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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
International Standard ISO 13628-4 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 67, Materials, equipment and
offshore structures for petroleum and natural gas industries, Subcommittee SC 4, Drilling and production
equipment.
ISO 13628 consists of the following parts, under the general title Petroleum and natural gas industries — Design
and operation of subsea production systems:
 Part 1: General requirements and recommendations
 Part 2: Flexible pipe systems for subsea and marine applications
 Part 3: Through Flowline (TFL) systems
 Part 4: Subsea wellhead and tree equipment
 Part 5: Subsea control umbilicals
 Part 6: Subsea production control systems
 Part 7: Workover/completion riser systems
 Part 8: Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV) interfaces on subsea production systems
 Part 9: Remotely Operated Tools (ROT) intervention systems
Annexes E, G and H form a normative part of this part of ISO 13628. Annexes A, B, C, D, F and I are for information

Introduction
This part of ISO 13628 is not intended to obviate the need for sound engineering judgement as to when and where
this part of ISO 13628 should be utilized, and the users of this part of ISO 13628 should be aware that additional or
differing requirements may be needed to meet the needs for the particular service intended or to meet local
legislation.
The objective of this part of ISO 13628 is to define clear and unambiguous requirements which will facilitate
international standardization in order to enable safe and economic development of offshore oil and gas fields by the
use of subsea wellhead and christmas tree equipment. This part of ISO 13628 is written in a manner which will
allow the use of a wide variety of technology varying from the well established to the state of the art. This part of
ISO 13628 does not wish to restrict or deter the development of new technology. However, the reader is
encouraged to closely look at standard interfaces and the re-use of intervention systems and tools, in the interests
of minimizing life cycle costs and increasing reliability by the use of proven interfaces.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) draws attention to the fact that it is claimed that compliance
with this part of ISO 13628 may involve the use of one or more patents concerning certain of the horizontal tree
designs given in subclause 6.1.2, annex B and Figures 4, B.1, B.2 and B.3.
The ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity and scope of this patent right.
The holder of this patent right has assured the ISO that he is willing to negotiate licences under reasonable and
non-discriminatory terms and conditions with the applicants throughout the world. In this respect, the statement of
the holder of this patent right is registered with the ISO.
Information may be obtained from: Peter A. Bielinski, Esq.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 13628 may be the subject of patent
rights other than those identified above. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights.
This part of ISO 13628 is based on API Specification 17D First edition, October 30, 1992, Specification for Subsea
Wellhead and Christmas Tree Equipment including Supplement 1 (March 1, 1993).
