Our work on engineering substantiation covers 2 areas:

bulletFor existing equipment we will review against modern British or International standards as appropriate and identify shortfalls.  In this case there is clearly a trade off between the age of the equipment, and its remaining life, against the cost of upgrading to meet the standards.  In most cases the extent of any work necessary will depend on the duty of that equipment.  We will produce a report highlighting the relevant areas, and if necessary we will propose a future action plan in conjunction with the client.  We will liaise with the appropriate regulatory authority (e.g. HSE) if required.
bulletFor new equipment we will compare the design against the design intent, appropriate modern standards and any design safety standards and requirements that may be set.  We will produce a substantiation report to show how each requirement is met by the design, and highlight any engineered or operational safeguards that may be required to ensure safe operation of the equipment.  The scope of this report will depend on the nature of the duty for the equipment.  In safety critical areas we will produce a full report that can be used to prove compliance to the appropriate regulatory authority.
