Petroleum and natural gas industries - General requirements for offshore structures
This document specifies general requirements and recommendations for the design and assessment of bottom-founded (fixed) and buoyant (floating) offshore structures.This document is applicable for all phases of the life of the structure, including:? successive stages of construction (i.e. fabrication, transportation, and installation),? service in-place, both during design life and during any life extensions, and? decommissioning, and removal.This document contains general requirements and recommendations for both the design of new build structures and for the structural integrity management and assessment of existing structures.This document does not apply to subsea and riser systems or pipeline systems.

ISO 19900:2013 specifies general principles for the design and assessment of offshore structures subjected to known or foreseeable types of actions. These general principles are applicable worldwide to all types of offshore structures, including, bottom-founded structures as well as floating structures, and to all types of materials used including steel, concrete and aluminium. ISO 19900:2013 specifies design principles that are applicable to: the successive stages in the construction of the structure (i.e. fabrication, transportation and installation); use during its intended life; and its decommissioning. The principles are also generally applicable to the assessment or modification of existing structures. Aspects related to quality control are also addressed. ISO 19900:2013 is applicable to the design of complete structures, including substructures, topsides structures, vessel hulls, foundations and mooring systems.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!

At a glance, you will be able to identify the additions, deletions or modifications to a text, table, figure and formula.
