System categorizations included in the appendix are generalin nature and may not include all applicable systems that are specific to particular newbuilding projects andso, this document should be used only as a guide. This document currently includes requirements related todrilling units with the intention to include requirements related to other object types at a later stage.
2 GeneralDNV has recognized that the technical complexity of modern Offshore Installations is increasing due tosystems becoming more complex, more automated and more tightly integrated. This evolution providesdesigners, shipyards, owners and other involved parties challenges in the management of testing andcommissioning equipment and systems onboard offshore units successfully.
3 ObjectiveThis CG outlines recommended work processes for the testing and commissioning activities on offshorenewbuild units. This document shall be read as a guide to testing and commissioning equipment and systemsonboard offshore Units. The document will help users in preparing or carrying out witnessing of testing andcommissioning activities to satisfy the requirements of classification and applicable statutory regulationswhere DNV has delegation from such authorities.It should be noted that final acceptance of commissioning is the owner's responsibility. This CG only coversclass and statutory related activities.
4 Scope and applicationThis guide is applicable to testing and commissioning activities onboard classed mobile offshore units e.g.,drilling, accommodation and FPSOs.
5 Structure of this documentThis document contains:
— A general overview of testing and commissioning activities together with samples of typical contents oftesting and commissioning procedures including the ones for integration testing and commissioning.

SECTION 2 COMMISSIONING PROCESS AND DEFINITION OFVARIOUS STAGES
1 Introduction
Commissioning of an offshore unit is a time consuming and complex process. A structured approach isa necessity for a successful commissioning phase of the newbuilding projects. While the requirementsfor the testing and commissioning are clearly specified in various applicable DNV standards, how exactlythe commissioning activities should be carried out is largely left to the Builder/Owners of the mobileoffshore units. For instance, there will be dependencies between the different packages. It is, however,a DNV requirement to see that the testing requirements mentioned in our rules are carried out duringcommissioning. It is often required by DNV offshore standards that the equipment is to be tested in “asinstalled” condition. So, though similar tests have already been carried out during a factory acceptance test(FAT), a new test in installed condition would be required. A typical example could be the offshore cranes.They will probably be overload tested during FAT, but they will still be necessary to overload test in installedcondition.Before commissioning starts the responsible DNV surveyor and all stakeholders involved in preparing andcarrying out the testing and commissioning should also have an idea as to what activities are consideredmost important to DNV and also what activities are not within the DNV scope. During commissioning it is alsoimportant to be aware that the owner’s and the yard’s viewpoint as to what is DNV’s scope of work may notbe in harmony with the scope required by the DNV Offshore standards. It is also important to recognize thatowner/yard may have additional requirements e.g., related to performance or additional functionality, thatmay be over and above the classification requirements of DNV.
2 Detailed designWhen entering into the final stages of any project, the detailed design is expected to be fully completed,reviewed and approved. Failure to complete the design in a satisfactory manner may undermine alreadycompleted testing and commissioning, especially comments that may result in redesigning component orsystems. Any duplication in redoing testing and commissioning is not very efficient and will result in loss of

DNV AS
valuable time and additional cost. The preferred solution would be to have the design engineers availableduring the commissioning stages. The design engineer can then confirm completion of the design activitiesand advise what needs to be rectified, redesigned and followed up.
3 Mechanical completionFor most offshore projects mechanical completion (MC) is considered a natural and a logical step on theway towards proper project completion. It is normal for the builder or system vendor to create mechanicalcompletion check lists for the actual equipment or system. Only some parts of mechanical completion iscovered in the DNV Offshore standards and is thus formally DNV scope of work. DNV generally maintainoversight of most of the mechanical completion activities of the project through unscheduled surveys. Whereit is mandated by the quality survey plan (QSP), a DNV surveyor may attend certain mechanical completionactivities. Some of the examples of such activities are:
— pressure testing of piping— installation of main engines/alignment— cable installation / segregation of cables.
In this instruction, MC is completed when construction and installation of equipment, piping, instrumentation,cabling, electrical equipment, etc. have been demonstrated as physically complete. Dynamic tests are limitedto non-energised tests like cold alignment of shafting for motors, engines and generators. Further meggertests, flushing and drying of piping systems, cleaning, etc. is included in this milestone. Typically, the MCwill result in a number of outstanding activities that must be rectified before any actual pre-commissioning,testing and commissioning can commence. Normal findings typically include missing electrical equipmentgrounding, lack of proper shielding of fuel pipes or hot surfaces, insufficient nozzle coverage for delugesystems, etc. The evidence of the required certification of equipment should be verified during mechanicalcompletion stage so that there are no surprises before commencing pre-commissioning, testing andcommissioning stages. Failure to do so may jeopardize the safety of such activities.

SECTION 3 PRE-COMMISSIONING
1 IntroductionPre-commissioning is the stage before commissioning which involves the verification of functional operabilityof the equipment part or full systems. This stage of testing requires energising of equipment and introductionof fluids in fluid piping systems. This is the stage where the vendor and/or the yard are carrying outindependent testing of the equipment/system. This is a “trial and error” phase where class normally do notattend. During review and approval of commissioning procedures, it is important for the DNV surveyor tomake sure that tests required by the rules are carried out during the commissioning phase. It may be achallenge when the tests required by the rules are carried out during pre-commissioning but not attendedby a DNV surveyor. This should be highlighted during the review of the commissioning procedures. Pre-commissioning would typically include:
— Loop testing.— Motor no load runs.— Equipment final alignments.
2 CommissioningThe phase after mechanical completion, pre commissioning and testing is often referred to as thecommissioning phase. The “commissioning of an offshore unit” is a very wide term and for the purpose ofclassification, it refers to final checks, inspection and tests that every operational component or system goesthrough to confirm operational readiness. Typically equipment/system commissioning will consist of:
— Functional testing of systems by start-up priority.— Testing of ESD/PSD and F&G.— Load tests and other equipment performance testing.
In the commissioning phase it will be verified that the installed equipment and system are working asintended and that the rule requirements for the various equipment/system functionality are met. The ruleswill have requirements for “performance”, e.g. number of starts for starting air receivers and “functionality”,e.g. safety functions of boilers and incinerators.For effective commissioning, it is important that the testing and commissioning of the different skids/packages are given the right priority so that they happen in the right sequence/order. Very littlecommissioning can be performed without the hydraulic ring line, power system, cooling water, pneumaticsystems and other utilities being functional and working properly. Typically, temporary arrangements shouldnot be accepted for commissioning. It should also be a general principle that commissioned equipment is notdismantled or modified after testing and commissioning of the equipment/system is completed. Once theequipment/system is tested and commissioning is completed it is good practice to have a close out meetingwhere the commissioning procedures are signed, by owner and outstanding punch items are agreed.
3 Integration testingIntegration testing is a collective term for testing and commissioning of more than one system (a collectionof systems, sub-systems and equipment packages) to ensure compliance with project requirements.Many systems onboard are integrated with other systems in one way or another. However, in this context,integration testing is meant to cover the following but not limited to:
— Complete functional testing of systems across equipment boundaries.— Final adjustments of alarm-limits, measuring instruments.— End to end testing of ESD/PSD and F&G.— Integrated testing of PROD/DRILL plants.

Many of the system integration tests are often carried out during the marine sea trial as all the relevantsystems and consumers may be required to be ready for such tests to be carried out. The trials can also beorganised e.g. with one drilling trial and one marine sea trial.
4 Marine sea trialThe marine sea trials typically focuses on propulsion, steering and utility systems functioning under normaloperating conditions. A prerequisite for sea trials is that the major safety systems like fire fighting, life-savingappliances, PA/GA, HVAC, etc. are satisfactorily commissioned ahead of sea trials. In addition, the incliningtest should be completed prior to taking the unit out on sea trial.Sea trials are conducted to test a vessels performance and general seaworthiness. Testing of a vesselsspeed, manoeuvrability, equipment and safety features are usually conducted during sea trial. However, thisdemonstration of speed and manoeuvrability, etc. is normally more important for a merchant vessel thanan offshore unit. A merchant vessel will typically have a contract speed as part of the contract between thebuilder and the owner. That is seldom the case for an offshore unit. The marine sea trial will typically consistof but not limited to:
— testing of Dynamic Positioning System— final commissioning of Ballast systems, Cooling water, Lube oil, Fuel Oil, HVAC, Thrusters, etc.— speed test— crash stop— turning test— E0 test (Unmanned machinery space alarms)— endurance test.
The marine sea trial is normally not relevant for fixed units or units without propulsion.
5 DeliveryDepending on type of unit, the successful completion of all testing and commissioning activities will triggerthe delivery of the unit. The level of completion will however vary from project to project. Typically a projectwith a contract in place and a long transit to the operation area, the owner may prefer an early delivery withthe intention to close some of the outstanding items in transit. If a unit does not have a project in place, theowner will typically aim for a higher level of completion before they will accept the unit. Equipment subjectto class approval that is not readily commissioned in accordance with approved testing and commissioningprocedures should be identified in the delivery documentation by issuance of relevant conditions of class.It should be evaluated prior to delivery whether the outstanding class and statutory systems are minorin nature and does not affect the safety and integrity of the unit that will allow the Class Society to issueappropriate Class and Statutory Certificates. If critical systems e.g., fire fighting/detection, propulsion andsteering, life-saving appliances, navigational aids, etc. are not commissioned, Class and Statutory Certificatesare not typically issued.
6 Hook upHook up is mostly relevant for fixed units like FPSOs and other units that will stay on the same locationfor a number of years, however some drilling units may require some testing of systems on first location.Typically it means the hook up of risers to the unit and preparations required prior to first oil. Many of thevital commissioning activities for such units will have to take place at location and cannot be completedduring the construction of the unit. Hook up is not typically included in the class scope but if safety andintegrity of the vessel is in question, Class Society typically evaluates the status of such operation.

7 OperationOnce the unit is in operation, there should not be any major outstanding class and statutory items carriedover from the newbuilding phase and procedures related to “units in operation” requirements should befollowed.

SECTION 5 DNV INVOLVEMENT IN COMMISSIONING
1 DNV’s involvement in testing and commissioning is limited to the requirements of statutory and class rules.DNV surveyor will attend testing and commissioning to the extent specified in applicable quality surveyprogram (QSP).Survey scope shall be categorized as follows:
— Survey Category 1 - Statutory and Essential Systems for Safety (normally increased attendance by DNV).— Survey Category 2 - Main Systems / Functionally Important (For Main and Additional Class Notations,extent is based on the yard’s experience and the effectiveness of Yard’s QA/QC system).
— Survey Category 3 – Normally limited or no attendance required by surveyor.
The tables attached in the following appendices detail the “survey categorization during MechanicalCompletion and Commissioning of Marine and Drilling Systems” (based on Project System / Sub SystemList).

SECTION 6 SAFETY, HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT
1 It is important to note that commissioning activities may introduce additional hazards to the process thatmay not have been considered in the design phase i.e. the use of alternative media for testing in the absenceof hydrocarbons. When evaluating extent of checks and tests the philosophy of Primum non nocere or first dono harm should be considered.It should also be noted that the commissioning activities themselves may also introduce additional risksand hazards into the workplace. Prior to start of any commissioning the relevant safe job analysis should beperformed where relevant dangers are highlighted and sufficient efforts are taken to minimize the risks.It is important to ensure responsibilities are clearly defined and recognised; that there are suitable andsufficient instructions e.g. procedures, method statements, workpacks; whether control and supervision ofstaff and contractors is adequate; whether arrangements for calibration of any test equipment associatedwith commissioning is adequate; there is adequate control of temporary commissioning aids e.g. E&Ihardwired links, isolations, spades in process lines.

DNV-OS-C401Ch.2 Sec.4 [2.1]
— Testing of Tightness— Confirm that all tanks are tested for tightness. The test may be performed as a hydraulic test using water.
Alternatively, tightness may be confirmed by use of compressed air and an efficient indicating liquid.Void spaces not part of the structural integrity in the accidental limit state (ALS) can normally be omittedfrom this tightness test. A void space defined as a confined space is typically not intended to carry liquidcargo, ballast or fuel. Gas tightness of e.g. boundaries between cofferdams/pump room and adjacent non-hazardous area, may be subject to appropriate methods accepted by the purchaser.
— Tightness test by compressed air and an effective indicating liquid shall be carried out before protectivecoating has been applied. A thin layer (< 50 m) of primer with documented chemical composition maybe applied prior to testing. Tightness may also be confirmed by the following methods: vacuum testing ofindividual welds, injection of air into root gap of fillet welds (fillet air test). Tightness testing of continuousautomatic and multipass semiautomatic weld processes in butt welds of plated boundaries may be omitted.
— If compressed air and an efficient indicating liquid are used, the air pressure shall not exceed 0.2 bar andshall be reduced to a smaller value, but not less than 0.15 bar before inspection. The method shall giveclear indications of small leaks. Care should be taken so that the pressure in the tank does not exceed 0.2bar above atmospheric pressure because of unexpected raise in ambient temperature, falling atmosphericpressure or otherwise. The pressure shall be measured by an accurate method, such as a U-shaped tubewith water. Means should be provided to release pressure in emergency case.
— If water is applied, the pressure shall not be less than 25 kN/m2 at the top of the tank. The outside of thetank shall be dry and clean.
— For hose testing, the hose pressure shall be at least 200 kN/m2 and applied at a maximum distance of 1.5m. The nozzle inside diameter shall be at least 12.0 mm.
Tanks
DNV-OS-C401Ch.2 Sec.4 [3.1]
— Structural Tests— Confirm that at least one of several identical tanks undergo a structural test. By agreement, the test shall
be carried out by applying water. In agreement with the purchaser, the structural test may be omitted for aseries of sister vessels. Protective coating may be applied before a structural test is carried out.
— Bulkheads between tanks arranged to carry different liquids shall be hydraulically tested from at least oneside.
— The test pressure height shall be taken as the design pressure height for load case a) as defined in therelevant offshore object standard. The pressure shall be maintained for at least 20 minutes. The filling rateshall be restricted to avoid excessive dynamic design pressure.
— The structural test is considered successful if no significant deformations or other damages have developedduring the test.
— Confirm that closing appliances for access openings in decks, bulkheads (etc.) which shall be watertight,are separately tested before installation. Structural testing of other parts outside tanks may be required.
— If structural tests reveal weaknesses in the structure, further testing is required.

Any reference in this document to "DetNorske Veritas AS", "Det Norske Veritas", "DNV", "GL", "Germanischer Lloyd SE", "GL Group" or any otherlegal entity name or trading name presently owned by the DNV GL Group shall therefore also be considered areference to "DNV GL AS".
Main changes July 2015
• GeneralThe revision of this document is part of the DNV GL merger, updating the previous DNV recommendedpractice into a DNV GL format including updated nomenclature and document reference numbering, e.g.:
— DNV replaced by DNV GL.— DNV-RP-A205 to DNVGL-CG-0170 etc.
A complete listing with updated reference numbers can be found on DNV GL's homepage on internet.To complete your understanding, observe that the entire DNV GL update process will be implementedsequentially. Hence, for some of the references, still the legacy DNV documents apply and are explicitlyindicated as such, e.g.: Rules for Ships has become DNV Rules for Ships.
