6.8 Relationship with Jurisdictional Requirements 与 司 法 要 求 的 关 系<br />

Codes and legal requirements vary from one jurisdiction to another. In some<br />

cases, jurisdictional requirements mandate specific actions such as the type of<br />

inspections and intervals between inspections. In jurisdictions that permit the<br />

application of the API inspection codes and standards, RBI should be an<br />

acceptable method for establishing inspection plans and setting inspection<br />

due dates. All users should review their jurisdictional code and legal<br />

requirements for acceptability of using RBI for inspection planning purposes.<br />

The fact that some jurisdictions may have some prescriptive time-based rules<br />

on inspection intervals do not preclude the user from gaining significant<br />

benefits from the application of RBI, as long as jurisdictional requirements are<br />

met and as long as the local regulations do not specifically prohibit the use of<br />

RBI planning.<br />
