DNV-OSS-304 Risk Based Verification of Offshore Structures |
This 'Service Specification' is a second
tier document in a suite of DNV's Offshore Service Specifications
(OSS) covering Verification and Certification for the oil and gas
industry.
The suite of DNV-OSS documents consists of a general description
of the verification systematic, DNV-OSS-300 Risk Based Verification,
and object specific documents like the current document.
The idea is that the general document shall give the common frame
work and processes that DNV can benefit from doing and documenting
in the same manner. The object specific ones shall tie the frame
work and processes to the relevant technical aspects.
The scope of the top tier document is to give an overview
of DNV Verification Services within the oil and gas industry (offshore
and onshore). It introduces a three-level description of verification
involvement during all phases of an asset life. Depending on the
overall risk associated with an asset or particular aspects or elements
within it, the OSS facilitates a categorisation into risk levels
High, Medium and Low. The document assists in evaluation of the
risk level, planning the verification through the making of a Verification
Plan, and describing the documentation of the process.
The scope of the present document is to give detailed descriptions
of DNV's approach to verification of structures for the
oil and gas industry. It describes the elements of verification
and exemplifies the type and extent of verification involvement
for each of the levels High, Medium and Low.
The value to DNV's customers and the stakeholders
will be the existence of an international standard allowing a transparent and
predictable verification scope definition, as well as a defined
terminology of verification involvement. The value to DNV lies in
enabling the making of its services and their delivery uniform world
wide.
