ISO 17776:2016 describes processes for managing major accident (MA) hazards during the design of offshore oil and gas production installations. It provides requirements and guidance on the development of strategies both to prevent the occurrence of MAs and to limit the possible consequences. It also contains some requirements and guidance on managing MA hazards in operation.ISO 17776:2016 is applicable to the design of- fixed offshore structures, and- floating systems for production, storage and offloadingfor the petroleum and natural gas industries.The scope includes all credible MA hazards with the potential to have a material effect on people, the environment and assets.This document is intended for the larger projects undertaken to develop new offshore installations. However, the principles are also applicable to small or simple projects or design changes to existing facilities and can also be relevant to onshore production facilities.Mobile offshore units as defined in this document are excluded, although many of the principles can be used as guidance. The design of subsea facilities are also excluded, though the effects of mobile and subsea facilities are considered if they can lead to major accidents that affect an offshore installation. This document does not cover the construction, commissioning, abandonment or security risks associated with offshore installations.The decision to apply the requirements and guidance of this document, in full or in part, is intended to be based on an assessment of the likelihood and possible consequences of MA hazards.

La présente Norme internationale décrit quelques-uns des principaux outils et techniques qui sont d'un usage commun pour l'identification et l'évaluation des dangers associés aux activités d'exploration et de production en mer du pétrole et de gaz, comprenant les campagnes topographiques et sismiques, les opérations de forage et sur puits, le développement des champs, l'exploitation, le démantèlement et la mise au rebut des installations ainsi que le support logistique nécessaire à la réalisation de ces activités. Elle fournit des indications sur la manière dont on peut utiliser ces outils et techniques comme une aide au développement de stratégies, à la fois pour la prévention des événements dangereux et pour le contrôle et l'atténuation de tout événement qui peut survenir. La présente Norme internationale s'applique - aux structures fixes en mer ; - aux systèmes flottants de production, de stockage et de chargement - dans les industries du pétrole et du gaz naturel. La présente Norme internationale ne s'applique pas à la conception et à la construction des unités navales mobiles qui tombent sous la juridiction de l'Organisation Maritime Internationale. La présente Norme internationale n'a pas vocation à être utilisée comme élément des critères de certification et il convient de ne pas conclure à une faille dans le système de gestion des risques si aucun des outils et techniques couverts par la présente Norme internationale n'est appliqué à une installation.
