DNV-OSS-202 Verification for Compliance with UK Shelf Regulations
|
Sec.3
C. Verification Services
Sec.3
C 100 Appointment as ICP
Sec.3 C
101 UK regulations SCR and PFEER require comment and verification
by a demonstrably independent and competent person(s). As an entirely
independent foundation, working with all technical aspects of offshore safety,
DNV can provide suitably independent and competent personnel to
meet UK verification requirements at all stages of the installation
lifecycle.
Sec.3 C
102 This includes:| — | comment on record of safety
critical elements |
| — | preparation and consultation for SCR and PFEER written
schemes |
| — | performing and reporting SCR and PFEER written schemes
activities |
| — | review and revision of SCR verification scheme through
phases such as design and construction, in-service, modification. |
Sec.3
C 200 Review of the List of SCEs
Sec.3 C
201 The owner should produce a list of SCEs which the ICP will
review and agree. This review is to ensure that the items needing
to be in the scheme are, in fact, present. Sec.3
C 300 Verification scheme - development
and review
Sec.3 C
301 The scheme will document all the requirements to be addressed.
The written scheme will address both the SCR verification of safety-critical
elements, as well as the PFEER verification.
Sec.3 C
302 The scheme will contain all activities and information as
necessary to enable the ICP to verify the initial and ongoing suitability
of the safety-critical elements and other plant.
Sec.3 C
303 DNV will prepare a scheme to include, at minimum:| — | list of SCE and PFEER measures |
| — | type and frequency of activities under the scheme, including
reference to activities credited under class and duty holder's
own schemes |
| — | findings from activities under the scheme |
| — | remedial action recommended based on findings under
the scheme |
| — | remedial action performed in connection with the scheme |
| — | reporting lines between ICP and duty holder |
| — | arrangements for revision and review of scheme. |
Other aspects, such as interface of the scheme with management
of major accidents, can be included as agreed.
Activities under the scheme will be an appropriate selection
of:
| — | examination, testing and test
witnessing |
| — | documentation review, e.g. design, specification, certificate,
CE marking or other standards applied |
| — | visual examination of ongoing suitability of equipment,
through inspection, maintenance |
| — | assessment of any relevant quality and management systems |
| — | assessment and credit for work performed under classification
or duty holder's own scheme. |
These activities shall be performed at suitable times and
intervals to ensure that the equipment continues to meet the performance
requirements.
Sec.3
C 400 Initial suitability
Sec.3 C
401 Before the SCE is presented for verification the Duty Holder
is to ensure that it meets the performance standard. He can do this
in consultation with the OEM and any other relevant parties, as
part of his own assurance process. Once he is satisfied it is ready
the ICP will carry out the initial suitability work scope in accordance
with specifically generated Design Performance Standards. The scope
normally requires a documentation review and approval by the ICP
as well as inspection and testing of the SCE during the design, construction
and commissioning phases.
Sec.3 C
402 In the case of an existing SCE where a new PS is set, a similar
process of document review and testing would be carried out. Sec.3
C 500 Ongoing suitability
Sec.3 C
501 During operation of the scheme, DNV can act as the ICP and
carry out the examination activities described in the WSE. Examination
means careful and critical scrutiny of plant, in or out of service
as appropriate, using suitable techniques, including testing where
appropriate:- to assess its suitability for
the purpose for which it is used or provided;
- to assess its actual condition; and
- to determine any remedial measures that should be taken.
This examination will be one or all of inspect, test, review
or audit of the equipment and systems.
DNV as ICP will record:
| — | what has been done |
| — | findings of activities under the scheme |
| — | remedial action recommended |
| — | remedial action performed |
| — | ICP reservations. |
Note that temporary equipment which is, or affects, a safety-critical
element will also be subject to verification for initial suitability,
safe placement and hook-up, and continuing suitability (as necessary).
Sec.3 C
502 DNV will report any findings to the duty holder, who is then
required to ensure that the findings are notified and addressed
at an appropriate level of management. If the duty holder wishes,
these matters can be closed out by DNV when suitably addressed and
resolved with the duty holder.
Sec.3
C 600 Scheme revision and review
Sec.3 C
601 Where required under SCR, DNV will review and revise the effectiveness
of the scheme throughout operation. Reviews will address:| — | the record of SCE and performance
standards is valid and suitable |
| — | the written scheme is effective in verifying and maintaining
the SCE and performance standards. |
Modifications or additions to activities under the scheme
will be made where appropriate.
Sec.3 C
602 Further information regarding practical interpretation and
implementation of the regulations can be obtained from DNV on request.
Sec.3
C 700 Performance assurance
Sec.3 C
701 Other activities intended to ensure the safety and operability
of a unit or installation can be reviewed and credited in a written
scheme wherever appropriate. These can include:| — | duty holder's own "performance
assurance" such as planned maintenance, safety tests and
exercises etc. |
| — | classification |
| — | other 3rd party
certification and verification type activities. |
