Introduction
NORSOK is the industry initiative to add value,
reduce cost and lead time and eliminate
unnecessary activities in the offshore field
developments and operations.
NORSOK standards are developed by the

Norwegian petroleum industry and are administered
and issued by NTS (Norwegian Technology
Centre).
NORSOK standards make extensive references to

international standards.

NORSOK Seminar
During the last years, serious accidents, causing failure of the shell
plate, have originated from damages in the ballast tanks.
The lifetime of vessels & offshore structure is to a large extent
determined by the corrosion conditions, especially of immersion
area
Hence it is important to fulfil the requirement of coating standard
during new-building
Slide 13
NORSOK Seminar
Scope
This NORSOK standard gives the requirements for the selection of coating materials,
surface preparation, application procedures and inspection for protective coatings to
be applied during the construction and installation of offshore installations and
associated facilities.
This NORSOK standard cover both paints, metallic coatings and application of spray-
on passive fire protective coatings.
The aim of this NORSOK standard is to obtain a coating system, which ensures
• optimal protection of the installation with a minimum need for maintenance;
• that the coating system is maintenance friendly;
• that the coating system is application friendly;
• that health, safety and environmental impacts are evaluated and documented.
Note: This NORSOK standard is not applicable to pipelines and pipeline risers.

5. Piping embedded in concrete shall be corrosion coated at least 300 mm into concrete.
6. Application using an additional number of coats with lower film thicknesses is
acceptable provided all other requirements in this NORSOK standard are fulfilled.
7. For the splash zone area, the coating system shall also fulfill the pre-qualification
requirements for coating system no. 1.
8. Specialized coating systems with at least two coats, may be selected for particularly
exposed areas on installations provided the coating system is pre-qualified in
accordance with 10.1, the coating thickness is ≥ 1000 μm NDFT and provided relevant
successful field experience is documented.

1. This coating system shall only be used if the areas are only exposed to fully dry indoor
conditions during fabrication, intermediate storage, installation and operation. The
coating system shall not be used on surfaces where water condensation may occur.
2. Reduced requirements (maximum 50 mg/m2) to salt on surface prior to coating is
acceptable.
3. Surface preparation to minimum St 2 may be used for touch-up.
4. Topcoat may be applied if specific colours are specified.
5. Equipment to be installed in non-corrosive areas as defined in the first note above, for
example electrical rooms, control rooms, living quarters, etc., may normally be coated
with suppliers standard coating system and colour. All such coating systems shall be
subject to written acceptance from the purchaser.
