DEFINITIONS

1.3.1

General definitions
The Contractor is the party which carries out all or part of the design, engineering,
procurement, construction, commissioning or management of a project, or operation or
maintenance of a facility. The Company may undertake all or part of the duties of the
Contractor.
The Manufacturer/Supplier is the party which manufactures or supplies equipment and
services to perform the duties specified by the Contractor.
The Company is the party which initiates the project and ultimately pays for its design and
construction. The Company will generally specify the technical requirements. The Company
may also include an agent or consultant authorised to act for, and on behalf of, the
Company.
The word shall indicates a requirement.
The word should indicates a recommendation.

1.3.2

Specific definitions
Standard - Document, established by consensus and approved by a recognised body, that
provides, for common and repeated use, rules, guidelines or characteristics for activities or
their results, aimed at the achievement of the optimum degree of order in a given context.
External Standard - Standard (e.g. ISO, EN, ANSI, BS, API, ST RK, GOST, SNiP etc.)
issued under the auspices of a non Agip KCO body.
KTS - Kashagan Technical Specification (Internal Standard)
Custodian - Line manager of the Author, or the relevant senior discipline specialist (if
different), responsible for the approval of a Kashagan Technical Specification within the
originating discipline, and ultimately responsible for the contents of the Kashagan Technical
Specification.
Author - Person responsible for identifying the acceptable external standards and
responsible for writing a Kashagan Technical Specification (KTS). The Author acts as the
focal point for questions relating to the content and meaning of a KTS.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Standards Implementation Engineer
Standards Implementation Engineer is responsible for facilitation of the process of
development of the current Document on HVAC Codes & Standards.
All changes in the documents will be discussed with Codes & Standards Group in order to
make it aliened with other disciplines and update/maintain the Access database of External
Codes & Standards.
The Database of External Codes & Standards is updated regularly by AGIP KCO Codes &
Standards Group and updates are automatically fed into the current document and other
way around - the changes of the document are captured in the Database.
The register of (KTS) Kashagan Technical Specifications (Internal standards) is updated
regularly by AGIP KCO Codes & Standards Group and any updates are automatically fed
into the current document and other way around - the changes of the document are
captured in the KTS Register.

HVAC Engineer is responsible for preparation of the current document for HVAC discipline
with the project. These documents are not project specific i.e. do not apply just to offshore
or onshore but to all sections of the project who are dealing with HVAC systems. AGIP
KCO HVAC Engineer who is involved with the actual work is a custodian of the current
document and responsible for update as and when required.

DOCUMENT STRUCTURE

3.1

GENERAL
HVAC Systems for the EP Projects will generally be designed in accordance with the Codes
and Standards listed in Annex 1, except where they are overridden by specific Project
Specifications
For the International and de facto International standards not Registered in RoK any
conflicts shall be identified with the equivalent Republic of Kazakhstan Standards and an
approved deviation shall be obtained from the relevant RoK authority.

3.2

PROCEDURE
The applicable external HVAC codes and standards and project specifications have been
identified in accordance with the Procedure Identification, Developing and Registration of
External Standards and Kashagan Technical Specifications, developed by Codes and
Standards.
This procedure defines the process by which External Standards are added to Agip KCO's
Database of External Standards, and, dependent upon priority level, how these standards
are then registered within the RoK. This procedure also defines the process by which a
Kashagan Technical Specification is developed (or revised), registered within Agip KCO,
and, where applicable, expertized within the RoK.
The Agip KCO External Standards database includes a justification code for why that
particular standard was selected as follows:
Justification Code 1: Recognised International Standards (ISO, IEC, ITU)
Justification Code 2: De facto International standards
Justification Code 3: Industry Standards
Justification Code 4: RoK Standards.
