Standards
This standard specifies
attachment fused and unfused plugs (caps), shuttered receptacles (sockets) for
flush surface mounting. These plugs and sockets are suitable for alternating
current circuits only of voltages not exceeding 250 volts and currents not
exceeding 15 amperes. The plugs and
receptacles covered by this standard are intended for use in making readily detachable
electrical connections in non-hazardous locations between supply circuits and
portable lamps, appliances and similar equipment.
This standards covers thermoplastic and rubber tapes for use as electrical insulation at not more than 600 V and at 80C (176 F) and lower temperatures on joints and splices in wires and cables in accordance with the National Electrical Code. It is intended that rubber tape on a joint or splice be mechanically protected by a covering such as friction tape . Thermoplastic tape is acceptable without the additional mechanical protection.
This British Standard specifies requirements for the construction dimensions and mechanical and electrical properties of non- armoured polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulated cables for operation at voltages up to and including 450 V a.c. to earth and 750 V a.c between conductors, intended for electric power lighting and internal wiring.
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.
Recommended Practice 1111 is available for purchase at American Petroleum Institute (API) https://www.apiwebstore.org/standards/1111
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.

This standard specifies requirements for gas-insulated, metal-enclosed switchgear in which the insulation is obtained, at least partly , by an insulting gas other than air at atmospheric pressure, for alternating current of rated voltage above 52 kV, for indoor and outdoor installation, and for services frequencies up to and including 60 Hz.
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.

This standard provides requirements for the installation and testing of blowout prevention equipment systems on land and marine drilling rigs (barge, platform, bottom-supported, and floating). This includes but is not limited to: BOPs (blowout preventers), Choke and kill lines, Choke and manifolds, Control systems, Auxiliary equipment. The primary functions of these systems are to confine well fluids to the wellbore, provide means to add fluid to the wellbore, and allow controlled volumes to be removed from the wellbore.
This standard does not apply to: Diverters, shut-in devices, and rotating head systems, as these systems are designed to safely divert or direct flow rather than to confine fluids to the well bore.
This standard is intended to be used together with API RP 59.
