The provision for using non-DNV codes or standards is that the same safety level as the one resulting for designs according to this standard is obtained.

Where reference in this standard is made to codes other than DNV documents, the valid revision of these codes shall be taken as the revision which was current at the date of issue of this standard, unless otherwise noted.

When code checks are performed according to other codes than DNV codes, the resistance and material factors as given in the respective codes shall be used.

National and governmental regulations may override the requirements of this standard as applicable.
