QA/QC Document 2026

An effective Quality Management System sits at the heart of a good project and supports operational resilience. In support of this, the Sub-Committee has produced a document for the benefit of both insurers and assureds entitled “Guideline for Auditing a Manufacturing Facility and the Implementation of Manufacturers’ QA and QC Procedures” aimed at offshore oil and gas (upstream) and renewables projects.

The Guideline considers current market shipyard audit opportunities embedded in the current JH143 and suggests possible enhancements to such an audit that, in addition to shipyards, include factories and fabrication yards. It also provides guidance on the critical features insurers should look for when reviewing the Quality Management System and the associated audit processes supporting project delivery and the quality of manufacturing facilities.

• QA/QC Document 2026

The JNRC publishes an educational resource designed to raise greater awareness of major upstream energy losses and incidents. These lessons learned initiative aims to:

• Assist in the prevention of major incidents reoccurring through information sharing with clients.
• Promote easily and readily available retrieval of loss and lessons learned information.
• Promote lessons learned training as part of formal education programmes and role induction for energy insurance professionals.

The LON provides a technical focus, and as such are not intended to be a claims resource.
