DNV Offshore Codes
DNV rules incorporate knowledge and experience acquired over time and provide a consistent set of standards designed to ensure fail safe design and redundancy to prevent a failure from becoming a critical accident. The rules and supporting documents are subject to regular updating to reflect operational experience and advances in technology.
