This NORSOK standard includes material requirement in a collection of Material Data Sheets (MDS) for use in piping systems, selected according to NORSOK L-001, Piping and Valves.
The provision of the NORSOK standards are intended to comply with the requirements of the EC "Pressure Equipment Directive" and the Norwegian implementation regulation "Forskrift for trykkpåkjent utstyr" issued 9 June 1999. When this NORSOK standard refers to PED only, it is implicit that it also refers to the Norwegian implementation regulation. In those applications where PED is governing, it is therefore necessary to apply the PED and to involve a notified body to obtain the required approvals dependent of the selected conformity assessment module applicable to each specific project.
An objective has been to facilitate and standardise the implementation of PED requirement for the Norwegian petroleum industry. The correct implementation of these requirements or any other requirement is left with the user of the MDSes.
This revision replace NORSOK standard M-630 rev 3. Revision 4 of this NORSOK standard is an update to include changes deemed necessary due to:
- Introduction of PED
- Changes made in the reference standards
- Experiences gained with the previous revision of the standard
- Deletion of the MDS P01, this due to the issue of ISO 14692
