This International Standard specifies requirements and provides guidance for design, testing, installation and
commissioning of heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and pressurization systems and equipment on all
offshore production installations for the petroleum and natural gas industries that are
⎯ new or existing,
⎯ normally occupied by personnel or not normally occupied by personnel,
⎯ fixed or floating but registered as an offshore production installation.
For installations that can be subject to “Class” or “IMO/MODU Codes & Resolutions”, the user is referred to
HVAC requirements under these rules and resolutions. When these requirements are less stringent than
those being considered for a fixed installation, then it is necessary that this International Standard, i.e.
requirements for fixed installations, be utilized.
