Scope: This part of IEC 61892 is applicable to electrical installations and equipment in mobile and fixed offshore units, including pipeline, pumping or "pigging" stations, compressor stations and single buoy moorings, used in the offshore petroleum industry for drilling, production, accommodation, processing, storage and offloading purposes.
It applies to all installations, whether permanent, temporary, transportable or hand-held, to AC installations and DC installations without any voltage level limitation. Referenced equipment standards may give voltage level limitations.
This document specifies requirements such as those concerning
- environmental conditions,
- power supply characteristics,
- location of electrical equipment in units,
- protection against external influences,
- protection against electrical shock, and
- ignition source control.
This document gives information and guidance on topics such as
- cold climate protection, and
- surface treatment and protective painting system.
This document does not apply to
- fixed equipment for medical purposes,
- electrical installations of tankers, and
- control of ignition sources other than those created by electrical equipment.
NOTE 1 For medical rooms, IEC 60364-7-710 provides specific requirements. Requirements for tankers are given in IEC 60092-502.
NOTE 2 Guidance on protection of non-electrical equipment can be found in ISO 80079-36, ISO 80079-37 and IMO 2009 MODU Code, 6.7.Cross References:IEC 61892-7:2019BS IEC 61892-7:2019IEC 61892-2:2019IEC 61000-2-4:2002IEC 61892-6:2019ISO 11064IMO SOLAS 2014IEC 60364-4-41IEC 61892-3ISO 8468IEC 61892-5ISO 4628-1IEC 60092-502ISO 80079-37ISO 4628-5IEC 60364-7-710EN 1751ISO 12944-2IEC 60112ISO 4628-3ISO 12944-4IEC 60050ISO 9223IEC 60529ISO 4628-4ISO 12944-1ISO 80079-36IEC 60034-5ISO 4628-2ISO 12944-6IEC 60068-2-27CLC/TR 50427IEC 60079-0:2017IEC 60034-1:2017ISO 12944-5:2018ISO 13628-5:2009IEC 60664-1:2007All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
