License Agreement: A contract between a supplier and an owner of rights to an

equipment design, allowing a supplier to either (1) assemble the equipment using all
the pieces provided by the design owner or (2) assemble the equipment using a
combination of pieces provided by the design owner and pieces manufactured by the
licensee to the design owner's detailed drawings/specifications. The contract between
the licensor and licensee would (1) require the licensee to follow the licensor
manufacturing procedures and be routinely audited by the licensor for compliance and
(2) require the equipment to be marketed and labeled using the licensor's brand name.

Made: Created from raw materials and/or assembled by the manufacturer.

Manufacturer: Can be either (1) the owner of the brand name of the equipment or
(2) a licensee that has a license agreement.

5 General

5.1 Procurement of a product made by a manufacturer not listed in Section 6 of

this Standard is not allowed without approval. Requests for approval of an
alternate manufacturer must be supported by documentation identifying how
the alternate manufacturer would better serve Saudi Aramco over the
manufacturers listed in this standard.
Commentary Note:

If the request to procure from an alternate manufacturer is not approved, the

approval authority is under no obligation to present the reasons for the refusal.

5.2 The manufacturer listings within Section 6 shall be interpreted in the following
manner:

5.2.1 Manufacturer is listed with the word “None” as a “Limitation”. All

are acceptable.

5.2.3 Manufacturer is listed with a specific “Location”: Only products made

in the specific Location or area(s) are acceptable.
