3.3.5.8 Surface Cables

Cable shall be heat and oil resistant, flame retardant (HOFR) type suitable for
service in environmental conditions described for the platform. All (normal and
emergency) cables have flame retardant characteristics to IEC 60332-3
category A.
Cables for safety systems like critical lighting system, navigational aids, F&G
system and Communication system etc., shall be fire resistant type to the
requirement of IEC 60331.

Cable joints via cast resin kit or other type are not permitted on the offshore
installations.

Special care shall be taken to the routing and separation of cables to minimize
