This specification is applicable to all suppliers of machining services associated with the manufacturing of parts in accordance with design criteria. 3.0 Procedure 3.1 General Requirements Quality Program Verification The supplier's quality system shall be described in a written manual or procedure with revision control and identification. The quality system manual should be approved and supported by the supplier's management and cover the requirements of either API Spec Q1 or ISO 9001 as a minimum. The quality system manual shall be submitted to the Division Quality department for review and approval upon initial issue and/or revision. When the supplier is the holder of a current API License or ISO 9001 Registration Certificate, a copy of the applicable certificate may be submitted to the Division Quality department in lieu of the quality system manual as objective evidence of quality system implementation. When a supplier is approved by based on an API License or ISO Registration Certificate, the supplier is required by this specification to invoke the provisions of the applicable API License or ISO Registration to the work performed for facilities Conflicts in Specified Requirements In cases where the purchase order disagrees with the referenced drawings, the supplier shall contact the buyer at the location that issued the affected purchase order to discuss and resolve the issue. 3.2 Specific Quality Control Program Requirements Drawings, Specifications and Procedures (Document Control) The supplier shall ensure that all work performed for a facility is in compliance with the requirements of the drawings, specifications and purchase order instructions.

The supplier shall provide a Certificate of Compliance stating that the items were machined and inspected in accordance with the purchase order requirements and applicable drawing Control of Nonconforming Products When the supplier wishes to have an issue reviewed for possible concession, the supplier shall prepare and submit a Supplier Deviation Request electronically, via the Portal, Supplier Information Page, for review and disposition prior to shipment of the affected items. Note: Contact your Purchasing Buyer for guidance in accessing the Portal, Supplier Information Page Inspection, Measuring, and Test Equipment Inspection, measuring, and testing equipment used in these inspections shall be calibrated and traceable to national standards. Physical constants may be used as the basis for calibration reference in case where national standards do not exist. The calibration system shall meet the requirements of ISO/IEC as a minimum Marking of Products Parts shall be permanently marked in accordance with the Pressure Control purchase order requirements and/or drawing requirements. When not specified, the parts shall be permanently marked with the following information as a minimum (when steel stamps are used, they shall be low-stress type):

Handling and moving items shall be in accordance with safe, accepted practices. Critical sealing surfaces and external threaded connections shall be adequately protected to preclude damage during handling. Examples: API ring grooves on parts shall not be placed directly on shop floors that have not been cleaned of shavings. Parts should be placed on pallets, boards, or thick cardboard for protection of ring grooves. Equipment shall not be lifted with metal straps or chains on or next to critical finished surfaces. Finished gates, seats, stems, seal subs, and other critical finished parts should be protected with individual wrapping (e.g., pvc tubes, netted or bubbled plastic), or boxed in a way to prevent damage during handling Storage and Preservation in Storage and in Transit General Requirements The storage and moving of products shall provide appropriate precautions to prevent damage and deterioration. Storage practices shall include use of appropriate pallets, containers, lifting equipment and vehicles to prevent damage to finishes, threads, or other features affecting performance. Pallets should be free of protruding items such as nails that would nick sealing surfaces, ring grooves & etc or covered with cardboard or other protective

6 materials and containers shall not be overloaded with items in size or weight Metallic Components Delivery Carbon and low alloy steel components shall be protected by indoor storage, rust preventatives, packaging, etc. to prevent damage from rust or corrosion. Any component found to be showing signs of rust or corrosion shall be cleaned and protected. Items such as gates and seats shall have some type of protection such as cardboard, bubbled or netted plastic, pvc, etc. between each part for protection. Stems, threaded components, and sealing surfaces should be protected with such items as plastic sleeves, boxes, pvc, etc. to prevent damage during handling, transit, or storage. Components with internal threads should not require additional protection except for large parts such as mandrel hanger bodies Delivery General Requirements Delivery of material, parts, and equipment shall be according to the requirements of established delivery practices and/or other requirements on the Purchase Order. Shipments of parts and products shall be tagged, labeled, or marked according to specified requirements. Shipments shall not be made until appropriate releases required by specified requirements are obtained Packaging of Products - General Instructions The following guideline shall be used to ensure proper packing of parts for delivery: Packaging practices shall provide for protection from environmental and mechanical damage using appropriate coatings, protective covers, containers, cushioning and blocking materials, pallets and skids.

7 All items with critical finishes, sealing surfaces, external threads and etc. must be individually wrapped (such as a bubble-wrap) and taped to protect it and prevent the item from coming out of the wrapping. Two or more items should never be wrapped together. Fill all voids in the package with a product that will not allow movement of the items being shipped to move. NOTE: Items such as gate assemblies are heavy and may compact the package filler material thus allowing the item to shift and move around in the container thus damaging the product. Exposed, unpainted, machined surfaces of rust sensitive finished products shall be protected with suitable rust preventive that will not become fluid at less than 125 o F. Conduits and body cavities shall be thoroughly cleaned of debris, metal cuttings, cutting oils and testing mediums before the application of body lubricants, filler greases, and protection for the exposed machined surfaces of finished products. Conduits, body openings, and end connections shall be capped or plugged to prevent the invasion of contaminants and/or mechanical damage during storage and delivery. Casing Heads shall be shipped with the flange-end down (exception of base plates attached to heads) on pallets. Tubing Heads shall have the largest flange face down on pallets. All outlets shall be protected from allowing foreign items from entering equipment. Seal areas shall be protected with a type of grease to prevent rusting during shipment Selection of Container Types The following guideline shall be used to determine the correct packaging and crating when contracts do not define special packaging requirements: Small items such as seats, stems, smaller gate assemblies, studs & nuts, shall be packaged in GE PROPRIETARY UNCONTROLLED WHEN PRINTED OR TRANSMITTED ELECTRONICALLY PAGE 7 OF 9
