ISO DIS 10418

Description / Abstract: This International Standard provides objectives, functional requirements and guidelines for techniques for the analysis, design and testing of surface process safety systems for offshore installations for the recovery of hydrocarbon resources. The basic concepts associated with the analysis and design of a process safety system for an offshore oil and gas production facility are described. The scope of this International Standard is limited to specifying the methods by which the asset is protected against loss of containment of hydrocarbon material. Requirements for how the systems are selected, implemented and managed throughout the detailed design and subsequent operation of the facility are not included in this standard.

This International Standard is applicable to

— fixed offshore structures;

— floating production, storage and off-take systems;

for the petroleum and natural gas industries.

This International Standard is not applicable to mobile offshore units and subsea installations, although many of the principles contained in it may be used as guidance.
