The Risk Based Inspection (RBI) process is seen as an important methodology for identifying and targeting inspection programmes. The basic premise is that the integrity of industrial plant, or other such asset, can be determined and monitored consistently by using risk-based methodologies.
Inspecting and maintaining industrial plant is vital to its safe and efficient operation. Legislation is use in some countries to force inspection and corrective actions upon plant operators. However, a Risk Based approach allows the operators to focus effort and activities in the areas where it has been assessed to be most necessary.

We are very pleased to host the 13th International Conference on Pressure Vessel Technology (ICPVT-13), here in London, UK.
ICPVT-13 is supported by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, International Council on Pressure Vessel Technology (ICPVT), and the European / African Regional Committee (EARC) of ICPVT.
The aim of the International Conference on Pressure Vessel Technology (ICPVT) is to provide participants with opportunities to interchange the latest research results and related information on pressure vessel technology with experts in different countries. The conference will deal with the topics including design and analysis, materials and fabrication, inspection and testing, recent trends of codes and standards, new technology for post construction, and new applications of pressure technology.
The Conference runs triennially, alternating the 3 ICPVT regions - Americas Regional Committee [AmRC] - Asia Oceanic Regional Committee [AORC] and the hosts - European / African Regional Committee [EARC]
ICPVT has 40 years of tradition of holding the most prestigious international conference filled with the participation of over 300 world-leading experts.
This is the 13th conference in a series; it began in Delft in 1969, continuing in San Antonio, Tokyo, London, San Francisco, Beijing, Dusseldorf, Montreal, Sydney, Vienna, Vancouver, Korea and now London for the second time.
We will try our best to make this conference a successful one and look forward to your participation.
