Supplementary Specification to ISO 12490 Actuators for On-off Valves
Foreword
This specification was prepared under a Joint Industry Programme 33 (JIP33) "Standardization of Equipment
Specifications for Procurement" organized by the International Oil & Gas Producers Association (IOGP) with
the support from the World Economic Forum (WEF). Companies from the IOGP membership participated in
developing this specification to leverage and improve industry level standardization for projects globally in the
oil and gas sector. The work has developed a minimized set of supplementary requirements for procurement,
with life cycle cost in mind, resulting in a common and jointly approved specification, building on recognized
industry and/or international standards.
Recent trends in oil and gas projects have demonstrated substantial budget and schedule overruns. The Oil
and Gas Community within the World Economic Forum (WEF) has implemented a Capital Project Complexity
(CPC) initiative which seeks to drive a structural reduction in upstream project costs with a focus on industry-
wide, non-competitive collaboration and standardization. The CPC vision is to standardize specifications for
global procurement for equipment and packages, facilitating improved standardization of major projects across
the globe. JIP33 provides the oil and gas sector with the opportunity to move from internally to externally
focused standardization initiatives and provide step change benefits in the sector's capital projects
performance.
This specification has been developed in consultation with a broad user and supplier base to realize benefits
from standardization and achieve significant project and schedule cost reductions.
The JIP33 work groups performed their activities in accordance with IOGP's Competition Law Guidelines
(November 2014).

Introduction
The purpose of this specification is to define a minimum common set of supplement requirements for the
procurement of Actuators for On-Off Valves in accordance with ISO 12490 First Edition, 2011, Petroleum and
natural gas industries — Mechanical integrity and sizing of actuators and mounting kits for pipeline valves, for
application in the petroleum and natural gas industries.
This JIP33 standardized procurement specification follows a common document structure comprising the four
documents as shown below, which together with the purchase order define the overall technical specification
for procurement.
It is required to use all of these documents in conjunction with each other when applying this specification, as
follows.
This specification is written as an overlay to ISO 12490, following the clause structure of the parent standard,
to assist in cross-referencing the requirements. Where clauses from the parent standard (ISO 12490) are not
covered in this specification, there are no supplementary requirements or modifications to the respective
clause. The terminology used within this specification follows that of the parent standard and otherwise is in
accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
Modifications to the parent standard defined in this specification are identified as Add (add to clause or add
new clause), Replace (part of or entire clause) or Delete.
This document provides project specific requirements where this specification requires the purchaser to define
an application specific requirement. It also includes information required by the purchaser for technical
evaluation. Additional purchaser supplied documents are also listed in the data sheet to define scope and
technical requirements for enquiry and purchase of the equipment.
This document defines the information requirements, including format, timing and purpose, for information to
be provided by the vendor. It also defines the specific conditions which must be met for conditional information
requirements to become mandatory. The information requirements listed in the IRS have references to the
source of the requirement.
This document includes a conformity assessment system (CAS) which specifies standardized user
interventions against quality management activities at four different levels. The applicable CAS level is
specified by the purchaser in the data sheet.
The data sheet and IRS are published as editable documents for the purchaser to specify application specific
requirements. The supplementary specification and QRS are fixed documents.
Unless defined otherwise in the purchase order, the order of precedence (highest authority listed first) of the
documents shall be:
a) regulatory requirements;
d) this specification;
