DNV-OSS-301 Certification and Verification of Pipelines
|
Sec.1
C. Certification
Sec.1
C 100 Certification to DNV-OS-F101
Sec.1 C
101 The certification process described in this OSS is tailor-made
for pipeline systems in accordance with DNV-OS-F101.
Sec.1 C
102 Wherever DNV-OS-F101 refers to acceptance, agreement and qualification
this shall be by DNV. A list of these instances is provided in Appendix B.Sec.1
C 200 Certification to other standards
Sec.1 C
201 DNV certification to internationally recognised standards
other than DNV-OS-F101 shall follow the principles described in
this OSS.
Sec.1 C
202 Where combinations of standards and external criteria are
used the exact terms of reference and documents to be issued shall
be agreed at the beginning of the project and formally defined in
the contract.
Sec.1 C
203 The use of other standards does not allow for a reduction of
the quality management requirements as described in the safety philosophy
of DNV-OS-F101.
Sec.1 C
204 DNV reserves the right to call for additional requirements
to cover issues essential to the certification process and not covered
by the standards in question.
Sec.1 C
205 It is recommended strongly not to mix standards due to the
possible differences in safety philosophies.Guidance note:
Most standards are a coherent collection of requirements for
all the relevant aspects of a pipeline system. These aspects, e.g.
load and resistance, are normally among themselves adjusted to give an
overall acceptable safety level. To pick requirements from different
standards can then easily result in unpredictable (low) levels of
safety. ---e-n-d---o-f---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---
