Sec.1
A 400 Structure of this document
Section 1 explains the
relationship between this document and DNV's overall risk
based verification systematics.
Section
2 describes the activities for each project and
the project phases for lifting appliances for offshore applications.
Appendix
A poses trigger questions to assist in the selection of
verification level
Appendix
B gives detailed example scope of work tables
for the different phases and levels of involvement. These tables are
the basis for the development of project specific scope of work
tables.
Appendix
C gives example verification documents and describes
the documents issued during and as a result of the verification
process. The use of quality management systems is addressed here
also.
Appendix
D is a separate appendix for lifting appliances which
includes figures for information.
Sec.1
B. Risk Based Verification
Sec.1
B 100 Elements of the service
Sec.1 B
101 The risk based verification concept is described in DNV-OSS-300
and shown in Figure 1.
Sec.1 B
102 The Verification Plan is the pivot element, with the Asset
Specification, Risk Assessment and Definition of Involvement Level
as input and the Verification Execution being the implementation.
Fig. 1 The DNV Risk Based Verification Flow Chart
Sec.1
C. Defining a Verification Plan
Sec.1
C 100 Risk based verification planning
Sec.1 C
101 The selection of the level of verification shall depend on the
risk level of each of the elements that have an impact on the management
of hazards and associated risk levels of the asset. The planning
can be simplified or detailed. This is further described in DNV-OSS-300.
Sec.1 C
102 This specification mainly aids in a simplified preparation
of the Verification Plan.Sec.1
D. DNV Lifting Reports and Certificates
Sec.1
D 100 General on verification
Sec.1 D
101 Verification describes the individual activities undertaken
by DNV at the various stages of design, construction and operation
of the facility. The scope of the verification plan is ultimately
determined by the Client. A statement of Compliance may be issued
by DNV to confirm compliance according to the scope of work.Sec.1
D 200 General on certification
Sec.1 D
201 Certification describes the totality of verification activities
leading up to the issue of a Certificate of Conformity. The scope
of work and verification plan, called a Certification Plan, is set
by DNV. All design and construction aspects, related to process
facility safety and integrity, must be covered by the Certification
Plan.Sec.1
D 300 DNV Certificate of Lifting Appliance
Sec.1 D
301 In the event that DNV does not define the scope of work necessary
to achieve certification, a certificate of Lifting Appliance shall
not be issued. Sec.1
