This document provides recommendations for material selection, manufacturing and fabrication
requirements, testing and qualification of steel structures and components for offshore and onshore
petroleum and natural gas facilities operating in Arctic and cold environments.
This document is intended to be used as a supplement to existing standards for steel structures where
the particular operating conditions in Arctic regions are not sufficiently addressed.
This document gives particular requirements to ensure safe operation with respect to the risk of
brittle fracture at low temperatures. These requirements will affect the selection of material grade and
design class as well as the technical delivery conditions for steel. They will also affect the fabrication
requirements as well as testing and qualification requirements.Cross References:ISO 19901-1ISO 19900ISO 19906API RP 2ZISO 19901-2ISO 19901-4EN 10225:2009ISO 19902:2007API 579-1ISO 10474ISO 3834-2NORSOK N-004NORSOK N-003EN 10204ISO 15614 (all parts)ISO 6892-1ISO 6892-3BS 7910ASTM E208ISO 3834-3Incorporates the following:Corrigendum, November 2019
