IEC TC 18 Electrical installations of ships and of mobile and fixed offshore units

Scope of IEC TC 18:

To prepare standards for electrical installations and equipment of ships and of mobile and fixed offshore units, incorporating good practice and aligning as far as possible existing regulations and IEC Publications. The standards will chiefly concern:
a) b) factors promoting the safety of ships and of mobile and fixed offshore units; factors promoting safety of life.

IEC TC 18 has 20 participating countries and 10 observer countries

IEC TC 18 Electrical installations of ships and of mobile and fixed offshore units

TC 18 has one subcommittee, SC 18A, with the scope:

To prepare international standards for cable construction and performance promoting the safety of ships and of mobile and fixed offshore units

SC 18A has 20 participating countries and 11 observer countries

IEC TC 18 Electrical installations of ships and of mobile and fixed offshore units

TC 18 is mainly a system committee.

Existing standards are to some extent giving constructional requirements to products. When revising existing standards and preparing new ones, reference is to the extent possible made to product standards prepared by other committees, in accordance with the System Approach philosophy.

IEC TC 18 Electrical installations of ships and of mobile and fixed offshore units

The following standards relating to offshore installations are issued by IEC TC 18 under the general title Mobile and fixed offshore units Electrical installations:

IEC 61892-1 General requirements and conditions IEC 61892-2 System design IEC 61892-3 Equipment IEC 61892-4 Cables IEC 61892-5 Mobile units IEC 61892-6 Installation IEC 61892-7 Hazardous areas

The standards are referring to other relevant IEC and ISO standards

IEC TC 18 Electrical installations of ships and of mobile and fixed offshore units

IEC TC 18 has liaison with IEC TC 31 and ISO TC 67

IEC TC 31 is responsible for the general standards for area classification and explosion protected equipment. TC 18 is making reference to several of these standards in the TC 18 standards ISO TC 67 is responsible for materials, equipment and offshore structures for petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries ISO TC 67 is referring to IEC standards from both TC 18 and TC 31 in the TC 67 standards IEC TC 18 is referring to several ISO standards in the TC 18 publications

IEC TC 18 has liaison with IMO

The IEC 61892 standards are referenced in the IMO 2009 MODU CODE
According to OGP report No. 426 Regulators use of standards, the IEC 61892 standards are referenced by 3 regulators (Denmark, Norway and United Kingdom)

The IEC 61892 standards are recognized and widely used by oil companies and major drilling contractors

Some ISO TC 67 standards of special interest to IEC TC 18:

ISO 13702 Control and mitigation of fires and explosions on offshore production installations ISO 13628-5 Subsea umbilicals ISO 10418 Basic surface process safety systems ISO 19901-7 Stationkeeping systems for floating offshore structures and mobile offshore units ISO/CD15551 Electric submersible pumps

IEC TC 18 Electrical installations of ships and of mobile and fixed offshore units

Split of responsibility between IEC and ISO:

IEC is responsible for electrical and electronic engineering ISO is responsible for other fields

Cooperation between IEC and CENELEC is covered by the Dresden agreement Future CENELEC TC 18

Due to the initiative taken by the EU commission to prepare European Standards for equipment used in the oil and gas industry Norway, who holds the Reporting Secretariat of CENELEC TC 18 has proposed to establish a CENELEC TC 18, with the same scope as for IEC TC 18, but with an addition for Subsea Equipment.

Initiative from the European Commission

According to 2010 2013 Action Plan for European Standardisation, dated 8 July 2011 the following standardisation mandates are planned:

Mandate(s) to CEN and CENELEC for the development of harmonised standards supporting the relevant EU product safety legislation (Machinery, Pressure Equipment and ATEX Directives) for equipment used in the offshore oil and gas industry

Proposed CENELEC TC 18 Structure and Scope

The CENELEC TC 18 structure will be based on the work structure of IEC TC 18, and will be expanded to include systems and equipment in the Oil & Gas offshore industries not part of the present IEC TC18 standards

This includes not only the integrity of non-topsides installed subsea equipment part of offshore drilling and production units, but also the interaction of topsides facilities and subsea equipment.

CENELEC TC 18 scope as per IEC TC 18 (ships and mobile and fixed offshore units) CENELEC TC 18A - code used by IEC SC 18A (work assumed to be adopted by parallel voting on IEC SC 18A standards) CENELEC TC 18C New, draft title:Subsea equipment

10

CENELEC SC 18C Subsea equipment

Subsea systems, including all seabed installed and downhole power and control, interacting with topside and shore based facilities power and control systems.

Addressing subsea electrical loads, such as:

Motors for pumps and compressors, Direct Electric Heating for pipeline flow assurance,

Subsea controls - with elements instruments, sensors, controllers, modem communication all linked to the topside units power system and control gear, part of crew operations.

The applicable choice of transmission medium for power and signals (galvanic/fibre/radio/acoustic/pulsed) will be site specific and according to functional requirements; design will be subsequent to existing ISO/IEC technical standards and engineering practises.

Emergency power - some new ideas

Traditionally emergency power has been generated locally by separate generator(s)

Generator will shut down automatically upon gas in the air intake

Emergency power provided by functionality of an alternative power source, which by design is not exposed to gas as autonomous combustion driven generators on board would be

Cable from shore or from another installation Relevant equipment (transformer and switchgear) can be located in room without access from the outside, i.e. reduced risk of gas ingress into the room.
