What qualification standards apply to Subject Matter Experts (SME) where that approach is used for risk assessment?
ASME/ANSI B31.8S defines “subject matter experts” as “individuals that have expertise in a specific area of operation or engineering.” Section 192.915 requires that an operator s IM program provide criteria for qualifications. Each operator is responsible for assuring that the individuals it may rely on as SMEs have an appropriate level of expertise and experience to fulfill their function. Operators should document the qualification of their SMEs. OPS inspections may include examination of the qualification of SMEs.
