Standards

This CARICOM regional Standard provides requirements for the identification, composition, purity, hygiene in processing, labelling, sampling and testing of spices and sauces. It does not apply to ketchups, barbeque-flavour sauces, spices derived from plants which are not specified in this standard, sauces made from recipes or formulae which are not specified in this standard, vinegars flavoured with spices or plant material extracts; and essential oils, extracts, or oleo-resins derived from spices that are intended to be used as flavouring or colouring agents in food.

This document is applicable to packaged natural coconut water which is offered for sale and consumption. It applies only to coconut water which has been packaged in its natural state without the use of additives.

This standard applies to packaged natural coconut water, as defined in clause 3, which is offered for consumption. It only applies to coconut water which has been packaged in its natural state without the use of additives. 

This document specifies the procedure for marking containers or labels for fertilizers.

This document is applicable to all fertilizers in containers or bulk.

This International Standard specifies the procedure for marking containers or labels for fertilizers, where national legislation permits. 

It is applicable to all fertilizers in containers. 

This CARICOM Regional Standard specifies requirements and methods of test for pasta products made from semolina, durum flour, wheat flour, farina flour or any suitable wheat flour. This standard is applicable to pasta classified as macaroni, spaghetti, vermicelli, noodles and egg noodles. This standard also applies to pasta products used in preparing other foods or included in packages of ingredients that are prepared for retail sale. EXAMPLE Pasta used in canned soups, soup mixes, macaroni and cheese dinners. This CARICOM Regional Standard is not applicable to Asian/Oriental style noodles including chowmein or chaomein and to other food in forms resembling pasta products made from rice, beans or cereals other than wheat.

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.
