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 13628-8 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 67, Materials, equipment and offshore structures
for petroleum, petrochemical 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 —

ISO 13628-8:2002(E)
Introduction
1) [1]
This part of ISO 13628 is a revision, major amendment and expansion of Annex C of API 17D .
The recommended practices for the selection and use of ROV interfaces have generally selected one
interface for a specific application. The inclusion of a particular approach or recommendation does not imply
that it is the only approach or the only interface to be used for that application.
In determining the suitability of standardization of ROV intervention interfaces for installation, maintenance or
inspection tasks on subsea equipment, it is necessary to adopt a general philosophy regarding subsea
intervention. This intervention philosophy is more fully described within this part of ISO 13628, as are the
associated evaluation criteria used in selecting the interfaces incorporated into these recommendations.
This part of ISO 13628 is not intended to obviate the need for sound engineering judgement as to when and
where its provisions are to be utilized, and users need to be aware that additional or differing details may be
required to meet a particular service or local legislation.
With this part of ISO 13628, it is not wished to deter the development of new technology. The intention is to
facilitate and complement the decision processes, and the responsible engineer is encouraged to review
standard interfaces and re-use intervention tooling in the interests of minimizing life-cycle costs and increasing
the use of proven interfaces.
This part of ISO 13628 does not cover intervention by remote operated tools (ROTs), which are dedicated
tools deployed on drill pipe or guidelines. Instead, it focuses upon defining the requirements of ROV interfaces
with subsea production systems, with further reference to ROT interfaces only being made where deemed
appropriate. The interfaces on the subsea production system can apply equally to ROTs and ROVs.

4 Intervention philosophy and functional requirements
4.1 General
When designing interfaces for use on subsea production systems an intervention philosophy needs to be
established. The intervention philosophy should address the activities to be carried out, the method of
intervention for each task, the type of tool, the method of stabilization of the ROV by docking or positioning for
the effective performance of its intervention tasks, and access requirements. The intervention philosophy
should take into account the various intervention tasks, rationalizing them so that a consistent method is
adopted, as a number of tasks may be performed consecutively.

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------

ISO 13628-8:2002(E)
Once the tasks to be carried out have been identified the ROV intervention method should be established.
Figures 1 to 34 show a variety of ROV systems and interfaces.
4.2 Intervention by ROV
ROVs are free-swimming submersible craft that can be used to perform tasks such as valve operations,
hydraulic functions, and other general tasks. ROVs can also carry tooling packages in order to undertake
specific tasks such as tie-in and connection functions for flowlines, umbilicals and rigid pipeline spools, and
component replacement. ROVs are essentially configured for carrying out intervention tasks in five ways:
 with manipulators for direct operation of the interface;
 with a manipulator-held tool;
 with TDUs;
 dual down line method (with ROTs);
 with tool skids or frames.
Interface tooling, so far as possible, should be designed to operate with a range of ROVs and not be limited in
application to one design only, thus allowing the use of ROVs and intervention vessels of opportunity. Figure 1
shows typical ROVs.

4.3 ROV intervention task configurations
4.3.1 ROV intervention with manipulators
A manipulator is a mechanical arm complete with joints allowing degrees of freedom (see Figure 1). The arm
or arms are connected to the ROV vehicle frame. The more joints that the arm has, the more degrees of
freedom and consequently the more versatile the arm.
At the end of the arm there is a gripper, usually consisting of two or three fingers that allow handles, objects
and structural members to be grasped for the purpose of carrying out an activity or to stabilize the ROV.
Where a ROV is engaged in performing tasks, it can have two manipulator arms, one used for stabilising the
ROV itself and the second for carrying out the function or task.
Manipulator systems operated by ROV vary considerably in their functionality and controllability. For tasks to
be performed on a subsea production system using ROV manipulators or manipulator-held tooling, the
following number of issues require special consideration:
 location of the interface such that it is within the manipulator capability in terms of reach, i.e. the working
envelope (see Annex C for details of typical manipulator envelopes);
 pliancy between the tool body and the handle by which the manipulator holds the tool, to provide dexterity
during insertion or pull-out of the tool, such that the manipulator’s wrist angle does not have to move
precisely in tandem with the insertion or pull movement of the rest of the arm (see Figure 19 for an
example of design pliancy in the wire rope extension between a hot stab body and the manipulator
handle);

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------

ISO 13628-8:2002(E)
 weight of any removable components such that they are within the manipulator capability in terms of the
arm's lift and handling capacity;
 precision, accuracy and repeatability in determining the difficulty of the task;
 sufficient access and space to allow tools to be inserted into the interface and allowable clearance away
from adjacent operations such as hot stabs, etc.;
 ability of the subsea equipment and component to resist the loads and torque reactions applied by the
manipulator, tool and/or ROV;
 protection for equipment against impact from the ROV.
Consideration of environmental conditions, which may affect successful intervention and the completion of
specific tasks identified above, will lead to the selection of one of the following stabilization methods:
 a flat horizontal platform area for the ROV to park, thrusting against the platform, adjacent to the
interface, allowing vertical or horizontal access;
 a horizontal or vertical bar, to allow the ROV grabber (limited degree of freedom manipulator arm) to take
hold (see Figure 6);
 ROV docking/receiver points (see Figures 7, 15, 16, 18 and 22);
 relatively flat, smooth surfaces for attaching suction cups.
Docking and interface points should be a minimum of 1,5 m (4,92 ft) above the clear local seabed level for
unhindered operations.
ROV platforms should be avoided where they need to be removed, opened or closed in order that other
intervention tasks can be performed.
The designer should take into account the various intervention tasks and rationalize these to adopt a
consistent means of ROV docking on the subsea facility, as the ROV could be required to perform a number
of tasks during the same dive.
In certain geographic locations, care needs to be taken in establishing the seabed level owing to soft mud and
the effect of ROV thruster wash on the seabed.
See Figure 8 for specific details related to local tool loads.
4.3.2 ROV intervention with a tool deployment unit (TDU)
4.3.2.1 General
A TDU is a specifically designed work package that is attached to the front or rear of the ROV frame to
accurately orient and position the tool by use of a Cartesian carriage arrangement (see Figure 3). The number
of degrees of freedom are one, two or three axis, depe
