Introduction
th
This document is based on NORSOK M-650, 4 edition, which was developed by the Norwegian
petroleum industry to ensure adequate safety, value added and cost effectiveness for petroleum
industry developments and operations.
The conformity assessment requirements provide a Scheme for manufacturers to demonstrate their
competence and experience to manufacture the relevant material grades and product forms. The
intention is that a manufacturing procedure conformity record (MPCR) accepted by one customer
should also be acceptable for other customers, within the essential variables of this document.
This document includes the following annexes that are either normative or informative:
— Annex A provides the Manufacturing Procedure Summary front page and examples (informative);
— Annex B contains the Temperature Uniformity Survey with additional requirements to Annex M of
ISO 10423:2009 and ASTM A991-10 (normative);
— Annex C provides an example of verification of the heat treatment procedure (informative);
— Annex D contains requirements related to fasteners (normative);
— Annex E contains requirements related to induction bending in the case of testing for qualification
of bends without post-bend heat treatment (normative);
— Annex F contains requirements for the assessment of testing laboratories (normative);

4 Responsibilities
4.1 Purchaser's responsibilities
The purchaser is responsible for ensuring that the manufacturers engaged for a project are qualified
within the essential variables of this document. Existing manufacturer’s procedure conformity records
(MPCRs) shall be reviewed for conformance with this document. Manufacturers unknown to the
purchaser should in addition be visited.
Acceptance of an MPCR and the manufacturer chosen are at the discretion and determination of the
purchaser.
The purchaser is not exempted from his responsibility for quality surveillance of his subcontractors,
even if these fulfil the requirements of this document.
4.2 Manufacturer’s responsibilities
The manufacturer is responsible for establishing and maintaining required documentation and
carrying out verification and testing in accordance with this document.
A manufacturer conforming to this document assumes the obligation to carry out manufacturing
and establish material/test certificates of products in accordance with the qualified Manufacturing
Procedure Summary (MPS), including all referenced procedures. If an order requiring conformance
with this document is outside the qualified range as defined in 10.2.15, the purchaser shall be informed.
4.3 Qualifying Company’s responsibilities
The Qualifying Company shall monitor the conformity assessment activities, review and finally approve
the resulting MPCR by signing and stamping the MPCR front page (see Annex G).
ISO 17782:2018(E)
The Qualifying Company person signing the MPQR shall have the following,
a) a relevant education on bachelor level from a university college or equal;
b) good knowledge of metallurgical aspects of the applicable alloys, which shall be evaluated, including
phase and transformation diagrams, effects of hot forming, welding, heat treatment, testing, etc.;
c) relevant knowledge of the manufacturing process(es) to be evaluated;
d) in-depth knowledge and understanding of this document;
e) previous experience with this document or received guidance/supervision from a person with
previous qualification experience with this document.
The Qualifying Company shall be independent of the manufacturer.
NOTE Qualification (conformity assessment) experience with NORSOK M-650 Ed. 4 is considered equal to
conformity assessment experience with this document.
5 Conformity assessment of manufacturers
5.1 Conformity assessment
The conformity assessment shall be carried out in cooperation with and verified by the Qualifying
Company. The conformity assessment shall be carried out as either
a) a second-party conformity assessment activity (see definition in 3.1.13), or
b) a third party conformity assessment activity (see definition in 3.1.20), but only where the third
party is accepted as a competent Qualifying Company by Company, Main Contractor or Purchaser.
A Qualifying Company can be engaged:
a) through projects for which the manufacturer has specific orders; that is, through contact between
the manufacturer and the Companies, Main Contractors or Purchasers;
b) through a third party in cases where manufacturer wants to be evaluated without having any
specific orders. In such cases the acceptance of the Qualifying Company and of the MPCR shall be
by future customers prior to purchase order placement. Acceptance may be indicated by counter
signature of the MPCR front page as specified in 5.5.
5.2 Basis for assessment of manufacturers
The manufacturer, including any nominated subcontractors, shall have:
a) knowledge and relevant manufacturing experience with the type of material to be qualified
(see Clause 7);
b) acceptable manufacturing facilities and equipment (see Clauses 7 and 9);
c) an established MPS (procedure) covering all manufacturing steps from melting or start material,
as defined in Table 1, column “Type of start material”, to finished product (see Clause 8);
d) an established heat treatment procedure (see Clause 9);
e) a management system that conforms with the requirements of ISO 9001 or equivalent;
f) satisfactory verification test results in conformance with this document (see Clause 10).
6 © ISO 2018 – All rights reserved

ISO 17782:2018(E)
5.3 Evaluation for conformity
The Qualifying Company shall carry out a review and inspection of the manufacturing facilities,
equipment, implementation of procedures and documentation, as required by this document, on the
premises of the manufacturer and his subcontractors.
The results of the evaluation shall be documented in an evaluation report or minutes of meeting (MOM).
5.4 Review of manufacturing procedure conformity record (MPCR)
A complete MPCR with content in accordance with Clause 11 shall be established for review.
The only way to qualify a manufacturing procedure is to fulfil all the requirements of this document. It
is not possible to deviate from this document with respect to being qualified. When all requirements in
this document are fulfilled, the MPCR front page (see Annex G) shall be signed off and stamped by the
Qualifying Company.
5.5 Statement of conformity
The original MPCR front page (see Annex G), completed with all data indicated in Annex G and signed
by the Qualifying Company, is the only valid proof of conformity in accordance with this document.
Where a party authorized by the Company, Main Contractor or Purchaser is used as the Qualifying
Company, the Company, Main Contractor or Purchaser who has given the authorization shall co-sign the
MPCR front page to confirm their acceptance of the MPCR.
NOTE ISO does not keep any listing of qualified manufacturers who are accepted in accordance with this
document.
6 Validity of the manufacturer procedure conformity record (MPCR)
6.1 Term of validity
The manufacturer’s MPCR is valid for a maximum of five years starting from the date of signing and
stamping of the MPCR front page. For new manufacturers, see 7.1.2.
For renewal of an existing MPCR according to 6.2, the renewal is valid for a maximum of five years
starting from the expiry date of the original conformity assessment.
The conformity assessment is valid within the parameters specified in 10.2.
6.2 Renewal of the MPCR
The MPCR from a manufacturer with regular production of the originally conformity assessed products
and alloys to a valid MPS is considered renewed without additional testing provided that production
testing records are retained that demonstrate continued conformance to the specifications employed
for the original conformity assessment. It is a prerequisite that applicable requirements of this
document are complied with.
A renewal shall be initiated prior to the expiry date of the existing MPCR. If this is not the case, a
complete new conformity assessment shall be carried out.
The following actions shall be executed for a renewal of the conformity assessment:
a) evaluating and reviewing the manufacturer's and subcontractors’ premises according to 5.3 by the
Qualifying Company;
b) reviewing and updating the MPS and referred procedures and making a decision wheth
