Standards

This technical report applies to medical electrical equipment (as declined in subclauses 3.63 of IEC 60601 -1 2005 and 2.2 15 IEC 60601-1 : 1988) hereinafter referred to as me equipment.

This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following. This International standard deals with the safety of electric fans for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances.

This part of IEC 61400 deals with mechanical load measurements on wind turbines . It mainly focuses on large (.40 m2 electricity generating horizontal axis wind turbines. However, the methods described might be applicable to other wind turbines as well for example, mechanical water pumpers, vertical axis turbines.

This technical report introduces the concept of functional safety and gives an overview of the IEC 61508 series.

This part of the ISO/IEC 9314 specifies the Media access control (MAC) the middle sublayer of the data link layer (DLL) for fiber distributed data interface (FDD). FDDI (ISO/IEC 9314) provides a high- bandwidth (100 Mbits) general - purpose interconnection among information processing systems, subsystems and peripheral equipment, using fiber optics or other transmission media. (FDDI can be configured to support a sustained data transfer rate of at least 80 Mbits/s (10 Mbyte/s). FDDI provides connectively for many nodes distributed over distances of many kilometers in extent. Certain default parameter values for FDDI (eg. timer settings) are calculated on the basis of up to 1000 transmission links or up to 200 km total fiber path length (typically corresponding to 500 nodes and 100 km of dual fiber cable, respectively) however, the FDDI protocols can support much larger networks by increasing these parameter values.

This technical specification provides design, testing and loading information for uses by both the manufacturer and user of liquid-immersed power transformers using either high temperature insulation or combination of high-temperature and conventional insulation. It is application to power transformers designed in accordance with IEC 60076-1. - - convertor transformers designed to IEC 61378. - arc furnace transformers. and covers the use of various liquid and solid insulation combinations..

This International standard defines an input/output bus for interconnecting computers and peripheral devices. It defines extensions to the small computer system interface (ISO 9316:1989), referred to herein to herein as SCSI-1. Its also provides more complete standardization of the previously characteristics of the interface to allow inter-operability of conforming devices. This International standards is referred to herein as SCS1-2. The term SCS1 is used wherever it is not necessary between the two version

This document establishes requirements and provides guidelines for subsurface safety valve (SSSV) system equipment. This includes requirements for SSSV system design, installation, operation, testing, redress, support activities, documentation, and failure reporting. SSSV system equipment addressed by this document includes control systems, control lines, SSSVs, and secondary tools as defined herein. SSSV types including surface controlled (SCSSV), sub-surface controlled (SSCSV), and sub-surface injection safety valves (SSISV) are included. Requirements for testing of SSSVs including frequency and acceptance criteria are included. Alternate technology SSSV equipment and systems are included in these requirements. This document is not applicable to design, qualification, or repair activities for SSSVs. This document does not specify when a SSSV is required.

1 Scope 1.1 Coverage The purpose of this document is to recommend practices and procedures for promoting and maintaining safe and healthy working conditions for personnel in drilling and well servicing operations.

1.2 Applicability These recommendations apply to rotary drilling rigs, well servicing rigs, and special services as they relate to operations on location. It is intended that the applicable requirements and recommendations of some sections of the document be applied, as appropriate, to other sections. The recommendations are not intended to cover seismic drilling or water well drilling operations. These recommendations do not apply to site preparation and site remediation operations.

1.3 Responsibility Employers have the responsibility to identify, communicate, and mitigate hazards at the work site. A process of risk assessment may be an effective method to protect employees at the work site.

This recommended practice (RP) provides guidance for floating system integrity management (FSIM) of floating production systems (FPSs), which include tension leg platforms (TLPs), used by the petroleum and natural gas industries to support drilling, production, storage, and/or offloading operations.

FPSs described in this RP are governed by local regulatory requirements and recognized classification society (RCS) rules (if classed). No specific regulatory compliance or RCS requirements are restated in this RP. The requirements of this RP do not apply to mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs) or to mobile offshore units (MOUs) used in support of construction operations. For integrity management (IM) considerations, these units are typically governed by RCS rules, and include, among others:

— floating systems intended primarily to perform drilling and/or well intervention operations even when used for extended well test operations;

— floating systems used for offshore construction operations (e.g. crane barges or pipelay barges), for temporary or permanent offshore living quarters, or for transport of equipment or products (e.g. transportation barges, cargo barges); for these, see appropriate RPs.

This RP does not address moorings or risers; these are addressed separately by API 2MIM and API 2RIM, respectively. Dynamic positioning is not covered in this RP.

The following types of floating systems are explicitly covered by this RP:

— ship-shaped floating systems and barges (monohull or otherwise);

— semisubmersibles;

— spars;

— tension leg platforms (TLPs), including tendon systems.

The following types of floating system components are included within the context of this RP:

— hull structure, including above water, below water, and internal (i.e. hull compartments) structure and corrosion protection systems (e.g., coatings, cathodic potential, etc.);

— structural systems, such as turrets, topsides structure, helidecks, flares, cranes, and process decks, and their interfaces with the hull structure;

— mooring system support structure on the hull (e.g. foundations for chain jacks, fairleads, chain stoppers, etc.)

— tendon systems, including foundations;

— marine systems, such as ballast, bilge, venting, soundings, firefighting systems, cargo systems, emergency power, propulsion, steering, sensors, alarms, and controls (vessels in transit are not included);

— permanent means of access and egress, including walkways, grating, handrails;

— structural interfaces between hull structure and riser system;

— appurtenances;

— life safety appliances.

This RP is directly applicable to oil and gas producing floating systems operating at ambient temperature, including floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) plants, except for the aspects related to handling and storage of cryogenic liquids.

The FSIM process provided in this RP is applicable to floating systems installed at any location worldwide. However, the referenced metocean criteria has regional limitations.
