a site at any one time:
 Modifications
 Multi-discipline maintenance activities
 Single-discipline maintenance activities
These can be managed by BP or by the EMM contractor. This process facilitates all three
work types taking place at the same time, under both types of management.

8.2 Work Managed by the Engineering, Modifications and

Uncontrolled when Printed

Maintenance Contractor
Most construction work on a site is managed through the EMM contractor and,
therefore, the EMM, construction and commissioning authorities must demonstrate that
TI has been achieved.
Full GOC is ideal for construction projects (both green and brown field) due to the way in
which it controls and monitors TI from the project SS1, through MC1, to completion and
SH1 (refer to http://goc.bpweb.bp.com/). This, along with the accessibility to the GOC
database, provides the necessary auditable trail which makes Full GOC the correct tool
to demonstrate that TI has been achieved.
The contractor must therefore use the Full GOC and apply the TI assurance flowcharts
defined therein.

8.3 BP-managed Site Modifications or Maintenance Activities

Each site will have a GOC database that registers and allocates the next operations and
maintenance raised handover mnemonics.
By applying the certification requirements (Figure 3), the correct application of GOC can
be identified for most activities.
This enables the site to use the certification required to control and demonstrate that
TI has been maintained, relative to the task at hand.

8.4 Concurrent Working

TARs and other situations may have both BP and EMM contractor-managed work
occurring simultaneously, which will result in different work parties applying for work on
the same systems within the same timeframe. It is essential that the contractor and
BP maintenance and operations personnel work together, to create a coherent,
unified certification package.
Figure 4 demonstrates how EMM contractor-managed work can be undertaken
simultaneously with BP-managed work, utilising the correct level of TI planning and
assurance.

9 Certification Tracking
GOC certification will be tracked utilising the GOC database, which will be used for both
BP-managed and EMM contractor-managed workscopes.
It will be the responsibility of the Job Officer to raise and control certification associated
with the task that he/she is controlling. Initially, this will be carried out with coaching by
the GOC Site Focal Point until such time as individuals are competent to carry out this
task on a stand-alone basis.
The tracking of certification serves two purposes:
(1) To provide information of the current state of any particular task and to provide
Platform personnel, not directly involved with a particular task, with up-to-date
information regarding the task status.
Uncontrolled when Printed

It is the responsibility of the Job Officer to update the GOC database, at the end of
each shift, to reflect the certification status.
It is the responsibility of individuals, who are required to sign a certificate, to
ensure that they have contacted the Job Officer to sign the certificate(s) in
question prior to going off shift and under no circumstances are they to demobilise
leaving any certification unsigned.
It is the responsibility of the Job Officer to ensure that certification signatures
are obtained and that the GOC database and process is closed out, unless an
‘Assigned Person’, according to Figure 2, has been appointed to this function.
(2) To provide an auditable trail of all certification, Punch Lists and handover status.
The GOC database is constructed for the purpose of tracking certification and to
store information with regard to completed certification.
The method of archiving of hard copy certificates, as either electronic CD-ROM
files or hardback original certification dossiers, will form part of the documentation
strategy for the site. This must, however, comply with BP HSSE and technical
requirements, in addition to current legislation.

10 Training and Coaching

The coaching role adopted by the GOC Site Focal Point is to ensure that individuals are
fully supported until they are competent to compile and control a certification pack. It is
recommended that personnel attend a 1-day refresher course every 3 years in order to
be made aware of developments, updates and revisions to the GOC.
The GOC Site Focal Point will maintain a competence register, to demonstrate that all
individuals have attended the 1-day, company-specific GOC training course.
The expectation is that the version of GOC described in this document will be
much easier to use for maintenance and operations activities than the Full GOC
(http://goc.bpweb.bp.com/), but the Site Focal Point must ensure that those requiring a
refresher course are offered this as part of their ongoing professional development.

July 2009 Issue 4 11

 UKCS-TI-019 Guidance on Certification

To ensure that personnel fully understand the process, the following will be carried out,
post-job implementation by the Site Focal Point:
 A method of encouraging constructive feedback to be set up, to determine if the
process is working correctly and effectively
 Regular TI meetings to be set up, to monitor progress

11 Audit
Periodic audits will be scheduled by the UKCS SPC and performed by QEDi and/or
others, to ensure that TI compliance is achieved and that GOC is being correctly
implemented.
The UKCS SPC shall manage quarterly review meetings with Site Focal Points and
Uncontrolled when Printed

QEDi, to ensure that lessons learned and improvements are captured and implemented.
QEDi shall ensure that all lessons learned and improvements are shared with BP
Global SPCs.

Addendum 1
Planning Process

1 Planning
Jobs appearing on the Long Term Plan will indicate if a Guidance on Certification (GOC)
certification pack is required. The Job Officer will ensure that a complete pack is
compiled prior to a task moving to the Short Term Plan. Jobs which occur after the Short
Term Plan has been issued will be added after the certification pack has been compiled.
The Job Officer will ensure that the certification pack details the correct Maximo
cross-references.
Uncontrolled when Printed

Jobs requiring certification, or without a certification pack, should not appear on the
3-day plan, unless it is a high priority job for which permission is given by the
Department Head.
The final review of a task at the permit meeting should determine if a job without a
required certification pack is to be allowed to go ahead.

2 Summary
 No job requiring certification will be allowed to go ahead without permission of
management
 Certification packs are to be compiled as a normal part of job planning
 Priority 1 jobs will be treated on an individual basis dependent on the criticality
It should be noted that, in most cases, a certification pack can be compiled in less
time than the decision-making process takes.

Addendum 2
Mnemonics as Applied to
Maintenance and Operations

Guidance on Certification (GOC) mnemonics (mnemonics being the Greek word for memory)
detail the nine Primary ‘Functional’ Systems on any one facility. The nine Primary Systems can
be further sub-divided into a 2-digit Secondary System. A set of composite Piping and
Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) or Single Line Diagrams (SLDs) detail the limit of each
Primary and Secondary System, therefore creating a ‘Road Map’ of the facility, detailing all the
‘A’ roads (Primary Systems) and all the ‘B’ roads (Secondary Systems).
Uncontrolled when Printed

By having this functional system map of the facility, BP can pinpoint exactly all of the
equipment to be worked upon and, equally important, identify all the Primary and Secondary
Systems that will be affected by the work. By knowing this data, BP can plan efficiently when
and how to carry out the work.
Systems are divided into Functional Systems, which then can be sub-divided into a 2-digit
Secondary System.

Addendum 3
Handover Limits as Applied to Modifications

As previously stated, Engineering, Modifications and Maintenance (EMM) contractors are to

use Full Guidance on Certification (GOC) (http://goc.bpweb.bp.com/). Therefore, where a
maintenance task falls within a construction project modification, the maintenance task will be
aligned to the construction project handover by giving the maintenance task the next
Mechanical Completions Certificate (MC1) number and linking the Maintenance MC1 to the
Project System Handover Certificate (SH1) number.
All site works will be system-based. To this end, GOC for maintenance and operations is ideally
aligned to this scenario. Again, where a construction project encapsulates a maintenance
Uncontrolled when Printed

routine or task, the maintenance routine or task will be linked to the Construction SH1 number
as previously described. Any maintenance work that is to be completed within the SH1
boundary will be captured by an MC1. The SH1 flowchart in Figure 1 demonstrates this
principle.

Addendum 4
Notes on Completion of Individual Certificates

In order to ensure that original Guidance on Certification (GOC) certificates for site maintenance
tasks can be easily used, the following manual changes can be undertaken:
 Isolation Control Certificate Reference (ICC-xxxxx) can be inserted into any blank boxes or
comments field

JI1 Joint Integrity Certificate

For breaking of containment, the Certification Requirements Flowchart (refer to Figure 3 in the
Uncontrolled when Printed

main text) is very specific with regard to what/if GOC should be applied. Where no System
Safe Certificate (SS1)/System Handover Certificate (SH1) is required, mnemonics will be issued
and cross-referenced to the Maximo job card to provide a clear, auditable trail. Technicians
must ensure that a reference to the mnemonic number is entered on the job card.

SL1 Leak Test Certificate

Whenever a Joint Integrity Certificate (JI1) is used on high risk pipe work, a leak test and Leak
Test Certificate (SL1) will normally be required. The exception to this rule is when a leak test
cannot be achieved; in this case, a controlled service test will be performed (refer to
Paragraph 6.14 of Safe Isolation and Reinstatement of Plant (NSSPU-GP-44-40-1) and the details
of this will be captured on the JI1.
The Job Officer will fill in the certificate header details. For maintenance and operations
certification, an SL1 with the task details is to be passed to the Area Authority, or his delegate,
who will identify the limits of leak test and test points. The Area Authority will also attach a
marked up Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID), which will then be added to the
certification pack.
The contractor will include a completed SL1, with the leak test details populated and the test
limits highlighted on a P&ID that clearly shows the test points. The leak test details will be part
of the preliminary work pack which is sent to site; the Area Authority, or his delegate, will
confirm/amend the limits of leak test and test points accordingly. The Area Authority will also
attach a marked up P&ID to the preliminary work pack and pass this back to the construction
contractor for inclusion in the Rev C1 AFA work pack.
Prior to leak testing, the technician who will carry out the leak test will check the SL1 limits and
confirm that the test limit envelope captures all areas that break containment.

PL1 Punch List

Where a Punch List (PL1) is used for maintenance, or for an operations project, the job limits
will be walked by the Job Officer and the Area Authority (or designate if the Area Authority is
not technically competent to punch out the job in question).

Notes on Completion of Individual Certificates

July 2009 Issue 4 Add 4-1
 UKCS-TI-019 Guidance on Certification

A single PL1 will be used to cover all disciplines. As with Full GOC, all ‘A’ items will require
rectification prior to final commissioning; any outstanding ‘B’ items will be cleared from the PL1
by raising Maximo jobs to carry out the remedial work (http://goc.bpweb.bp.com/).
All disciplines will sign the PL1; if no items are found within a particular discipline, the PL1 will
