Abstract
The European Network for Inspection and Qualification
(ENIQ) is a utility driven network that works towards a
harmonized European approach on reliable and effective
in-service inspection. The ENIQ has two task groups: Task
Group on Qualification (TGQ) works on issues related to
the qualification of ISI systems, and Task Group on Risk
(TGR) is focused on risk-informed in-service inspections
(RI-ISI). After publishing the European Framework
Document on RI-ISI in 2005, ENIQ TGR has been working at
producing more detailed recommended practices and
discussion documents on several RI-ISI related issues.
Work is going on to develop a discussion document on
updating of RI-ISI programmes, and new initiatives are
launched to study topics such as what magnitude of risk
reduction is reasonable to achieve through ISI, and how
to set inspection targets, following the selection of ISI
sites. In addition, TGR has been active in initiating
international projects linked closely to its work, such
as the JRC-OECD/NEA co-ordinated RI-ISI benchmark
exercise (RISMET), and the project on the relation
between inspection qualification and RI-ISI. Aim of this
paper is to review and explain the activities of ENIQ
TGR.
