DET NORSKE VERITAS

FOREWORD
DET NORSKE VERITAS (DNV) is an autonomous and independent foundation with the objectives of safeguarding life, prop-
erty and the environment, at sea and onshore. DNV undertakes classification, certification, and other verification and consultancy
services relating to quality of ships, offshore units and installations, and onshore industries worldwide, and carries out research
in relation to these functions.
DNV Offshore Codes consist of a three level hierarchy of documents:
— Offshore Service Specifications. Provide principles and procedures of DNV classification, certification, verification and con-
sultancy services.
— Offshore Standards. Provide technical provisions and acceptance criteria for general use by the offshore industry as well as
the technical basis for DNV offshore services.
— Recommended Practices. Provide proven technology and sound engineering practice as well as guidance for the higher level
Offshore Service Specifications and Offshore Standards.
DNV Offshore Codes are offered within the following areas:
A) Qualification, Quality and Safety Methodology
B) Materials Technology
C) Structures
D) Systems
E) Special Facilities
F) Pipelines and Risers
G) Asset Operation

Amendments October 2001

This Code has been amended, but not reprinted in October 2001. The changes are incorporated in the Web, CD and printable
(pdf) versions. The amendments are shown in red colour in the Web and CD versions.
All changes affecting DNV Offshore Codes that have not been reprinted, are published separately in the current Amendments
and Corrections, issued as a printable (pdf) file.

1. General
1.1 Purpose, assumptions and application
1.1.1 Purpose
The purpose of the documentation requirements is to provide a
basis to verify that selected, safety critical parts of the require-
ments of the DNV Offshore Standards are complied with in the
design of the unit. A satisfactory document review is a prereq-
uisite for assignment of DNV class. The document review
shall, in connection with assignment of DNV class, be comple-
mented by surveys and review of the client’s quality system.
1.1.2 Assumptions
The documentation requirements are laid down under the fol-
lowing assumptions:
— The client’s capabilities and competence conforms with
the project’s objectives
— The client operates according to acceptable quality man-
agement principles (e.g. ISO 9000)
— A thorough description of the project’s conceptual design,
through philosophy documents etc., are submitted early in
the project
If DNV does not consider the above assumptions to be ful-
filled, additional documentation will be required to be submit-
ted. Review of such documentation will be considered as extra
work.
1.1.3 Industrial practice
The organisation and content of the documentation require-
ments is based on DNV’s understanding of common industrial
practice. Alternative approaches will be considered, provided
that the information submitted covers the information request-
ed through the documentation requirements.
1.1.4 Application
The documentation requirements apply to a specific type of
unit only if the intersecting field between the documentation
requirement row and the type of unit column is filled in with
an applicable class notation abbreviation.
The documentation requirements apply only to systems, func-
tions, structural regions and equipment that shall be installed
on the unit.
Where the class notation Non-selfpropelled (NSP) is listed and
applicable, the documentation requirement does not apply.
1.1.5 Conversions
Documentation requirements applicable for conversions shall
be determined case by case.
1.1.6 Document coverage
A document may cover more than one system, function, struc-
tural region or equipment. A document may cover more than
one documentation type.
1.2 Organisation of the documentation requirements
1.2.1 Standard documentation types
The documentation requirements are based on standard docu-
mentation types. The standard documentation types are organ-
ised according to engineering disciplines.
Definitions of the applicable standard documentation types are
given in RP-A201.
1.2.2 Identification
The numbering of the systems, functions, structural regions
and equipment corresponds to the DNV Classification Infor-
mation Breakdown Structure (CIBS).
DET NORSKE VERITAS
Recommended Practice DNV-RP-A202, January 2001
Page 5
The standard documentation type number together with the
systems, functions, structural regions or equipment (CIBS)
number can be used as a identifier for the document require-
ment.
1.2.3 Yard or manufacturer
Each documentation requirement is marked with Y or M,
which signifies:
Y: The corresponding documents shall be submitted by the
yard, and reviewed by DNV as a part of the class contract
M: The corresponding documents shall be submitted by the
manufacturer, and reviewed by DNV as a part of the Cer-
tification of Materials and Components (CMC) activities.
1.2.4 For information
Some documentation requirements are marked with FI which
signifies that the corresponding documents shall be submitted
for information only.
1.2.5 Type approved systems and equipment
Some documentation requirements are marked with TA, which
signifies that the corresponding documents shall not be sub-
mitted for type approved systems and equipment.
1.2.6 Local handling
Some documentation requirements are marked with L, which
signifies that the corresponding documents normally shall be
reviewed at the local DNV office only.
1.2.7 On request
Some documentation requirements are marked with R, which
signifies that the corresponding documents shall be submitted
on request only.
1.3 Handling of documentation
1.3.1 Submittance
Documentation required by this document shall be submitted
to DNV in duplicate.
The documentation shall be submitted in a logical sequence,
and in packages enabling complete review of a system, func-
tion, structural region or equipment.
1.3.2 DNV review
DNV shall review one initial issue of a document and one re-
vision due to incorporation of DNV comments. Additional re-
visions and revisions reflecting other design changes will be
considered as extra work. Review of requested documents
(marked with R) will be considered as extra work.
DNV shall revert with a statement relating to the regulatory ba-
sis for the document review and with possible comments.
DNV shall not stamp nor return drawings, unless DNV’s com-
ments are given in the form of mark-ups on the drawings, as
relevant for e.g. structural drawings. Stamping and return of
documentation will be considered as extra work.
1.4 Type approved products
1.4.1 Reference to certificate
For type approved systems and equipment, written reference
shall be made to the type approval certificate number, the man-
ufacturer’s name and product type identification. Copies of the
type approval certificates shall not be submitted unless re-
quired by 1.4.3.
1.4.2 Documentation covered by the type approval
For type approved systems and equipment, the documents cor-
responding to documentation requirements marked with ‘TA’
Recommended Practice DNV-RP-A202, January 2001
