SECTION 1: COMPANY QUALITY POLICY


The intent of this Quality Manual is to define the Quality Assurance/Quality Control requirements to be implemented within Manar Arabian Corporation (MACO) and for each project, and to ensure that all Quality related activities are planned adequately to cover all parameters specified in each contract. MACO will ensure that vendors, suppliers, fabricators and subcontractors have in place a Quality Assurance Program that meets applicable requirements of this Quality Plan including conformity with the applicable requirements of ISO 9001/2000 and other applicable Engineering Standards of each Proponent. The Quality Plan describes a system of QA/QC procedures and processes encompassing documentation, material, engineering, procurement, construction, installation, testing and pre-commissioning. The prime objective of the Management of MACO is to provide a uniform system for the performance, monitoring, quality assurance, safety & loss prevention reporting activities and controlling of all contract and work activities in a manner which conform to contractual requirements. In order to achieve this objective, it is the policy of MACO to establish and maintain an efficient and effective quality control and quality assurance program, planned and developed in conjunction with all management functions. Determination of conformance of work to contract requirements is verified on the basis of objective evidence of quality. The quality assurance program of MACO is based upon the requirements of Schedule Q Quality Assurance and Quality Control, Inspection and Testing, and Quality Construction Procedures of each contract. MACO Quality Manual and the systems included therein, describe how the quality assurance program of MACO is designed to ensure that all quality requirements are recognized and that a consistent and uniform control of these requirements is adequately maintained. MACOs Quality Manual also defines how effective control is established. No company can be successful without satisfied customers. Our success has been achieved by a continuing commitment, to our customers, to provide them with what was promised. This lies at the very heart of our quality objectives. We have always taken on board the definition of quality as being first time conformance to defined requirements. Moreover, we have adopted the premise that quality is driven by and defined by the customer. In short, we have a strong customer focus and are convinced that quality is what the customer says it is.

QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL MANUAL Doc. No. MACO-QM-001 Rev. 0

The function of this Quality Manual (QM) therefore is to describe and set out the general quality policies, Construction Procedures and practices of all Proponents and MACO. It serves as a reference between the Proponents Quality Requirements and MACOs internal Quality Management System. It is a management tool to keep employees of MACO, as well as to its subcontractors, aware of the responsibilities with the internal quality approach and can be used for marketing. It is also a suitable training document. It can reduce the learning curve due to employee turnover and can assist in the continuity of events in such case. Measurement of the cost of quality must be a fundamental consideration in design, in the development and in the maintenance of the system. The need to impose discipline, where it was previously not considered necessary, can only be achieved if the potential rewards of improvement profitability and turnover are appreciated by the ill disciplined. A person who makes no mistakes makes nothing and will never gain experience. However, the secret is to build upon ones mistake and never repeat them. This is the basic principle of Quality Management and it is the prime reason why a formal Quality System must be introduced. As companies grow and their organization and structure become more complex, the informal systems which served MACO well when it was smaller can no longer be tolerated. Quality Management is a key ingredient in maintaining the continuous success of MACO. There will always be a danger that the discipline, which it imposes on us, will be regarded by some as an additional layer of bureaucracy. This we will guard against at all times. The principle of Quality Management must be company wide. In fact, they must extend even further and become a cooperative venture between our sub-contractors and ourselves. This is fundamental to the eventual success of sub-contracts since our sub-contractors must also take on board our definition of quality and establish documents and maintain effective and economical Quality Systems to ensure and demonstrate that products i.e. results of activities of processes, conform to specified Proponents Quality requirements. This Quality Manual, and the typical procedures outlined herein describe how MACO Quality Management System is designed to ensure that quality requirements are recognized and that consistent and uniform control of these requirements is adequately maintained. The Quality Plan defines how effective control is established by use of formal written procedures. The Quality Manual System includes provision for prompt detection of discrepancies and for timely and effective corrective action.

MACO-QMP-001

QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL MANUAL Doc. No. MACO-QMP-001 Rev. 0

Contract Documentation package, in logical sequence, related to the overall process basis and engineering disciplines involved. A full index to identify the location of each data category will be prepared if not included in the Clients Documentation. This Design Data Base will be issued to all attendees of the Contract Review Meeting, supplementing information distributed direct from the Contract Documentation Package. That the issued Execution Strategy, if prepared and Quality Plan clearly indicate where the contract work instructions differ from the standard working practices. That the Contract Execution Strategy is prepared and that Planning Schedules and Work Packages are understood by those responsible for the work. That any identified needs for the development of procedures, work instructions and design briefs, are identified and included in the agenda for the Meeting. 5.5 Contract Review Meeting The timing of the Contract Review meeting must be considered balance between just sufficient prior time for the preparatory activities stated in 2.4 above and the need to hold the meeting before actual contract work commences in detail, e.g. process system calculations. The Meeting should normally take place not later than 10 working days after Effective Date of Contract. The Contract Review Meeting shall be chaired by the Project Manager, who will ensure that the minutes of meeting are taken, using Appendix 2 as an immediate record/cover sheet. The relevant Proposals Manager and other previously involved Proposal staff shall attend the Meeting at the request of the Project Manager. The agenda for the Meeting will either be based on the responses received in advance (if requested by the Project Manager), as per 5.3 & 5.4 above, or will be tabled by the Project Manager. All assigned Lead Proposal Staff will have prepared a statement of all criteria for their discipline prior to any start of any project (contract) activities. Items discovered (omissions, discrepancies, clarifications, etc) during the meeting preparation phase shall be discussed, resolved and mounted, during the meeting. Where necessary, formal requirements for clarification and further information shall be compiled at the meeting as an addendum to the Minutes for subsequent follow-up by the Project Manager as per sections 5.3 & 5.6 below.

PURPOSE To define the Quality Assurance in Design in order to satisfy MACO senior management and Proponent that the design will satisfy all aspects of the requirements, and to detect and correct the errors which do occur as early as possible.

SCOPE This Procedure covers design and development stages, including the review, optimization, standardization, verification and approval.

REFERENCES Schedule B Job Specification Schedule Q Quality Assurance and Control, Inspection and Testing ISO 9001/2000 Quality Systems-Model for Quality Assurance in Design, Development, Production, Installation and Servicing.

4 DEFINITIONS This procedure uses definitions in the form of the Quality Plan and ISO 8402 Quality Management and Quality Assurance vocabulary. 5 PROCEDURE Design QA/QC is achieved by MACO by its selection of competent engineers and/or sub-contractors in accordance with the contract and using suitable procedures approved by different Proponents. An essential part of the quality system is independent verification and reviews of design at appropriate stages during the Design Phase. MACO will ensure that as a minimum, these reviews are completed prior to Proponents scheduled Design Reviews stated in Schedule B or any other related document on the Contract. MACO shall maintain records of these Design Reviews including solicitation, recording and resolution of comments. To this end, any action required will be assigned to individuals. The QA Department will be responsible for confirming by the audit that any such assigned actions have been satisfactorily dealt with by the person or persons concerned. Design Control as practiced by MACO is the quality control of design. MACO will verify that design criteria comply with the Proponents specified requirements, that
Page 2 of 9 MACO-QMP-002

QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL MANUAL Doc. No. MACO-QMP-002 Rev. 0

design data and methods are valid for the range of application, and that completed design satisfies the design criteria. MACO will achieve this by preparation of written procedures as described in the Project Quality Plan, which are themselves subject to Quality Management Audits. Optimization when specified in Schedule B of the Contract is for MACO to select or develop a design, which satisfies the specified quality requirements at minimum lifetime costs. The lifetime cost attributable to an item consists of the following. Cost of Procurement. Extras for Changes. Related costs of interfacing items. Cost of Installation. Maintenance, repair and replacement costs. Consequential costs of lost production due to non availability. Although it is not possible to estimate these costs precisely, MACO will take into account their probable magnitude in design optimization. To ensure satisfactory installation performance, MACO will ensure that the Quality Program is adequate. For low-cost systems and equipment, MACO will advise the proponent that investment in enhanced quality will be beneficial to overall installation economics. If, for example, protection system of high reliability is specified, both maintenance costs and spurious shut-downs are reduced. Standardization-MACO will ensure that the design of structures and systems are coordinated to ensure that the number of different materials, components and equipments used throughout the installation are kept to a minimum. Additional types will not be introduced to make small savings in first costs. This will facilitate procurement, material control and maintenance. Verification-MACO will ensure that original design is independently verified to comply with specified criteria, and all work documented and filed. MACO will justify design methods, selection of structure and system configuration, equipments and material, if required in Schedule B. MACO will use proven design methods wherever possible so as to minimize the probability and magnitude of error and uncertainties. Established codes and Standards will be used. MACO will check all calculations by approximate methods and compare results with any obtained previously from similar calculations. Important calculations will be independently verified using different methods if possible. Care will be taken to ensure that computer programs are not used outside of their range of validity and new methods will be subject to formal review before they are applied.

QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL MANUAL Doc. No. MACO-QMP-002 Rev. 0

The type and extent of design verification carried out by MACO depend on the design status and originality, and importance to safety and reliability of the item under consideration. System Descriptions Design control carried out by MACO will be based on adequate documentation. System descriptions are key documents which MACO will prepare during Conceptual Design for each system of installation. System Descriptions are developed throughout the duration of the Project and show the current status of the systems at any time. Review and Approval MACO will implement their Quality Plan through the Proponents approved QA Program. This program will provide for the effective verification of all design and supporting documentation, and internal review and approval before submission for the Proponents approval. As Specified in the contract, MACO will maintain a copy of all applicable standards, drawings and reference code standards (National/International) in accessible area to ensure optimum design activities. Design Reviews Design Reviews will be facilitated by the use of checklists. At the start of the contract, MACO will prepare a program for its scope of work based on our organization in a number of discrete design packages. For each design package MACO will develop a design plan which will include an initial review and one more intermediate review depending on the requirements of the contract. MACO will hold initial design review as soon as possible after completion of the design plan and will review the plan for: Definition of scope and interfaces; Identification of design inputs; Compliance with Job specifications; Compliance with the Quality Plans; Acceptability of design proposals; Integration into Project program. Intermediate design reviews will be held by MACO at intervals of one to three months and will consider the following: Results and Action from previous reviews Optimization Verification Documentation

Page 4 of 9

MACO-QMP-002

QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL MANUAL Doc. No. MACO-QMP-002 Rev. 0

Final design reviews will be held by MACO when the design is nearing completion and will consider: Results and action from previous reviews Design adequacy as basis for the next project phase. When review identifies serious deficiencies in design or there are many actions unresolved, a special follow-up review after the final review to ensure that all actions are satisfactorily completed. Completing Documents When Documents have to be submitted to the Proponent, the following steps apply. As each document is completed in the final format and deemed ready for checking, the originator will sign or initial in the title block of drawings, at the top of calculation sheets or in otherwise provided appropriate space, as directed by the Project Manager or Engineering Manager (as applicable). The Originator: Makes a check print copy of the document. Affixes Check Print stamp provided on the print of each drawing, the copy of each single-page document, or the face of each multi-page document. In case of single page documents, the stamp may be affixed to the back of the check print, if there is room in the face. Enters the document into a log to be maintained by the originator in order to monitor the checking process. Checking: The checker will review the Check Print of the documents for technical adequacy and conformance to any applicable standards and format and performs specific accuracy checks required for that type of document. Checking activity will be recorded directly on the Check Print. If the document is a drawing, the checker is responsible for ascertaining that the drawing is consistent with the corresponding calculations, and signing off that such calculations have been properly checked. Checker colors are yellow and red only. The Checker shall: Determine if the document conforms to good engineering judgment and practice and is suitable and adequate to accomplish the required function. The checker does not, in order to satisfy personal preferences; revise a document, which is already adequate to meet project requirements. Highlight in yellow on the Check Print each part checked that is found to be correct. Marks in red on the Check Print corrections, additions, or deletions deemed to be required. Red or yellow should not be used to note
Page 5 of 9 MACO-QMP-002

QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL MANUAL Doc. No. MACO-QMP-002 Rev. 0

comments or instructions. These colors are reserved for the checking process. Comments or instructions should be written in black pencil. Resolves significant differences with the Originator, if necessary, the Checker refers any issue to the Section Chief, or Project Manager (in that order) for final resolution before continuing the checking activity. The check Print must reflect resolution of these differences by means of a green checkmark, affixed by the Originator next to the Checker red marks. Signs and dates the stamp blanks provided for confirmation that the calculations on which drawing is based have been checked; initials and dates the stamp blank opposite checked; and then forwards the Check Print to the Originator for back-checking. If no correction is necessary, the Checker should sign and date as above. In addition, the Checker should enter N/A in the spaces provided for the Back-Checker and Verifier, since these functions are superfluous if there are no corrections. The Checker should then sign or initial and date the title block of drawings (Checked by). At the top of calculation sheets or in otherwise provided appropriate space as directed by the Project Manager. The Check Print should then be sent to the Originator (acting as Back-Checker). Back Checking: The Originator (acting as Back-Checker) is responsible for reviewing the Checkers marks on the Check Print and personally making or supervising the update of the Document Original. Back-Checker color is green only. Originator/Back-Checker: Check marks in green each of the Checkers red-marked changes if in agreement that the original should be changed, and adds in green any additional changes not picked up by the Checker. Consults with the Checker, if not in agreement with some of the red marked changes, or if additional changes are necessary. Resolves differences with the Checker or if necessary, refers to the Project Engineer, Section Chief, or Project Manager (in that order) for final resolution before completing the Back-Checking. Every red marked change made by the Checker should have a green check next to it (by the Back-Checker); and every additional change made in green by the Back Checker should be highlighted in yellow by the Checker to signify concurrence. Crosses out in green, each of the Checkers red-marked changes that both he and the Checker at that point agree should not be changed. The BackChecker should not obliterate the Checkers marks, but rewrite in green, next to the crossed out red marks the original information that is to remain unchanged. All such green marks put on the documents by the BackChecker must be yellowed by the Checker.
Page 6 of 9 MACO-QMP-002

QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL MANUAL Doc. No. MACO-QMP-002 Rev. 0

In the case of specifications, where entire paragraphs may be involved in this process, it will be acceptable, in lieu of re-writing in green the original text that is to remain, to write an instruction to the typist, in black, with conventional editors marks, such as stet. The instruction should have a green check marked placed by the Checker; the green checkmark should be yellowed on by the Back-Checker/Originator. Personally updates the Documents Original when practical, or has the Document Original updated under supervision to include the agreed to changes. If a drafter does the updating, this individual should circle in blue, on the Check Print, each item as change is made on the originals. Signs and dates stamp on the Check Print and forwards the check Prints to the Checker for verification. If the changes in the documents were so extensive as to make it difficult to follow them on the original Check Print, the checker will obtain a second copy of the original which will be labeled No. 2 and proceed with checks.

Verifying Original Check Print The Checker, acting as the Verifier, compares each of the Checkers marked changes on the second copy labeled No. 2 with the revised part of the updated documents. If agreed-to changes have been accurately made on the original the Checker/Verifier circles changes in green on the back-checked print. Verifying New Check Print If the agreed-to changes have been accurately made on the updated document, the Verifier: Checks that each correction, addition, or deletion, and each part that has been redrawn, relocated, rewritten, retyped, or recalculated, has been correctly transferred to the original from the previous Check Prints. Circles in green on the new Check Print of the updated document all corrections that were marked on the Check Print. Marks in red on the new Check Print each required correction, addition or deletion that was not picked up from the back-checked Check Print; or Returns the stack of Check Print to the Back-Checker, who will green check the red marks (if found correct) on the new print marked by the Verifier, and sends the stack of Check Prints for drafting.

MACO-QMP-002

QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL MANUAL Doc. No. MACO-QMP-002 Rev. 0

When all the changes marked in the latest Check Print have been circled in green, the checking process has been completed. The Checker/Verifier signs or initials in the title block of drawings, at the top of the calculation sheets, or in other spaces designated for the Checker. Signs and dates the Check Print stamp on the line designated for the Verifier, signs off drawings or calculation sheets, and forwards the Check Print to the Originator of the document. This completes the Checking Process if, due to Proponents dictated reasons or other similar circumstances, further changes become necessary at a later time, they shall be processed on a new Check Print in the manner previously described for the Check Print. Only the new changes need to be checked, but the Designer and the Checker are responsible to make sure that any interface areas that are affected by the changes are fully checked. Disposition of the Checked Documents The Section Heads are responsible for disposition and control of all documents originated by their discipline and signs off that the checking process is complete. If the document represents design calculations, analysis, or other work not requiring project management review, the Project Engineer places all Check Prints in the project files with the Documents Originals. The Section Head/Project Engineer maintains Document Originals in limited-access files so that they may be changed only with Project Managers knowledge and consent. Exceptions: If for some extenuating reasons, documents must be sent to the Proponent before this procedure has been fully implemented the following apply: The Engineering Manager must notify the Project Manager that the documents have not been checked and reviewed and explain the reasons. Before transmittal of such unchecked documentation, written permission of the Project Sponsor must be obtained. After written permission has been obtained, the documents must be stamped UNCHECKED-For Information Only. If a single or limited number of copies of unchecked documents are to be submitted to the client for review, these may be stamped REVIEW COPY For Information Only. If unchecked documents are to be submitted to the client for bidding purposes, they should be stamped For Bidding Purposes Only Not To Be Used For Construction.

QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL MANUAL Doc. No. MACO-QMP-017 Rev. 0

The Audit Schedule (see attachment 6.7) shall be approved by the QA Manager and authorized by the Project Manager. The QA Manager shall review the Audit Schedule on a regular basis and update it as necessary. The review shall be based on the quality system requirements and specific projects requirements as well as the audit history. The date of each review shall be recorded on the Audit Schedule. Any significant changes to the Audit Schedule shall be authorized by the Project Manager. Audit Team Selection The QA Manager shall define the audit team size and composition, and formally assigns a Lead Auditor and any other team member(s). The Lead Auditor shall be normally an experienced/trained auditor of at least QA Engineer status. Exceptionally, engineers from other disciplines may be asked to assists in audits and it may also be necessary to obtain specialist support from group supervisors when auditing outside the audit team's direct working experience. Auditors shall have the experience/training commensurate with the scope, complexity or special nature of the activities to be audited. The audit team will normally be informed of their selection at least two weeks before the audit. Audit Preparation The Lead Auditor shall for each audit: Obtain the serial number from the "Audit Status Log" (see attachment No. 6.8) maintained by the QA Manager; Contact the auditees at least one week in advance and confirm the arrangements, i.e. the audit scope, agenda, the date(s), time and place, in writing (reference attachment No. 6.1 'Audit Arrangement Record'); Obtain copies of all relevant documents, e.g. contract, procedures, correspondence, quality plans, standards and earlier audit reports etc; Prepare an audit plan detailing the appropriate time, subject or activity and person present at each stage of the audit; Prepare (or cause to be prepared) audit checklists (see attachment No. 6.9) from the applicable documents defined above.

QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL MANUAL Doc. No. MACO-QMP-017 Rev. 0

Prior to developing the checklists, the auditors shall read the relevant documents (e.g. procedures) thoroughly. Checklist questions shall address each significant area of the procedure or system and shall elicit a direct answer that can be substantiated by documentary evidence. Documented evidence of activities shall be examined in accordance with the requirements of the quality system. However, the auditors shall have flexibility to determine whether an activity is acceptable or not, rather than recording a strict "Yes" or "No". Should a serious deficiency to a procedure become apparent during routine operations the QA Manager shall initiate an Unscheduled Audit. When completed the Unscheduled Audit shall also be shown on the Audit Schedule (see attachment No. 6.7) as having taken place. Opening Meeting The Lead Auditor shall convene a brief meeting between the audit team and appropriate representatives of the Auditees' Management. The purpose of the meeting shall be to: effect introductions; circulate an attendance sheet (see attachment No. 6.3); investigate all outstanding actions from previous audits and secure their close-out (where applicable); discuss briefly the scope and purpose of the audit; confirm the audit timetable and work program; establish the sequence of events and individuals involved; arrange escorts for the audit team and the use of an office for audit team meetings; establish a provisional time for the exit meeting and invite the Auditee's Management to attend. Execution of the Audit Audits shall be conducted using the prepared checklists (see attachment 6.9). The checklists shall assure thoroughness and continuity during the audit. The checklists shall be used only as a guide, and will be expanded, if additional questions arise. Objective evidence which is usually in the form of documents shall be examined and essential information recorded. In completing the audit checklist, under the heading "Activity Compliance", the auditors shall state, "Yes", "Acceptable", "Not Acceptable" (NA), or "See Comment". The "Comment/Remarks" column shall be used to expand on the

activity or to reference nonconformities and objective evidence so that an overall view of the Auditee's QA performance is readily seen (Attachment No. 6.9 refers). Wherever possible, auditors shall obtain auditee's agreement that significant nonconformities exist at the time they are discovered. Auditors shall not however tell the auditee that Corrective Action requests (see attachment No. 6.2) will be issued before the audit team has had an opportunity to discuss all the audit findings.

Post Audit Meeting Upon completion of the audit investigation and prior to the exit meeting, the Audit Team shall meet together to check and evaluate their findings and complete Corrective Action Requests (CAR's). Objective evidence of a deviation from approved procedures, quality plans and/or other applicable documents shall be considered as valid justification for the preparation of a CAR. Corrective Action Requests (CAR's) CAR's shall be raised using the form shown in attachment No. 6.2 in preparation for discussion and agreement at the exit meeting. CAR's shall be numbered sequentially, e.g. for Audit No. 12, CAR 12/1, CAR 12/2 etc. CAR's shall define precisely the person(s) involved or present when the deficiency was identified, the time and location, and any procedure reference. However, auditors should avoid naming those involved and should preferably use job titles. The auditors shall complete the CAR only as far as the non-conformity section, and both auditor and auditee shall sign it to confirm that the non conformity is recorded correctly. All findings shall be reviewed and provisionally categorized as follows: Category 1:Non-compliance of major significance requiring "stop work" recommendation and the institution of agreed corrective action measures during the audit.

Guide

The non-compliance can be system or procedure which has not been adequately documented or implemented such that the item or service has a major non-compliance, or is reasonably suspected. Close-out of the findings shall be by re-audit. The QA Manager shall be advised and his authority is required to recommend "stop work". The QA Manager shall consult with the appropriate department and others as necessary in MACO and notify the Project Manager without delay.

Category 2:Non-compliance of major significance which requires corrective action measures to be taken in a meaningful timescale so as to be effective for the relevant contract. Guide As for category 1 with the exception that no major noncompliance has been found in the item or service or is reasonably suspected, close-out of the finding shall be by reaudit. Where there are several related category 2 findings so that collectively the conditions of category 1 exist, then a category 1 finding shall be additionally raised.

Category 3:Non-compliance of minor significance. Guide Systems or procedures not adequately documented or implemented but which have little effect on the quality of the item or service: or a minor, isolated product noncompliance of a disciplinary nature. Close-out by follow-up and verification. A category 2 finding shall be additionally raised where several related category 3 findings collectively meet category 2 conditions.

Category 4: Observations Observations are general remarks or comments reflected in the audit report that may be incorporated into a system for improving the Quality Program performance, but which are not obligatory.
