Scope and objective

As the UK regulations are now fully "goal setting" and aim for continuing safety improvement, the regulations cannot be fully transferred into standardised technical requirements. However, it is possible to identify major points to be considered, and to provide services toward fulfilment. The objective of this document is to provide a general statement of the services DNV can provide for UK compliance, with reference to how these services can be used with classification. This includes:

a) Consultancy Services:

Safety engineering during design and construction, risk analysis and assessment, PFEER assessment, identification of safety-critical elements and performance standards, ALARP methodology, safety case preparation.

b) Verification Services:

Actions as appointed independent and competent person (ICP) for identification and review of list of safety-critical elements and performance standards, drafting or review of written schemes, implementation of verification activities, maintenance and revision of written schemes. It is permitted in the Regulations that the ICP is involved in the drafting on the Performance Standards.

Detailed information on these services can be obtained based on discussions for specific installations and/or client needs.
