Setting the standard DNV Offshore Codes Svein Flogeland Product Manager, Offshore Class DNV Technical seminar on Mobile Offshore Units Mumbai, February 15th 2008
What is classification?
Classification is a system for safeguarding life and property at sea, and the environment due to operational consequences
Classification implies a process of verifying offshore objects towards a set of requirements which are laid down in the clssification rules
Classification may be regarded a quality system continuously developed for the maritime industry and accepted by: -

Principles embedded in DNV Rules Safety barriers related to design (four-line hazard defence)
Proper design and construction qualities to provide a safe platform Maintenance and inspection to sustain construction qualities Safety after credible accidents such as collision, fire, explosion or maloperation Survivability after major accidents to provide a safe haven through adequate damage stability, floatability and lifesaving capability

Slide 4
Safety principles embedded in DNV Rules
Safety integrity for design loads - The unit or installation shall be designed and constructed with sufficient integrity to withstand operational and environmental loading throughout its lifecycle
Maintenance to sustain intended qualitied - Survey and follow-up in accordance with In-service Inspection Program
Survivability for accidental loads - Systems and structures shall be designed with suitable functionality and survivability for prevention of, or protection from, design accident events affecting the unit
Emergency evacuation - Effective escape, shelter and evacuation facilities shall be provided to safeguard all personnel

Slide 5
Additional requirements Hazard
management
- Suitable measures shall be provided to enable timely detection, control and mitigation of hazards Isolation
of accidents
- Escalation to plant and areas that are not affected by the initiating event shall be avoided Redundancy
and defense lines:
- The design shall be sufficiently robust to tolerate at least one failure or operating error without resulting in a major hazard, or damage to the unit
Version
14 February 2008
Slide 6
Defence line philosophy
Defence lines or barrieres shall be established to ensure that - Probabilities that failures or situations of hazards and accidents will occur shall be kept an an acceptable level - Probabilities that such situations shall develop further shall be reduced

Offshore Class - Relationship to International Standards
DNV is an active Contributor to International Standardisation
DNV participate in more than 50 external standardisation committees, e.g. ISO, IEC, CEN, API
Principles applied in DNV Offshore Class: - Increased use of internationally recognised standards as basis for class - Straightforward procedures for accepting alternative standards to the ones listed as basis for class
Version

Slide 21
Offshore Classification
Criteria for accepting a standard for Class: Used widely in many parts of the world Widely recognised as representing good practice Regularly maintained up to date Developed by a committee representing the principal industry technical stakeholders (e.g. owners, operators, regulators, designers, manufacturers, certification bodies, academics) Reviewed by DNV and found to represent an acceptable minimum level of safety
