Abstract / scope
ISO 13628:2002 gives functional requirements and guidelines for ROV interfaces on subsea production systems for the petroleum and natural gas industries. It is applicable to both the selection and use of ROV interfaces on subsea production equipment, and provides guidance on design as well as the operational requirements for maximising the potential of standard equipment and design principles. The auditable information for subsea systems it offers will allow interfacing and actuation by ROV-operated systems, while the issues it identifies are those that have to be considered when designing interfaces on subsea production systems. The framework and detailed specifications set out will enable the user to select the correct interface for a specific application.
