1 Scope
This International Standard describes the objectives, functional requirements and guidelines for the control and mitigation of fires and explosions on offshore installations used for the development of hydrocarbon resources. This International Standard is applicable to: fixed offshore structures; floating production, storage and off-take systems; for the petroleum and natural gas industries. Mobile offshore units as defined in this International Standard and subsea installations are excluded, although many of the principles contained in this International Standard may be used as guidance. This International Standard is based on an approach where the selection of control and mitigation measures for fires and explosions is determined by an evaluation of hazards on the offshore installation. The methodologies employed in this assessment and the resultant recommendations will differ depending on the complexity of the production process and facilities, type of facility (i.e. open or enclosed), manning levels, and the environmental conditions associated with the area of operation. Users of this International Standard should note that while observing its requirements, they should, at the same time, ensure compliance with such statutory requirements, rules and regulations as may be applicable to the individual offshore installation concerned.
2 Terms, definitions and abbreviated terms
2.1 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this International Standard, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1.1 abandonment act of personnel onboard leaving an installation in an emergency 2.1.2 accommodation place where personnel onboard sleep and spend their off-duty time NOTE It may include dining rooms, recreation rooms, lavatories, cabins, offices, sickbay, living quarters, galley, pantries and similar permanently enclosed spaces. 2.1.3 active fire protection AFP equipment, systems and methods which, following initiation, may be used to control, mitigate and extinguish fires 2.1.4 area classification division of an installation into hazardous areas and nonhazardous areas and the sub-division of hazardous areas into zones NOTE This classification is based on the materials which may be present and the probability of a flammable atmosphere developing. Area classification is primarily used in the selection of electrical equipment to minimize the likelihood of ignition if a release occurs. 2.1.5 cellulosic fire CF fire involving combustible material such as wood, paper, furniture, etc. 2.1.6 class of fire type of fire classification used to facilitate the selection of extinguishers 2.1.7 control <of hazards> limiting the extent and/or duration of a hazardous event to prevent escalation 2.1.8 control station CS place on the installation from which personnel can monitor the status of the installation, initiate appropriate shutdown actions and undertake any emergency communication 2.1.9 deluge system system to apply fire-water through an array of open spray nozzles by operation of a valve on the inlet to the system 2.1.10 embarkation area place from which personnel leave the installation during evacuation EXAMPLES A helideck and associated waiting area or a lifeboat/liferaft boarding area. 2.1.11 emergency depressurization EDP controlled disposal of pressurized fluids to a flare or vent system when required to avoid or minimize a hazardous situation 2.1.12 emergency response action taken by personnel on or off the installation to control or mitigate a hazardous event or initiate and execute abandonment 2.1.13 emergency response team group of personnel who have designated duties in an emergency 2.1.14 emergency shutdown ESD control actions undertaken to shut down equipment or processes in response to a hazardous situation 2.1.15 emergency station place where emergency response personnel go to undertake their emergency duties
