BS EN ISO 15544:2010

1   Scope This International Standard describes objectives, functional requirements and guidelines for emergency response ( ER ) measures on installations used for the development of offshore hydrocarbon resources. It is applicable to fixed offshore structures or floating production, storage and off-take systems.

    NOTE  For  mobile offshore units , the  ER  plans developed in conformance with the requirements and recommendations of the International
     Maritime Organization (IMO) are generally adequate for the normal, independent operation
     of the unit in most locations. The following aspects of  ER  planning are generally not addressed by IMO and should be specially considered: 


   
      
         

— area evacuation , e.g. precautionary evacuation in areas of tropical revolving storms;

— combined operations wherein an integrated command and ER system should be developed;

— arctic operations;

— uncontrolled flow from a well.
