BS IEC 61892-1:2019

This part of IEC61892 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. NOTE1 For medical rooms, IEC60364‑7‑710 provides specific requirements. Requirements for tankers are given in IEC60092‑502 . NOTE2 Guidance on protection of non-electrical equipment can be found in ISO80079‑36 , ISO80079‑37 and IMO2009MODUCode, 6.7.
