API API-580 Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

After planning is completed, API 580 Section 6.1 states:

“Once this portion of the RBI planning process has been completed the data and information required for collection should be identified.”

This confirms that the next step involves identifying the data needed for analysis, not directly jumping to failure modes or mitigation.

As indicated in API 580 Section 11.8:

"Reduction of some risks to a lower level may not be practical due to technology and cost constraints. An as low as reasonably practical (ALARP) approach to risk management may be necessary for these items."

Thus, technology limitations are explicitly cited as a reason why some risks cannot be feasibly reduced further.

Per Section 13.3 of API 580:

“A Fitness-For-Service (FFS) assessment (e.g., API 579-1/ASME FFS-1) may be performed to determine what size flaws, if found in future inspections, would require repair or equipment replacement.”

This makes Fitness-For-Service the correct method for evaluating whether existing or predicted flaws are tolerable or require corrective action.
