Standards

This standard gives requirements for the design, location, construction, and maintenance of septic tanks. It includes methods of treatment and disposal of septic tank effluent from domestic sewage. This standard is applicable to individual housing units and institutions where the number of users does not exceed twenty (20) persons. For buildings with more than twenty (20) users an alternative treatment method should be considered with the approval from the relevant authorities.

These requirements cover products which are molded of insulating material and are molded of insulating material and are intended to cover the outlet slots of receptacles having 1-15R and 5-15R configurations in accordance with Wiring Devices - Dimensional Specifications, ANSI/NEMA WD6.

This British Standard specifies requirements for sheets of factory-made machine-welded steel fabric for the reinforcement of concrete, manufactured from ribbed bars conforming to BS 4449:2005, or manufactured from wire conforming to BS 4482 for wrapping fabrics D49 and D98.

NOTE 1 Where the term “bar” is used in this standard, it includes bar or recoiled product conforming to BS 4449:2005. For clarity only. It can also include wire conforming to BS 4482 for wrapping fabrics only.

This document specifies requirements for and gives guidance on the application of life cycle costing to create value for the development activities and operations associated with drilling, exploitation, processing and transport of petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas resources. This document covers facilities and associated activities within different business categories (upstream, midstream, downstream and petrochemical).

The extent of planning and management depends on the magnitude of the costs involved, the potential value that can be created and the life cycle phase. It also provides the means of identifying cost drivers and provides a cost-control framework for these cost drivers, allowing effective cost control and optimization over the entire life of an asset.

This document specifies requirements and gives recommendations on the management of integrity of a pipeline system throughout its life cycle, which includes design, construction, commissioning, operation, maintenance and abandonment.

This document is applicable to offshore pipelines for transporting petroleum and natural gas. It is applicable to rigid steel pipelines. It is not applicable to flexible pipelines, dynamic risers or those constructed from other materials, such as glass-reinforced plastics.

NOTE 1 An offshore pipeline system extends to:

— the first valve, flange or connection above water on platform or subsea mechanical connector with subsea structure (i.e. manifold or dynamic riser);

— the connection point to the offshore installation (i.e. piping manifolds are not included);

— the first valve, flange, connection or isolation joint at a landfall, unless otherwise specified by the onshore legislation.

NOTE 2 The components mentioned above (valve, flange, connection, isolation joint) include also any pup pieces, i.e. the offshore pipeline system extends to the weld beyond the pup piece, see Figure 1.

This document is used for integrity management, which is initiated at the design and construction stage of the pipeline. Where requirements of a design and construction standard (e.g. ISO 13623) are different, the provisions of this document will enhance the design and construction from an integrity perspective.

This standard establishes the procedures for operations to retain pressure control of the well under pre-kick conditions and recommended practices to be utilized during a kick.
