A 200   Scope

Sec.8 A
201   The In-service inspection, maintenance and condition monitoring programme shall be established as part of the design process considering safety, environmental consequences and total life cycle costs.

The overall objective for the inspection, maintenance and condition monitoring activities is to ensure that the structure is suitable for its intended purpose throughout its lifetime.

The condition monitoring activities should include the latest developments, knowledge and experience available. Special attention should be paid to deterioration mechanisms for the relevant materials and structural components:
—time-dependent effects
—mechanical/chemical attacks
—corrosion, loading
—seabed conditions
—stability
—scour protection and damage from accidents.

As appropriate, the condition monitoring activities should reflect the need for repair works and maintenance.

Maintenance shall be carried out according to a plan based on the expected life of the structure or component or when the specified inspection or monitoring efforts detect unpredicted happenings.
