a) identification of existing damage or deterioration and anticipated rates of degradation,
b) identification of future damage mechanism susceptibilities,
c) development and maintenance of inspection and monitoring strategies, programs, and plans (e.g., perAPI 510, 570, and 653),
d) implementation and monitoring of integrity operating windows (IOWs) (see API RP 584),
e) development of corrosion control documents (CCDs) (see API RP 970),
f) implementation of risk-based inspection (RBI) programs (see API RP 580 and 581),
