OpenRBI — Important Notice and Conditions of Use

Please read before using OpenRBI.

OpenRBI is a free demonstration and proof-of-concept RBI workspace. It is not a production engineering system and does not provide engineering certification, regulatory approval, or certified assessments. You must independently verify all inputs and outputs before use.

Full notice and conditions of use

1. RBI Workspace and Scope

OpenRBI is a user-operated RBI calculation and documentation workspace. It is provided for screening, education, calculation support, and preparation of user-controlled RBI calculation records. OpenRBI exports user-generated RBI calculation records only. It does not issue approved, certified, or regulator-accepted RBI assessments.

OpenRBI does not provide engineering certification, regulatory approval, statutory inspection approval, fitness-for-service approval, inspection interval approval, inspection deferral approval, plant safety assurance, or any other formal engineering approval.

2. User Responsibility and Competent Review

All calculations, inputs, assumptions, reference data, damage mechanisms, consequence assumptions, inspection history, inspection intervals, outputs, and conclusions must be independently checked by the user before use. The output must be reviewed by a competent engineer, RPEQ, certified inspector, owner-user representative, statutory authority, or other appropriately qualified person where required by applicable law, site rules, codes, standards, and jurisdictional requirements.

The user remains responsible for final interpretation, acceptance, use, and implementation of any OpenRBI output. OpenRBI must not be used as the sole basis for inspection planning, inspection interval extension, statutory compliance, fitness-for-service decisions, safety-critical decisions, maintenance deferral, plant operation, or regulatory submissions.

3. Demonstration Data and Examples

Any pre-filled data, default values, sample records, demonstration examples, reference examples, and illustrative calculations are provided for demonstration purposes only. They must not be treated as recommended values, site-specific values, approved values, or suitable values for any actual plant, equipment, facility, or inspection programme.

4. Exported Reports and Calculation Records

Any PDF report or calculation record exported from OpenRBI is a user-generated calculation record. It is not an engineering certificate, statutory inspection certificate, fitness-for-service approval, inspection deferral approval, regulatory compliance certificate, or plant safety assurance document. Review status: requires competent review before use.

5. Standards, Codes and Recommended Practices

OpenRBI supports industry-standard RBI workflows but does not claim to replace competent engineering review, statutory inspection, professional judgement, site procedures, owner-user responsibility, or regulatory approval. Any reference to standards, codes, or recommended practices is provided for calculation support and workflow alignment only, not as a statement of compliance, certification, or approval.

6. Availability and Data Responsibility

OpenRBI may be unavailable, interrupted, withdrawn, modified, replaced, suspended, or discontinued at any time. The user is responsible for saving, exporting, downloading, checking, storing, backing up, and protecting their own OpenRBI project files, XML files, CSV exports, PDF reports, and related records. The user should not rely on OpenRBI as the sole storage location for any project, inspection, engineering, compliance, or business-critical record.

OpenRBI is not responsible for loss, deletion, corruption, overwriting, failure to save, failure to export, browser storage loss, device failure, user error, file incompatibility, or loss of access to user-generated files, except to the extent that liability cannot be excluded under applicable law.

7. User Competency and Responsibility Declaration

By using OpenRBI and exporting any calculation record, the user declares that they are competent to use the software and to understand the engineering significance of the inputs, assumptions, calculations, limitations, and outputs.

The user declares that they are appropriately qualified, experienced, authorised, licensed, registered, or supervised, as required by the laws, codes, standards, site procedures, and jurisdictional requirements applicable to the work being performed.

The user accepts full responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, suitability, verification, interpretation, and use of all data, assumptions, selections, calculations, reports, exports, and conclusions produced using OpenRBI.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the user agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the OpenRBI developer, publisher, contributors, distributors, and associated parties from claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, or expenses arising from the user’s input data, assumptions, selections, modifications, interpretation, reliance, export, distribution, or use of OpenRBI outputs, except to the extent caused by liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Nothing in this declaration excludes, restricts, or modifies any right, guarantee, remedy, or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted, or modified under applicable law.
