When larger components are purchased, it is often a good idea to carry out fabrication audits to ensure that the component is made to specification and in accordance with all applicable codes and standards. It should be noted that the manufacturing standards only ensure that manufactured goods fulfils the most basic quality requirements. Considering the total service life of a unit and the annual maintenance requirements, it is most often worth it to carry out a review of drawings and fabrication procedures, to ensure adequate quality, prior to signing a contract.
