This standard specifies a system of designating the sizes of clothing, the control dimensions on which the size designation is based and the method of indicating these dimensions on the label.

This standard also specifies body dimensions related to each size, as stated in Appendix A.

This national standard specifies requirements for a management system where a micro, small, and medium-sized enterprise:

a) needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently meet applicable requirements for quality and occupational safety and health; and

b) aims to enhance its performance, through the process of continual improvement, assurance of conformity to applicable quality and occupational safety and health requirements, and the prevention of nonconformity by the application of this system.

This part of the IEC 61970 series provides a set guidelines and general infrastructure capabilities required for the application of the EMS -API interface standards . This part of the IEC 61760 series describes typical integration scenarios where these standard are to be applied and the of types of application to be integrated . A reference model is defined to provide a framework for the application of the other parts of these EMS- API standard. This reference model is based on a component interfaces for information exchange between applications in a control center environment . While the primary objective of the EMS-API is to support the integration of applications within the control center applications and systems external to the control center environment , such as other control centers, ISOs RTOs and distribution systems, This standard describes the role of the other parts of the standards , including the common information model (CIM) in the IEC 61970-3XX series the component interface specifications (CIS) in the IEC 61970-4XX series and technology mappings in the IEC 61770 - %XX series.

This Technical Report presents an overview and guidance for the IEC 61158 series. It explains the structure and content of IEC 61158, shows how to use it in combination with IEC 61784, and relates the structures to the ISO/IEC 7498 OSI Basic Reference Model.

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.
 
Recommended Practice 75 is available for purchase at the https://www.apiwebstore.org/standards/59 . 

This recommended practice provides companies engaged in offshore operations with a framework for the establishment, implementation, and maintenance of a Safety and Environmental Management System (SEMS) to manage and reduce risks associated with safety and the environment to prevent incidents and events.

This recommended practice applies, in part or whole, to companies engaged in offshore operations, from lease evaluation through decommissioning.

For the purpose of simplicity and clarity in this recommended practice, the word “safety” or “safely” can refer to the management of safety and environmental risks.

NOTE Although this recommended practice is written for offshore operations, its principles can be applied to other offshore industries after performing an engineering and management analysis.

 
Recommended Practice 75 is available for purchase at the API Publication Store. 

This recommended practice (RP) provides general information and guidance for the development of oil spill responder personal protective equipment (PPE) control measures. Although an extensive amount of information has been developed on the topic of PPE for emergency responders, this document focuses on the PPE selection process as well as its technical evaluation based on the hazards present.

This RP is intended for any company, organization, or agency that oversees or responds to oil spills. It is not a comprehensive "how-to" guide to selecting PPE for every type of situation that may be encountered; rather, it is a guidance document that discusses how proper PPE selection may be a useful control measure for responders when engineering and administrative controls may not be feasible or effective in reducing exposure to acceptable levels.

Recommended Practice 98 is available for purchase at the API Publication Store:  https://www.apiwebstore.org/standards/98

 

This recommended practice (RP) sets criteria for the design, construction, testing, operation, and maintenance of offshore steel pipelines used in the production, production support, or transportation of hydrocarbons; that is, the movement by pipeline of hydrocarbon liquids, gases, and mixtures of these hydrocarbons with water. This RP may also be used for water injection pipelines offshore. The RP also applies to any transportation piping facilities located on a production platform downstream of separation and treatment facilities, including meter facilities, gas compression facilities, liquid pumps, associated piping, and appurtenances. The design, construction, inspection, and testing provisions of this RP may not apply to offshore hydrocarbon pipelines designed or installed before this latest revision of the RP was issued. The operation and maintenance provisions of this RP are suitable for application to existing facilities. 

This document provides subsea capping stack recommended practices for design, manufacture, and use. The document applies to the construction of new subsea capping stacks. The document can aid in generating a basis of design (BOD) document, as well as preservation, transportation, maintenance, testing documents, and operating instructions.

This document does not address procedures and equipment downstream of the capping stack. All equipment and operations downstream of the subsea capping stack are considered part of a containment system and are not within the scope of this recommended practice.

Annex A contains a discussion of possible subsea capping contingency procedures. Annex B contains example procedures for deployment, well shut-in, recovery, and storage of a subsea capping stack.

Recommended Practice 17W is available for purchase at American Petroleum Institute (API) website www.api.org   

This recommended practice is based on global industry best practices and serves as a guide for those who are concerned with the design and construction of new fixed offshore platforms and for the relocation of existing platforms used for the drilling, development, production, and storage of hydrocarbons in offshore areas.
