DNV re-launches standard for offshore service modules

DNV has completely re-written the standard for Offshore Service Modules certification, commonly referred to as DNV 2.7-2, which was first published in 1995. It is now available for download.
DNV in Aberdeen has reviewed the standard and collected the views of the global network of DNV personnel as well as operators, manufacturers and contractors.
DNV 2.7-2 is a single document which brings together the key safety requirements of multiple existing standards to enable users to effectively apply it to transportable and temporary equipment.
Though widely recognized as a safety standard for pressurized modules for temporary workspaces, it has now been extended to cover all types of temporary equipment, from diesel engines and compressors to well test production equipment. The overall aim of the revision is to provide a standard to which modules may be certified making them compliant with offshore installation global regulations.
