Standards & compliance
Engineered to international standards
Offshore work is governed by overlapping code, statutory, class and client requirements. We treat compliance as an operating principle, not a logo wall.
API
Drilling and production equipment specifications and recommended practice.
ASME
Pressure equipment, piping and welding codes.
ISO
Quality, welding, HSE and asset-management management-system principles.
IEC
Electrical, instrumentation and hazardous-area requirements.
IMO
Including the 2009 MODU Code for applicable mobile offshore drilling units.
IACS
Common structural and survey requirements across member societies.
DNV
Current offshore-unit rules and standards, referenced as an example framework.
ABS
Offshore unit and facility rules where applicable to the asset.
Lloyd's Register
Classification requirements where nominated by the client.
Bureau Veritas
Classification and third-party verification frameworks.
Flag state
Applicable flag-state statutory requirements for the unit.
Coastal state
Applicable local offshore regulations in the operating area.
Client specifications
Company technical specifications and project requirements.
OEM requirements
Original-equipment manufacturer maintenance and overhaul criteria.
How we apply it
Applicable requirements, identified before execution
Each project begins with identifying the applicable framework: the codes named in the client's specification, the nominated classification society's current rules, the flag-state and coastal-state requirements for the operating area, and the OEM criteria for the equipment involved.
For mobile offshore drilling units, we recognise the importance of the IMO 2009 MODU Code and the relevant offshore classification requirements applicable to the unit. Where DNV rules apply, we work to the current offshore-unit rules and standards as an example of that framework.
References to API, ASME, ISO, IEC, IMO, IACS, DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register and Bureau Veritas describe frameworks that may apply to offshore projects. They do not indicate approval, certification or endorsement of Alpine Crest Holdings by those organisations.
