Foreword
The NORSOK standards are developed by the Norwegian petroleum industry to ensure adequate safety, value adding and cost effectiveness for petroleum industry developments and operations. Furthermore, NORSOK standards are as far as possible intended to replace oil company specifications and serve as references in the authorities regulations. The NORSOK standards are normally based on recognised international standards, adding the provisions deemed necessary to fill the broad needs of the Norwegian petroleum industry. Where relevant, NORSOK standards will be used to provide the Norwegian industry input to the international standardisation process. Subject to development and publication of international standards, the relevant NORSOK standard will be withdrawn. The NORSOK standards are developed according to the consensus principle generally applicable for most standards work and according to established procedures defined in NORSOK A-001. The NORSOK standards are prepared and published with support by The Norwegian Oil Industry Association (OLF) and Federation of Norwegian Manufacturing Industries (TBL). NORSOK standards are administered and published by Standards Norway. Annexes B, C, E, F, G, H and I are normative, while Annexes A and D are informative.
Introduction
This revision is a minor adjustment related to Rev 2, January 2004, which was a major change related to Rev 1, July 1998. Some requirements have been made more precise with a special attention to requirements related to battery systems. Also minor adjustments on the checklists for "U05-Steam generator" and "U06-Mobile crane" have been carried out. Rev 2 was not issued in English. Due to extensive modifications, this NORSOK standard is published without references to changes made to Rev 1 and 2.

Technical requirements
Introduction
Technical requirements and checklists
4.1.1.1 Technical requirements in this NORSOK standard Clause 4 contains the detailed technical requirements for temporary equipment. Subclause 4.2 describes various types of container that are defined and also includes special requirements that can apply to various types of container. Technical requirements for a container are the sum of the requirements for the relevant container stated in 4.2. Subclause 4.3 describes various types of equipment and includes special requirements for this equipment. The equipment can be installed on a skid or in a container. Technical requirements for a temporary piece of equipment are the sum of the requirements for the relevant piece of equipment stated in 4.3. NORSOK standard Page 5 of 50
Subclause 4.4 is divided into further subclauses for different disciplines and contains general discipline requirements. The technical requirements for a temporary equipment are the sum of the requirements for the relevant container in 4.2, the equipment in 4.3 and discipline area stated in 4.4. In addition the general requirements for Ex-protection (see 4.5), marking and tagging/labelling (see 4.6), interface with the installation (see 4.7) and documentation (see 4.8) also apply. 4.1.1.2 Other technical requirements In addition to the requirements in this NORSOK standard, authorities requirements (regulations) and other recognised standards relating to the relevant equipment also apply. Where appropriate, this NORSOK standard therefore refers to other documents for more detailed descriptions of the requirements. See also section 8, third last paragraph of the guidelines to the "Frame regulations", which states: "Practices or customs in the industry, requirements and specifications stated in other documents such as industry standards, which are nationally and internationally recognised within a discipline area, for example standards prepared under the direction of CEN, CENELEC, ISO and IEC will also be normative. The same applies to industry standards prepared under the direction of NORSOK and API, etc. In addition, classification societies and other government bodies have prepared regulations that do not apply directly to the petroleum activities but are nevertheless relevant to the discipline area. The same applies for authorities requirements that do not directly apply to the petroleum activities but regulate equivalent or overlapping areas, for example requirements issued by the Norwegian Maritime Directorate, Directorate for Labour Inspection etc." 4.1.1.3 Checklists In connection with the dispatch and receiving control of temporary equipment, checklists as shown in Annex C shall be used. A description of the requirements in connection with the items on the checklist, and the extent to which these requirements apply to a specified piece of equipment is provided in this NORSOK standard. The reference stated in the checklist indicates where the requirement is described. Note that only some of the most actual requirements are included on the checklist for verification. 4.1.2 Overview of equipment and requirements with references Types of container described in this NORSOK standard - References (4.2): Type A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q Y Z Description Accommodation container Office, coffee bar, laboratories, etc. Workshop for hot work Compressor, waste handling Workshop for cold work (Vacant) Container for diesel engine (Vacant) Stores for flammable material Stores for non-flammable material (Vacant) Painters workshop Refrigeration/freezer container Radio and communications room Toilet container Motor control centre (Vacant) Other container with ignition sources Other container without ignition sources Subclause 4.2.1 4.2.2 4.2.3 4.2.4 4.2.5 4.2.6 4.2.7 4.2.8 4.2.9 4.2.10 4.2.11 4.2.12 4.2.13 4.2.14 4.2.15 4.2.16 4.2.17 4.2.18 4.2.19

Explanation of terminology used in the table with reference to the letter used: a. Gas detectors "Gas detectors in adjacent area(s)" means that the installation is fitted with gas detection equipment in areas where there are potential sources of leakage and/or where gas from these potential sources of leakage will disperse. Any gas leakage shall be detectable before reaching the diesel engine. b. Ignition source shutdown "Ignition source shutdown" means that the diesel engine is connected to an ignition source control or shutdown system that shuts down the engine automatically when a low level of gas is detected (usually 10 % LEL) anywhere on the installation. This requirement applies to diesel engines that are used in non-critical activities. For critical equipment and activities with diesel engines, see 4.3.1.3. c. Automatic closure of air inlet Diesel engines shall be fitted with the following safety devices: overspeed protection; automatic rapid closing valve in combustion air inlet; rapid closing valve in fuel inlet.
Should gas reach the combustion air inlet without being detected this arrangement will ensure a rapid shutdown of the engine. d. Ex-approved equipment It is recommended that diesel engines are located in non-hazardous areas. If diesel engines are located closed to or in zone 2, the engine and all equipment on the machinery shall be approved for installation in zone 2, see 4.3.1.4. 4.3.2 Type U02: Air compressors Description of equipment: Diesel operated or electrically operated compressor unit for the supply of compressed air. Equipment requirements: For requirements to diesel engines, see 4.3.1. For requirements to electric motors, see 4.4.6.1. For general requirements to Ex-rating, see 4.5. For requirements to frames and lifting equipment, see 4.4.1. Noise suppression shall comply with NORSOK S-002, 5.5. Supply air shall be taken from non-hazardous areas. Supply air duct shall be secured against leaks (allwelded or flanged with seals). g) Fan belts shall be antistatic. h) Drip tray for collecting oil or diesel leaks shall be installed. i) The compressor shall be fitted with different stop and safety functions, including - gas detector in air inlet, see paragraph below the table, - local emergency stop, see 4.4.8, - remotely controlled emergency shutdown from control room, - various protection devices for the compressor. These shall as a minimum protect against low oil pressure and excessive cooling fluid temperature. NORSOK standard Page 13 of 50 a) b) c) d) e) f)
The functions shall as a minimum meet the requirements in the table below. Gas detection in air inlet (automatic) Compressor shutdown Power disconnection Isolation of ignition sources X X X Local emergency stop (manual) X Remote-controlled ESD from control room X X X Engine protection (automatic)
Gas detector requirements for compressor If the compressor air inlet is located in a container or other room with mechanical ventilation with a gas detector in the ventilation air inlet, there is no requirement for a gas detector in the compressor air inlet. The compressor shall be shut down when gas is detected on the installation (ignition source shutdown). For compressors with air inlet located in naturally ventilated areas, gas detector is requirement. Dispensations from this requirement can be handled in accordance with the same criteria as described for diesel engines in 4.3.1.5. Air compressors that are part of the start-up system for temporary diesel engines are exempt from the gas detector requirement. Other references The "Regulations for compressed air systems" also apply. If specified by the requisitioner, the requirements in NORSOK R-001, 2.3 and 5.3, shall be met for larger units. 4.3.3 Type U03: Vessels/tanks Equipment requirements: a) b) c) d) Vessels/tanks shall be approved, maintained and tagged/labelled in accordance with the IMDG code.

4.4.1 Structural Lifting devices DNV 2.7.1, EN 12079 or equivalent standard shall be used for design verification, testing and approval of all types of devices attached to a lifting device's lifting hook, such as containers, steel baskets, frames, lifting yokes, chains and wire rope slings. There is no drop-test requirement for devices that are not used for the transport of dangerous goods. Such devices can be tested and approved by an authorised company. A definition of what constitutes dangerous goods is provided in the IMDG code. Fire classification For containers that are normally unmanned and do not contain flammable material, there is no requirement for fire classification provided that the container is of steel or aluminium construction. Other containers shall satisfy the general requirement to fire classification A0. Containers in which equipment is in operation during emergency situations shall satisfy the requirement to fire classification A-60 (unless the company has specified otherwise), such as diesel operated emergency generators (type F) and emergency MCC room (type P). For accommodation containers, see 4.2.1.
There is no requirement to fire dampers in containers fire with class rating A0 or lower. However, there is a requirement for fire dampers for accommodation containers. For other containers requirements for fire damper are to be specified by requisitioner, if applicable. Emergency exit Containers that are permanently or periodically manned, and either have an internal area exceeding 20 m2 or the distance to the exit door exceeds 5 m (if there are several rooms or air locks this means the furthest distance to the outer door), shall have a separate emergency exit. The emergency exit shall have a minimum size of 800 mm x 800 mm and be possible to open from both sides. Doors All personnel access doors shall be self-closing. This requirement does not apply to transport doors or emergency exits. In general, doors shall open outwards (away from the container). For containers with pressurisation ventilation, doors shall open inwards (into the container). Alternatively the door can open outwards if the container is fitted with an overpressure protection device (not a flow switch). Air locks There are no requirements for an air lock in containers placed in non-hazardous areas. Containers approved for use in zone 2, and which contain ignition sources (non-Ex-proof), shall have pressurisation ventilation and should have an air lock. Containers approved for use in zone 1, and which contain ignition sources (non-Ex-proof equipment), shall have pressurisation ventilation and air lock. See NEK IEC 61892-7, Clause 8.

4.4.2 Fire protection and alarms Fire detection A fire detection and alarm system shall quickly, safely and unambiguously detect and warn of fire or potential outbreak of fire. Fire detection and alarm is required in cases where there is a real possibility that a fire can arise or be sustained. Automatic fire alarm systems shall satisfy the requirements in NORSOK S-001, Annex F. The system shall be complete with a dedicated control cabinet (preferably combined with the systems for monitoring gas and pressurisation in ventilated containers) and detectors. The detectors shall be located according to the most probable causes of fire. If fire is detected the local alarm in the container shall be activated. In noisy areas (over 85 dbA) there shall be a yellow flashing light in addition to the local alarm in the container, see NORSOK S-001, 9.5. A local emergency shutdown system in the container shall also be provided for safe and controlled shutdown of the equipment. The control panel shall have an output signal for alarm to CCR, see 4.4.4. Portable extinguishers Portable extinguishers are required in cases where there is a real possibility that a fire can arise or be sustained, as well as in all normally manned containers. Portable fire extinguishers of adequate size and quantity suitable for the anticipated course of fire shall accompany the equipment. Permanent brackets for such appliances shall be provided. The following standards shall be met: For portable fire extinguishers: EN 3-6. For location and quantity: DSB: Fire Protection Act with regulations and guidelines, section 4-3 relating to manual fire extinguishers. For control and maintenance: NS 3910.
Fire extinguishing systems for rooms Containers in which equipment has a particularly high risk of fire (flammable material, flammable liquids and hot surfaces) or where a fire can arise and will have a particularly high safety risk for personnel, shall be fitted with a room fire extinguishing system. This applies for example for accommodation and diesel containers. When this requirement applies to permanently and periodically manned containers, the fire extinguishing system shall be an automatic release sprinkler system. The sprinkler system shall be protected against frost. In other containers, other systems can be used. Requirements for room fire extinguishing systems also apply in cases where equipment with an extra high risk of fire is installed on a skid and enclosed as a closed room due to noise emission, fire requirements and environmental requirements. 4.4.3 Gas and explosion protection Gas detector The gas detection and alarm system shall provide a quick and reliable alarm of explosive gases. The system shall be complete with a dedicated control cabinet (preferably combined with the systems for monitoring fire and pressurisation in ventilated containers) and detectors, and shall be capable of shutting down the equipment locally. This system and the system for ventilation shall always be Ex-proof accepted for zone 1. Automatic gas alarm systems shall meet the requirements in NORSOK S-001, 9.2, and Annex F. Gas detectors shall be installed in all air inlets to mechanically ventilated containers, in all air inlets on combustion engines and compressors, and in all ventilation outlets from classified areas. If the air inlet goes to several containers it is only necessary to monitor the common inlet. In general, it is acceptable to have a detector in the air inlet without voting system, see NORSOK S-001, Annex F. In containers where all installation is Ex-proof and where the use of tools or equipment will not create any ignition potential, gas detectors are not necessary in any air inlets. For alternatives to gas detectors and further details, see s 4.3.1.5 (combustion engines), 4.3.2 (air compressor) and 4.5.2 (air inlet, general).
NORSOK standard
Page 18 of 50
If gas is detected the local alarm in the container shall be activated. In noisy areas (over 85 dbA) there shall be a yellow flashing light in addition to the local alarm in the container, see NORSOK S-001, 9.5. The control panel shall have an output signal for alarm to CCR, see 4.4.4. The alarm to the CCR shall always be given at 10 % LEL. Local ignition source disconnection In containers where gas detectors are installed, a local ESD shall provide a safe and controlled shutdown of the equipment (disconnection of all sources of ignition). Emergency shutdown level (disconnection of ignition sources): a) If the container does not contain important equipment, disconnection shall occur at 10 % LEL. b) If the container contains important equipment, disconnection shall occur at 30 % LEL (if two or more detectors, when the first reaches 30 % LEL). Emergency shutdown level "B" shall be agreed between the supplier and the company. c) If automatic shutdown of the equipment increases the risk to personnel, the emergency shutdown system shall warn the operator in a permanently manned control station. For such alerts the operator shall immediately commence shutdown of the equipment in accordance with approved procedures. For emergency shutdown level "c", the procedure for shutdown of the equipment shall form part of the documentation that accompanies the equipment, see 4.8.2. This shall include the procedure for manual shutdown in the event of gas. The implementation of manual shutdown shall be clarified with and approved by the responsible person in the company in connection with the requisition. The approval shall be added to the checklist from the supplier. This requirement applies for equipment, which contain power sources, e.g. diesel engine or battery. The requirement does not apply for minor battery systems which are Ex-proof (for example emergency light) or other power systems, e.g. accumulator with compressed gas. Central ignition source disconnection Most installations also have a system for shutting down the power supply to temporary equipment. Especially for equipment mentioned in b) and c) above, checks shall be carried out to ensure that the power supply from the installation is not shut down at lower levels. There is also a general requirement that containers or equipment that are not approved for zone 1 shall have a power supply from the installation that is connected to the ignition source disconnection system, e.g. the installations electrical sockets. See 4.5 for details. Shutdown of UPS and battery systems For battery systems which can be disconnected when main power is lost, the installation main power voltage is used as the disconnect signal, see description of emergency stop in 4.4.4. See 4.4.6.4. 4.4.4 Signals to/from central control room
a) Signal from container or equipment to CCR Depending on the configuration of the container or equipment, the following signals shall be transmittable: Gas alarm (always for equipment fitted with a gas detector). Fire alarm (always for equipment fitted with a fire detector). Manual alarm. Loss of pressurisation (always for equipment fitted with a device for monitoring air supply or pressurisation, see 4.4.7. Condition monitoring alarms (can be connected to a common alarm to the CCR).
Signals from containers to the CCR shall be voltage-free contacts, where the activated signal (alarm) shall be a closed contact. These signals shall be available individually inside a local panel or in a junction box inside the container or on the equipment. The connection interface will vary on different installations. In many cases there is a requirement for ohm resistors in parallel and in series with signal contact for circuit monitoring. "Z-015 Data Sheets for installation" shall therefore be checked in every case, see Annex B.

Safety measures in connection with the use of mono cable with shut-in well
These measures are intended to provide users with guidelines when hooking-up well intervention equipment which requires electrical power cable and where one of the cables conductors is the uninsulated wire layer that encircles the insulated conductor(s). The measures are based on experiences from previous operations and the SINTEF report no. TR A4596 and SINTEF report no. TR F4975. Typical activities in which these measures shall be implemented are the use of well tractor or Patch Flex.
F.2
The technical surveys performed by SINTEF were aimed at assessing and establishing limits for current and voltage in combination with other safety measures, there shall be no danger to personnel (electric shock), or ignition of any gas mixtures in the area. The following current and voltage limits are fixed: Alternating current (AC) = 1000 V and 10 A Direct current (DC) = 1500 V and 25 A
F.3
Earthing and equipotential contacts shall ensure the prevention of hazardous voltages and/or currents that can represent ignition sources for any gas mixtures, or represent an electric shock hazard for personnel. Measurement results and calculations in the SINTEF reports no. TR A4596 and TR F4975 show that by carrying out earthing or equipotential connections as described in this NORSOK standard, currents and voltages between the circuit and well equipment or structure in the area will be lower than the values set for explosion-proof equipment rated Exi (intrinsically safe). Most of the current travels through the structure of the installation, a small part flows into the grease head/flow tubes and returns to the current source via the earth cable from the well to the slipring/winch, while only a minor part returns to the current source via the cables armouring. The sum of these currents is the total; based on the measurements carried out, no undefined current paths have been identified.

6) Check that the short-circuit protection is set in accordance with the circuits maximum resistance (the length of the cable shall be included in the calculation). 7) Check that the well equipment is adequately earthed during testing on deck. 8) Check that the system is earthed in the following manner: a) 70 mm2 earth cable from the earth bus bar on the winch and to the deck or structure. Cable terminal connection to the earth bus bar on the winch and to the structure shall be used. It is recommended to use existing hook-up arrangements to the structure or possibly drill an appropriate bolthole in a support or similar, where this is allowable. b) 16 mm2 earth cable between the earth terminal on the winch and the slipring unit (cable shoe connections). c) 70 mm2 earth connection between the power supplys earth bus bar and grease head/flow tube. With distances exceeding 50 m, the cross-section shall be increased. Two 70mm2 cables can, for example, run in parallel. The power supplys earth bus bar can either be in or on the control container or on the winch, depending on the composition of the system (see figure F.1 and figure F.2). For coiled tubing, earthing is considered to be ensured by the slipring and winch substructure connection to the main earth bus bar and the platforms structure. An earth cable is therefore not necessary up to the point where the tubing enters the well. 9) Check that the power supply to the well equipment is disconnected and shortcircuited while running in and pulling out of the well. 10) The equipment shall be connected to a power outlet with defined ESD function. Checklist when using mono cable The responsible electrician on the installation should ensure that the guidelines and measures described above are followed. Suggested checklist: Item 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Description Check that the equipment is entered into the installations temporary equipment journal Check work permit Check that the person who is to carry out the electrical hook-up is qualified to work on low-voltage electrical systems Check that the surge protection is set at the correct value Check that the overload protection is set correctly Check that the short-circuit protection is set in accordance with the circuits maximum resistance Check that the well equipment is adequately earthed during testing on deck Check that the system is earthed in accordance with the description and Figure F.1 and Figure F.2 Check that the power supply to the well equipment is disconnected and shorted while running in and pulling out of the well Check that the equipment is connected to a power outlet with defined ESD function Result
