status for Contractor criticality rating processes and process deliverables.
Utilize Criticality Process outputs in planning for and execution of verification of engineering,
design, procurement, construction, installation, hook-up and commissioning activities.
Obtain DRC 1 status for verification plans.
Ensure Criticality Ratings have been defined prior to issuing the first RFQ
Incorporate criticality process outputs into Contractor Engineering Design Quality Plan.
The criticality rating process should be used as a tool to reach an action plan that minimizes risk
to Eskom. The initial criticality rating may be amended (over-ridden) to a higher Criticality Rating
during the Supplier selection process based on their known current historical experience and
previous knowledge of the applicable potential Supplier and/or Sub-Supplier.
Contractor criticality process outputs shall be considered a key determinant in development of
Quality audit and surveillance schedules and in development of Quality Control Inspection and
Test Plans.
Eskom reserves the right to provide criticality rating for any or all Work scope deliverables.
The criticality rating system applied shall be commensurate with the following Eskom
classification of parts system described as follows:
Classification of Parts
Class-1 (Vital). Those parts that (1) have no redundancy and (2) are subjected to
significant fatigue loads, failure of which could cause a catastrophic effect to/loss of
equipment and/or life.
Class-2 (Critical). Parts, the failure of which could lead to one or more of (1) structural
collapse, (2) a reduction or loss of functional capabilities, (3) unintentional operation or
system/equipment shutdown essential to the safe functioning of the equipment and/or (4)
injury to personnel. (Immediate action: system shut-down.)
Class-3 (Significant). Those parts (1) falling within Class-1 or 2, but with such high safety
margin that the probability of failure is so rare that it can be demonstrated only by
analysis, or (2) parts not within Class-1 or 2, but (a) the failure of which will cause
problems w.r.t. efficiency, or (b) the design philosophy and/or materials used in the
manufacturing process are so new that particular qualification tests are required to
demonstrate their reliability.
Class-4 (Non-Significant). All parts not covered by Class-1, 2 or 3.

NOTE 1: Class-1 parts must be uniquely identified by a S/N, Class-2 parts should be
serialised, Class-3 parts do not normally require serialisation but may be identified by a
S/N, Class-4 parts do not require serialisation.
NOTE 2: Installations cannot be classified as vital. However, if a faulty component could
cause the loss of the equipment/life, this means that it contains a potentially vital
characteristic and an independent double check requirement (i.e. "dual inspection") must
be identified.
