ISO 15551-1:2015 provides requirements for the design, design verification and validation, manufacturing and data control, performance ratings, functional evaluations, handling, and storage of tubing-deployed electrical submersible pump (ESP) systems as defined herein. This part of ISO 15551 is applicable to those components meeting the definition of centrifugal pumps including gas handling devices, discharge heads, seal chamber sections, intake systems, mechanical gas separators, induction motors (herein motor), shaft couplings, motor lead extension, pothead, and power cables, as defined herein. Components supplied under the requirements of this part of ISO 15551 exclude previously used subcomponents. Additionally, this International Standard provides requirements for assembled ESP systems. ISO 15551-1:2015 includes normative annexes addressing design validation performance rating requirements by component, requirements for determining ratings as an assembled system, functional evaluation: single component and cable reference information. ISO 15551-1:2015 includes informative annexes addressing functional evaluation guidelines for assembled ESP systems, establishing recommended operating range (ROR) of the ESP system, example user/purchaser ESP functional specification form, considerations for the use of 3-phase low and medium voltage adjustable speed drives for ESP applications, analysis after ESP use, downhole monitoring of ESP assembly operation, and information on permanent magnet motors for ESP applications. Equipment not covered by this part of ISO 15551 includes wireline and coiled tubing-deployed ESP systems, motor and pump shrouds, electric penetrators and feed-through systems, cable clamps and banding, centralizers, intake screens, passive gas separators, by-pass tools, check and bleeder valves, component adaptors, capillary lines, electric surface equipment, downhole permanent magnet motors, and non-conventionally configured ESP systems such as inverted systems. Repair and redress equipment requirements are not covered in this part of ISO 15551. The terminologies used within this part of ISO 15551 are; "ESP assembly" for a system of products combined into an operational machine, "component" for individual products such as, pumps or seal chamber sections, and "subcomponent" for individual parts or subassemblies that are used in the construction of an individual component.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any
patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on
the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

Introduction
This part of ISO 15551 has been developed by users/purchasers and suppliers/manufacturers of electric
submersible pumps and is intended for use in the petroleum and natural gas industry worldwide. This
part of ISO 15551 provides requirements and information to both parties in the selection, manufacturing,
testing, and use of electric submersible pumps as defined in the scope. Further, this part of ISO 15551
addresses supplier requirements, which set the minimum parameters for claiming conformity with this
International Standard.This part of ISO 15551 provides grades of requirements for design validation, quality control, and
functional evaluations allowing the user/purchaser to select each for a specific application. There are
two grades of design validation, three grades of quality control, and up to three grades of functional
testing, depending on the component. Design validation grade V2 is restricted to legacy products,
and the highest grade is V1. Quality control grade 3 is the standard grade and grades 2 and 1 provide
additional requirements. Of the three functional evaluation grades, the lowest grade is the standard
grade and higher grades provide additional requirements. The user/purchaser can specify requirements
supplemental to these grades.Users of this International Standard are informed that requirements above those outlined in this
International Standard can be needed for individual applications. This International Standard is not
intended to inhibit a supplier/manufacturer from offering, or the user/purchaser from accepting,
alternative equipment or engineering solutions. This can be particularly applicable where there is
innovative or developing technology.© ISO 2015 – All rights reserved vii
