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 2.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. 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.

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.

ISO 13628-6 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.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 13628-6:2000) which has been technically

revised.

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: Unbonded flexible pipe systems for subsea and marine applications

Introduction

Description of hardware is included in this part of ISO 13628 to illustrate functional requirements. This part of

ISO 13628 should not be interpreted in a way which would limit new solutions with documented improved life-

cycle benefits.

This part of ISO 13628 establishes design standards for systems, subsystems, components and operating

fluids in order to provide for the safe and functional control of subsea production equipment.

This part of ISO 13628 contains various types of information related to subsea production control systems.

They are

 informative data that provide an overview of the architecture and general functionality of control systems

for the purpose of introduction and information,
 basic prescriptive data that apply to by all types of control system,

 selective prescriptive data that are control-system-type sensitive and apply only where relevant,

 optional data or requirements that need be adopted only when considered necessary either by the

purchaser or the vendor.

In view of the diverse nature of the data provided, control system purchasers and specifiers are advised to

select from this part of ISO 13628 only the provisions needed for the application at hand. Failure to adopt a

selective approach to the provisions contained herein can lead to the subsea control system being over

specified and higher purchase costs.
