ISO/DIS 13534
Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 13534 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 67, Materials, equipment and offshore structures
for petroleum and natural gas industries, Subcommittee SC 4, Drilling and production equipment.

ISO/DIS 13534
Introduction
This International Standard is based on API RP 8B, 7th edition, March 2002 [4] and API RP 7L, 1st edition [2].
Application of this International Standard seeks to maintain the serviceability and continued use of existing
hoisting and drilling equipment manufactured under API Spec 8A [3], ISO 13535, and ISO 14693.
In this International Standard, quantities expressed in the International System (SI) of units are also, where
practical, expressed in United States Customary (USC) units for information.
Users of this International Standard should be aware that further or differing requirements may be needed for
individual applications. This International Standard is not intended to inhibit the user from utilizing alternative
equipment, methods or engineering solutions for individual applications. This may be particularly applicable
where there is innovative or developing technology. Where an alternative is offered, the vendor should identify
any variations from this International Standard and provide details.

4 General principle
4.1 Procedure
4.1.1 General
Users/owners of hoisting and drilling equipment shall establish written procedures for inspection, maintenance,
repair and remanufacture of each item of equipment.
4.1.2 Procedure development
4.1.2.1 User/owner and manufacturer joint procedure development
The user/owner and manufacturer should jointly develop and update inspection, maintenance, repair and
remanufacture procedures consistent with equipment application, loading, work environment, usage, and
operational conditions.
These factors may change as a result of new technology, product improvements or fundamental changes in
service conditions.
Where necessary the user/owner should consult the manufacturer for advice and comment on these
procedures.
The user/owner shall consult the manufacturer on all aspects of remanufacture.
4.1.2.2 User/owner procedure development
If the manufacturer of the equipment no longer exists or is unable for any reason to provide suitable
recommendations, the user/owner shall develop documented inspection, maintenance, repair and
remanufacture procedures consistent with widely accepted industry practices, taking into account equipment
application, loading, work environment, usage, and operational conditions.
4.1.2.3 Parts and tooling
NDT, maintenance, and dismantling equipment shall be properly selected and adapted to the parts to be
inspected and maintained.
4.2 Personnel qualification
4.2.1 NDT personnel qualification levels
4.2.1.1 Qualification
Inspectors shall be aware of the type of equipment to be evaluated and the NDT methods to apply.
The users/owners shall verify that the NDT inspector has the following information:
© ISO 2008 – All rights reserved 5

---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------
ISO/DIS 13534
⎯ assembly drawings and drawings identifying critical areas;
⎯ rejection criteria.
In addition, the users/owners may provide the history of grinding or remanufacture, if available.
In the absence of critical area drawings, all areas of primary load carrying components shall be considered
critical.
These data shall be used by the inspector to adapt the inspection procedure.
4.2.1.2 Certification
The NDT inspector shall be certified in accordance with ISO 9712 or by other recognized NDT certification
programmes or standards.
NOTE For the purposes of this International Standard, ISO 9712 is equivalent to ASNT SNT-TC-1A [4].
4.2.2 Welding personnel qualification levels
Welders shall be qualified to a recognized standard.
5 Inspection and maintenance
5.1 General
5.1.1 Criteria
Inspection and maintenance are closely linked. Inspection and maintenance actions may be initiated based on,
but not limited to, one or more of the following criteria:
⎯ specific time intervals;
⎯ measurable wear limits;
⎯ manufacturer’s recommendations regarding maintenance;
⎯ load cycle accumulation;
⎯ non-performance of equipment;
⎯ environment;
⎯ experience (history);
⎯ regulatory requirements.
5.1.2 Safety considerations
Operators shall review safety considerations applicable to the site where the maintenance activity is
performed.
6 © ISO 2008 – All rights reserved

---------------------- Page: 15 ----------------------
ISO/DIS 13534
5.2 Maintenance
5.2.1 General
Maintenance of equipment consists of actions such as adjustments, cleaning, lubrication, and replacement of
expendable parts. The complexity of these activities and the safety risks involved shall be considered in the
assignment of appropriate resources such as facilities, equipment and qualified personnel.
5.2.2 Procedures
In addition to the procedures developed in accordance with 4.1, the manufacturer should define any special
tools, materials, measuring and inspection equipment, and personnel qualifications necessary to perform the
maintenance. The manufacturer should also specify those procedures that should be performed solely by the
manufacturer, either within the manufacturer's facility or within another approved facility.
5.2.3 Periodic maintenance schedules
The user/owner of the equipment shall develop schedules of maintenance based on experience and the
following factors:
⎯ environment;
⎯ load cycles;
⎯ regulatory requirements;
⎯ operating time;
⎯ manufacturer’s instructions regarding maintenance;
⎯ testing;
⎯ repairs;
⎯ remanufacture.
Long-term planning shall be adjusted in order not to interfere unnecessarily with the running operations.
5.3 Inspection
5.3.1 General
The existence of cracks can indicate severe deterioration and impending failure. Their detection, identification
and evaluation require accurate inspection methods.
Prompt attention is then required to remove the equipment from service immediately or to provide appropriate
service and/or repair.
Caution shall be exercised to take into account the increased susceptibility to brittle fracture of many steels
when operating at low temperatures.
If any manufacturing defects are discovered, they should be reported to the manufacturer or supplier.

---------------------- Page: 16 ----------------------
ISO/DIS 13534
5.3.2 Inspection categories
5.3.2.1 General
The objective of these inspections is to detect service defects and possible hidden manufacturing defects.
Inspection results shall be reported on equipment files and drawings.
5.3.2.2 Category I
This category involves observing the equipment during operation for indications of inadequate performance.
When in use, equipment shall be visually inspected on a daily basis for cracks, loose fits or connections,
elongation of parts, and other signs of wear, corrosion or overloading. Any equipment found to show cracks,
excessive wear, etc., shall be removed from service for further examination.
The equipment shall be visually inspected by a person knowledgeable in that equipment and its function.
5.3.2.3 Category II
This is Category I inspection plus further inspection for corrosion, deformation, loose or missing components,
deterioration, proper lubrication, visible external cracks, and adjustment.
