Scope and application

This standard is in principle applicable to all types of wind turbine installation units including, but not limited to, the following variants:

- self elevating units

- column stabilised units.

All marine operations shall, as far as practicable, be based upon well-proven principles, techniques, systems and equipment and shall be undertaken by qualified, competent personnel possessing relevant experience.

For novel designs, or unproven applications of designs where limited or no direct experience exists, the designer shall clarify with DNV the type of and extent of technical documentation including relevant analyses and model testing, which should be performed to demonstrate that an acceptable level of safety is obtained.

Structural design covering marine operation sequences is not covered in this standard and shall be undertaken in accordance with the requirements stated in DNV-OS-H101 "Marine Operations, General" and DNV-OS-H102 "Marine Operations, Design and Fabrication".
