Fitness-For- Service (FFS) assessments are required through engineering analysis to demonstrate the structural integrity of components containing flaw or damages. The guidelines provided in API 579/ ASME FFS-1 are used to make run-repair-replace decisions of pressurised components after inspection, if they can continue to operate safely.
