Operational Verification

Bureau Veritas' Operational Verification Ensures Regulatory Compliance and Optimised Assurance for Energy Operators

Bureau Veritas' Operational Verification service helps operators efficiently meet their regulatory obligations while adding value to their overall assurance and verification processes. Compliance with ever-advancing energy industry regulations and best practices is essential, particularly for aged assets that require optimised maintenance management strategies. Beyond just delivering regulatory compliance, our verification services augment the operator's broader assurance programme.

This is crucial given the challenges posed by key personnel turnover. Specifically, Safety Case Regulations require operators to appoint an independent and competent person (ICP) to verify that the safety and environmental critical elements (SECEs) - which provide major hazard risk control - as well as specified emergency equipment, remain suitable and fit-for-purpose throughout the asset lifecycle. By leveraging Bureau Veritas' expertise as the ICP, operators can have confidence that their critical systems and controls are being properly verified to maintain safe and compliant operations.
