You, the prime contractor, must indemnify Saudi Aramco against any loss, claim, or fine resulting from your subcontractor’s acts or omissions. There is no cap on this indemnity.

Many vendors confuse Schedule G with Aramco’s Vendor Code of Conduct (which covers bribery, antitrust, and human rights). The key difference:
Both are mandatory, but Schedule G carries more immediate financial penalties for process violations. Schedule G divides subcontractable work into two schedules:
1. The "Certificate of Conformance" Error Many vendors assume standard industrial materials only need a generic CoC. Aramco requires Material Test Certificates (MTC) as per EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2 for almost all Schedule G metallic items. Ensure your mill certificates are traceable to the heat number.
2. Country of Origin Restrictions Even if the technical specs match, the country of origin may be restricted. Always check the General Purchase Agreement (GPA) terms to ensure the manufacturing location is approved for that specific material code. No cap on indemnity unless explicitly stated –
3. Brand Name Specifications Schedule G often lists a "Brand Name or Equal." If you are offering an "Equal," you must provide a detailed cross-reference sheet proving technical parity. Simply providing a datasheet is often insufficient; you must actively demonstrate why your product is an equivalent.
Based on years of contractor audits, here are the three most common reasons companies fail Schedule G compliance:
Contractors must bring their own fire extinguishers, maintained monthly. However, Schedule G adds a layer: Weekly Fire Drills. The contractor must maintain a fire evacuation log and conduct unannounced drills for every shift.
