Section A: Ageing and Life Extension(Degradation & Deterioration) (ALE) - Policy

Section B: ALE - Organising

Section C: ALE - Planning and Implementing

Section D: ALE - Measuring Performance

Section E: ALE - Auditing and Reviewing Performance

Summary of Inspection Findings:

HSE Action taken:

Section A: Ageing & Life Extension Policy and Leadership

Principal Questions:

1. Describe the policies that senior management have put in place for integrity management of safety critical elements and in particular ageing and life extension (ALE) issues.

2. To what extent are senior managers aware of the performance of the systems designed to maintain the integrity of safety-critical assets, and what is their commitment to ensuring that such assets remain fit for service at all times?

Benchmarks sought in replies:

Explicit recognition of the significance of ageing issues

Understanding of the challenges to ALE

ALE policy owned by senior management

Senior management has responsibility for implementing ALE policy

Senior management support for equipment / system replacement

Asset Integrity Management (AIM) addresses ALE

Fitness for purpose demonstrations are described

References to codes, standards & guidance, for example:

OSD Info sheet 4/2009;

Plant Ageing HSE RR 509;

Energy Institute Framework for monitoring the management of ageing effects on safety critical elements

Supplementary Questions:The duty holder shall demonstrate: that a structural integrity management (SIM) policy that recognises ageing and life extension exists.

a general understanding of ageing & life-extension issue.

Section B: Ageing & Life Organisation


1. What management processes are in place to ensure delivery of the ALE policy?

2. How does the leadership team know that the people involved are competent to perform the duties that the leadership team expect them to perform?


Roles and responsibilities are defined

Defined responsibility for condition assessments & life extension studies

Management & development of personnel competency

Management of contractor and 3rd party competency

Retention of corporate knowledge

Documentation management (asset registers / drawings)

Management of change

Supplementary Information:

The duty holder shall demonstrate that

an effective management structure is in place for delivering the SIM ageing & life-extension (ALE) policy.

the need for structural integrity competency in ALE and asset integrity management (AIM) is recognised and incorporated into the ALE policy

Section C: Ageing & Life Extension Planning and Implementation


1. Describe the methods used to identify ageing of safety critical elements.

2. Explain how the integrity management system ensures that the risks associated with ageing issues are controlled effectively.


Explanation of how equipment subject to ageing is selected and identified;

Evaluation of wear, deterioration and damage in service;

Review for operation outside of design limits, and for changed design standards;

Obsolescence identified and managed;

Plans for replacement and provision of spares;

Planned and targeted inspection and maintenance;

Life extension studies and fitness for purpose demonstrations;

Remedial actions.


The duty holder shall demonstrate that:

the SIM system is fit-for-purpose.

an effective inspection and maintenance plan is in place.

structure that is difficult to inspect or maintain has been identified.

fitness-for-purpose evaluations are sufficiently detailed and have included all the relevant ageing / life extension factors that may affect structural performance.

an adequate process for the review of findings and the implementation of remedial measures and continual improvement to the integrity management system is in place.

Section D: Ageing & Life Extension Measuring Performance


1. How are the risks arising from ageing and life extension being effectively controlled?

2. Describe the performance indicators used to demonstrate the current condition of the installation structure.

Benchmarks sought in replies: Leading and lagging KPIs to monitor impact of ageing and life extension are defined;

Management reviews KPIs and acts;

Contractor and 3rd party maintenance findings reviewed;

Procedures in place to detect ageing;

Ageing processes monitored;

Failure trends identified.Structural Integrity Supplementary Information:

The duty holder shall demonstrate

an adequate understanding and knowledge of the current structural integrity status of the installation.

an adequate system by which performance is measured.

that a process is in place to monitor deterioration of structure due to ageing.

Section E: Ageing & Life Extension Auditing and Reviewing Performance


1. How does the duty holder review the effectiveness of the inspection, maintenance and repair activities?

2. Describe the processes in place to audit the ageing and life extension aspects of the integrity management system.

3. Describe how the verification system is used to address deterioration associated with ageing and life extension issues.


Formal audit programme which addresses ageing and life extension management processes;

Management improvements identified;

Safety critical element verification process addresses ageing and life extension issues.


The duty holder shall demonstrate that

a process is in place to review findings and to implement continuous improvement with respect to structural ageing, life extension and structural integrity management (SIM).

Produce a 'statement of integrity' as produced by the technical authorities for senior management.

demonstrate that the audit and verification processes address adequately the potential loss of structural integrity arising from deterioration associated with ALE.
