  1. Reports / Updates From Task Groups / Liaisons Material Test Lab Calibration & Certification David Salgado reporting for Tim Haeberle 9 February 2010

  2. Material Test Lab Calibration & Certification • Material test lab calibration & certification was discussed as a potential new work item at the API SC6 2009 summer meeting. • Brett Puckett of Shell US requested the discussion of this issue. • Shell, Europe created its own requirement for calibration & certification of material test labs testing Alloy 718, and this has been imposed on Shell worldwide.

  3. Material Test Lab Calibration & Certification • On behalf of API SC6, Tim Haeberle was assigned to follow-up with Brett Puckett and advise him what is required to formally request a new work item using the Standards Resource & Research Request Form. • Brett Puckett has been contacted, but Shell personnel do not wish to propose a new work item for this issue at the Winter Meeting. • Brett advises that Shell may attempt to advance this issue in API SC18.

  4. Material Test Lab Calibration & Certification • Comment: • Implementation of a requirement for material test lab calibration & certification could severely restrict the ability of manufacturers of API equipment to procure raw materials and manufacture equipment. • Issues: • There is no single nationally or internationally accepted standard for material test lab calibration or certification. • There is no single national or international certifying authority for material test labs.
