DNV DNVGL-ST-F301 PDF

Introduction

This DNV GL standard (ST) provides principles and technical requirements for design and manufacturing of subsea equipment and components (hereafter referred to as subsea equipment) in order to maintain safety and function in operation.

This standard requires the application of industry codes and standards which are typically associated with subsea production systems (e.g. ISO 13628 Series, API 17 series).

This standard forms part of DNV GL’s document hierarchy and provides DNV GL’s acknowledgement of the referenced international standards, with some additional requirements where found applicable.

The requirements are in areas where DNV GL, based on past experience, finds amendments necessary for the safe and reliable operation of subsea equipment.

This standard has been written for general world-wide application.

Clearly defined well barriers relating to well integrity in drilling and well operations, as defined in NORSOK D-010, are considered as an essential pre-requisite for compliance with this standard.

Guidance note:

It is recognised that national legislation or end-users may have technical requirements in excess of the referenced codes and standards for such equipment. In such cases it is assumed that the manufacturer will be required to supply equipment conforming to those requirements. In the absence of such requirements, NORSOK D-010 well barrier element acceptance tables should be adopted.
