Complete traceability is achieved when the pertinent characteristics/information relating to material procurement, manufacture, fabrication operations, inspection of assembly and installation of a part on a specific item or assembly, as verified by Quality Control, is recorded and maintained on applicable documents and records.

The main stages of traceability are outlined below:

• Traceability Database Setup
• Implementation & Training
• Procurement & Delivery of Materials
• Pre-Processing
• Construction/installation
• Inspection & Reporting

Traceability follows the stages of construction/installation throughout the complete process to ensure all material, welds and related information is captured and recorded. Full traceability for all material, welding, NDE, surface treatment, bolting and insulation is a requirement for most of the Oil and Gas Projects.
