Over the last 15+ years we have seen great improvements regarding piping installation(s) at PSM/RMP covered processes. Since 1992 (PSM implementation) these “covered processes” were required to adopt a RAGAGEP for all aspects of their covered process. ASME has had their B31 series in place for decades and they are the most widely recognized piping RAGAGEPs around. Although the improvements we have seen have been in the field practices where they really matter, we are still seeing lack of a “management system” to ensure all aspects of B31.3 and B31.5 (the two I work most with) are being fully implemented. For example, during a PSM/RMP inspection/audit we should be able to provide the following documentation to OSHA/EPA or an auditor regarding our piping installations:
