NORSOK Z-006 is revised and on public enquiry
The NORSOK standard on preservation of equipment and materials for the petroleum industry is out for public enquiry until 17 December. We invite the industry to provide their comments and feedback.
NORSOK Z-006 was last published in 2015, and the new draft prNORSOK Z-006:2024 is available in Standard Norway's enquiry system.
NORSOK Z-006 describes principles and methods to ensure that equipment and systems are preserved and maintained, to retain new and delivered condition during all phases of preservation, until start-up for commissioning and first-time operation.
A computerized system tool (PCS) for the administration of preservation activities and requirements is only addressed to the extent that it confirms that system function and reporting requirements are incorporated into the relevant contracts.
PCS is outside the scope of this standard.
Preservation is not the same as packing. Any packing is separate and outside the preservation process.
Requirements for packing, storage, and lifting and handling are not addressed in this standard.
The main changes in this edition
The main changes in this edition are an updated format, reorganization of the document reflecting the workflow for preservation, monitoring and execution. Each discipline has its own requirements based on extensive experience from the oil and gas industry.
In addition, checklists and records have been revised and, where applicable, combined for easier use.
