assessment plan

An assessment plan outlines the approach and procedures for evaluating or assessing a specific situation, process, project, or individual. It provides a systematic framework for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data to make informed decisions or judgments. Key components typically included in an assessment plan:

a) identifies all segments of a pipeline system that could impact a critical location

b) identifies the specific integrity assessment method(s) to be applied to those segments

c) specifies the schedule by which those integrity assessments will be performed

d) provides the technical justification for the selection of the integrity assessment method(s) and the risk basis for establishing the assessment schedule
