Scope: This part of IEC 61892 is applicable to electrical 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- enclosures, with regard to material, marking (nameplates and labels), ventilation, earthing, EMC and short-circuit rating of components, and- specific requirements related to use in an offshore unit, such as* generators and motors,* transformers,* switchgear and control gear assemblies,* instrumentation of power sources,* semiconductor converters,* secondary cells and batteries,* luminaires,* communication equipment,* control and instrumentation, and* accessories for accommodation and similar areas.
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 Specific requirements in relation to electrical equipment in hazardous areas are given in IEC 61892-7.
NOTE 3 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 62271-106IEC TR 60269-5IEC 60529IEC 60146-2IEC 60034-14IMO SOLAS 2014IEC 60331IEC 60269-3IEC 60945IEC 61378-1IEC 60598-2-22IEC 61097IEC 60146-1-3IEC TR 60616IEC 62485-2IEC 61869-3IEC 60622IEC 60947-4-1IEC 62395-1IEC 62040-2IEC 62271-100IEC 60947-3IEC 62259IEC 60598-2-2IEC 60146-1-1IEC 61892-5IEC 62271-102IEC 60076-11IEC 60282-2IEC 61892-1:2019IEC 62271-203:2011IEC 62271-201:2014IEC TR 62778:2014IEC TR 61641:2014IEC 61439-2:2011BS IEC 61892-1:2019IEC 61439-1:2011IEC 62271-200:2011IEC 61800IEC 60335-1IEC 60669IEC 61892-2IEC 60896-11IEC 60076IEC 60598-2-5IEC 60598-1IEC 60309-4IEC 60034-1IEC TR 60146-1-2IEC 60623IEC 61869-2IEC 60896-21IEC 60519-10IEC 60896-22IEC 62262IEC 60269-1IEC 60309-1IEC 60282-1IEC 61558IEC 60884IEC 60332-1-2IEC 60906IEC 60598-2-1IEC 60947-2IEC 60073:2002IEC TS 60034-25IEC 60533IEC 60092-501IEC TR 62482IEC 61034-2ISO 7919-1IEC 60754-1ISO 80079-36IEC 61892-6IEC 60364-7-710IEC/IEEE 60079-30-2IEC 62271-209IEC 62395-2IEC 60050ISO 14122-2IEC 60092-502IEC 61892-7ISO 80079-37IEC 60364-4-41IMO Resolution A.801(19)IEC 60695-2-11IEC 60754-2IEC 62271-4ISO 8528-5IEC 62271-1IEC/IEEE 60079-30-1ISO 10816-1All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
