Sharing knowledge and expertise is an important aspect of DNV's work. One way to do so is by publishing codes, standards and best practices.

Class rules and supporting documents give criteria for design, construction and maintenance of offshore assets.

DNV Offshore Codes

DNV offshore rules incorporate knowledge and experience acquired over time and provide a consistent set of standards designed to ensure fail safe design and redundancy to prevent a failure from becoming a critical accident. The rules and supporting documents are subject to regular updating to reflect operational experience and advances in technology.

Documents for offshore class, the DNV Offshore Codes, consist of a 3-level hierarchy of documents:

  • Offshore Service Specifications provide principles and procedures of DNV classification, certification, verification and consultancy 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.

Regelgeving voor Marine Operations

De 'Rules for Planning and Execution of Marine Operations' worden wereldwijd door zowel de marine als de offshore sector erkend en worden regelmatig genoemd als de basisreferentie voor marine operations. De regels beschrijven technische en procedurele vereisten die gerelateerd zijn aan degelijke planning en uitvoering van marine operations. [English]

Standards speed up innovation

DNV’s core philosophy is that technology development and knowledge sharing increase innovation and safety. So when the industry is facing challenges, the best way of solving these is for industry players to join forces through Joint Industry Projects (JIPs). Together we in this way develop the world’s best practices and standards.
