3–4 weeks. That’s how long a senior process engineer spends on a single RAGAGEP gap analysis — manually cross-referencing a facility’s existing standard against the current published version, clause by clause.
One standard. 200–500 distinct requirements. $8,500–$25,000 in consulting fees.
Most facilities have 10–15 applicable standards. Do the math on a comprehensive review: 6–12 months of continuous work, or $85,000–$375,000 in consulting fees. For a mid-size refinery running lean, that’s not a budget line item — it’s a fantasy.
So facilities don’t do comprehensive reviews. They analyze 5–8 critical standards and hope the gaps in the others don’t surface during the next OSHA inspection. When they do, the fine is $165,514 per willful violation.
NORMEX Standards AI automates the most time-intensive part: clause extraction, cross-referencing, gap identification, and compliance scoring. Upload your facility’s standard as a PDF. The system runs a structured analysis against current RAGAGEP requirements, flags obsolete sections, identifies OSHA PSM and EPA RMP alignment gaps, and generates an updated draft document.
Pilot data: a complex gap analysis (ASME B31.3 assessment) completed in 4.2 days versus 22 estimated business days using traditional methods. That’s an 81% reduction in timeline.
The output isn’t a summary or a checklist. It’s a working document, formatted to industrial standards style, ready for technical review.
How many of your facility’s applicable standards have been cross-referenced against current RAGAGEP in the last 3 years?
