6 Pt.0 Ch.1 Sec.1. General Page 6 CHTER 1 INTRODUCTION Section 1. General The Classification Rules for design and construction of self-elevating units can be found in the applicable requirements of DNV Offshore standards and MODU Rules. Recognizing that these standards are generic in nature, both in the topics covered and in the actual requirement description, there is an opportunity to construct an abstract of these with a focus on self-elevating unit relevant requirements. Section 2. Objective The objective of this publication is to give a complete but concise overview of the relevant technical standards and DNV s involvement for building and classing a conventional self-elevating unit. In this objective, the book is to be used in conjunction with DNV Offshore Service Specification OSS-101 and the relevant technical standards as referred to therein. Section 3. Scope This publication describes the technical and procedural requirements for classification of self-elevating units of a conventional design as covered by main class. Both the description of a conventional design and the scope of main class is further detailed in Part 1. This publication covers the involvement of class for a unit s different phases during life time, i.e. design, construction, commissioning, delivery and operation. The publication does not cover the requirements for separate additional class notations, nor the requirements for units of an unconventional design. These are detailed in DNV s Offshore Service Specification OSS-101. Section 4. Structure To maintain a clear overview, these rules consist of references to the relevant Offshore Standards, Service Specifications and other DNV Service Documents. The degree of reference detail is depending on the nature of the subject. To improve readability and understanding, the references are completed with a direct description of requirements. In special, a description has been included on topics of a higher complexity or risk. The first part of these Rules describes the principles of Classification and its procedures in chapter 1 and 2. The third chapter of this part continues thereafter with the overall technical principles as applicable for the design of a self-elevating unit build under DNV Classification. The technical requirements together with relevant calculations methods are discussed in detail in Parts 2 to 4. The three parts cover the main technical areas of class, subsequently Materials and Welding, Hull and Equipment and Machinery and Systems. Part 5 to 7 thereafter give a concise overview for specific phases of class involvement, that is respectively in the Component and System Certification process, the new building mechanical completion and commissioning and conclusively survey and test requirements in the operational phase after delivery. For a clear separation between the content of this publication and other DNV Rules, Standards or other service documents, references to parts, chapters and sections refer this publication if not explicitly stated otherwise.

Any documents submitted for re-approval or re-examination shall be especially marked to identify the revised parts. Symbols used shall be explained, or reference to a standard code shall be given. Each drawing shall include a title field stating: name of vessel (when known) name of document issuing company name and signature of originator and verifier document no. document title revision no. issue date scale set of measurement units used in the document, e.g. System International. The document title should not include the name of the vessel. The document title should include the function or component covered by the document. Unique revision numbers shall be allocated to all issues of a document, including the first issue. For documents with multiple sheets, the revision number should be the same for all sheets. 1.2 Subcontractors Where subcontractors and suppliers are involved, the customer shall co-ordinate the submission of required plans and documents, as well as co-ordinate any approval comments given by the Society. This does not apply for materials, components and systems requiring certification as is discussed in more detail in Part Plans and data to be submitted General list of plans and data to be submitted are included in the applicable technical chapters of Parts 2 to 4. A detailed and project specific list shall be supplied by the DNV responsible directly after the class agreement has been signed. Project specific implies that only those documentation is required as is relevant for the design and within the scope of the contractual agreement between yard and DNV. Section 2. Certification The scope of classification requires that specified materials, components and systems intended for the vessel are certified according to the rules. The objective of certification shall ensure that materials, components and systems used in vessels to be classed by the Society comply with the rule requirements. Certification normally includes both plan approval and survey during production and/or of the final product. A detailed description of the certification process and the specific requirements and lists of the specified materials, components and systems is given in Part 5. Section 3. Testing and Surveys During the building period DNV carries out surveys at the building yard and its suppliers. The purpose of these is to verify that the construction, components and equipment satisfy the rule requirements and are in accordance with the approved plans, that required materials are used, and that functional tests are carried out as prescribed by the rules. A complete description of these test and surveys is given in Part 6.

22 Pt.1 Ch.3 Sec.1. General Page 22 CHTER 3 PRINCIPLES AND CONDITIONS Section 1. General The table below lists references required for a complete understanding of this chapter. Table 1-1 Overview of references Reference Title DNV-OS-D101 Marine and Machinery Systems and Equipment DNV-OS-D201 Electrical Installations DNV-OS-D202 Automation, Safety, and Telecommunication Systems Section 2. Principles 2.1 Classification scope These rules with the referred standards give requirements in the following areas: 1) Hull and main structure strength materials and welding corrosion protection passive fire protection weathertight and watertight integrity stability and floatability. 2) Marine and machinery installations and equipment Machinery installations and equipment, including their related auxiliary systems, to the following main functions: jacking gear fire extinguishing drainage and bilge pumping ballasting emergency shutdown systems. 3) Systems and equipment provided to prevent, detect/ warn of an accidental event and/or prevent or mitigate its effects 4) Secure integrity of shelter areas and usability of escape ways and means of evacuation 2.2 Safety and important systems To further frame the content of the rules, the above listed areas and systems are split into safety (or essential) and important systems. Safety systems are systems needed to be continuous available or available on demand to prevent, to detect, to control or to mitigate the effects of an undesirable event, and to safeguard the personnel, environment and the installation. Examples of safety systems covered by main class: fire pumps emergency shut down (ESD) system fire and gas detection and alarm system systems required to be supplied from batteries or emergency generator, e.g. public address, emergency lighting electric generators and associated power sources supplying the above equipment. control, monitoring and safety devices or systems for safety systems. Important services ensure reliable operation and maintain the units operation within operational limitations. Examples of equipment or systems for important services covered by main class: fuel oil transfer pumps and fuel oil treatment equipment seawater pumps (note) starting air and control air compressors bilge- and ballast/preload pumps ventilating fans for engine rooms ventilating fans for gas dangerous spaces

23 Pt.1 Ch.3 Sec.3. Environmental Conditions Page 23 main lighting system watertight closing appliances jacking system bilge alarm system electric generators and associated power sources supplying the above equipment. control, monitoring and safety devices or systems for the above equipment Seawater pumps (if used as part of a fire water supply system). 2.3 Redundancy Safety systems are always to be available. To secure that safety systems always are available, the general principle is that components and systems shall be arranged with redundancy so that a single failure of any active component or system does not cause loss of any main function. Availability is as such, further indirect defined in the requirement to a system i.e where this general principle may be waived and/ or where duplication of components is required. Redundancy can either be arranged by installing more than one unit (component redundancy) or by having two or more systems capable of performing the same functions (system redundancy). For redundancy on a component level a single failure of an active component shall not lead to a reduction of the output power for the main function served. When two or more components are performing the same function, these shall be mutually independent and at least one shall be independently driven. Components arranged as part of the designed redundancy, yet only performing important functions to a main unit, can be directly powered by the main unit through separate power transmissions, on the condition that these components are not necessary for the starting of the main unit. When traditional mechanical components are replaced by electronic components, these components shall have the same reliability as the mechanical component being replaced. Machinery or equipment having remote or automatic control, shall have additional alternative provisions for attendance and operation. 2.4 Failure effects In the event of failure, components and systems shall enter the least hazardous of the possible failure states with regard to machinery, personnel and environment. Failure of one component in a system arranged as part of the designed redundancy shall not lead to failure or damage to backup or parallel components or systems. For failure detection see Pt.4, Ch.4, Sec.2.1. Section 3. Environmental Conditions All components and systems covered by this standard shall be designed to operate under the following environmental conditions unless otherwise specified in the detailed requirements for the component or system. 3.1 Design temperature The unit s design temperature is a minimum temperature used as a criterion for the selection of steel grades. The design temperature shall be specified by the customer and is to be taken as the lower or equal to the lowest mean daily temperature in air for the relevant areas. For seasonal restricted operations the lowest mean daily temperature in air for the season may be applied. Guidance note: It is underlined that design temperatures below 0 degrees are only relevant for waters in the higher latitudes (e.g. northern part of North Sea, Canadian waters etc). For these waters and their harsh conditions, relevant considerations should be taken (e.g. OS-C201, Sec.2 B304 on water trapped in local structures, OS-D101, Ch.2 Sec.3 F108 on freezing of vents, OS-D301 in protecting the fire equipment against freezing etc) In addition, class notations related to cold climate operations as listed in OSS-101, Ch.1 Sec.3, B 700 can be relevant as well. ---e-n-d---of---g-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e--- The design temperature shall be listed in the appendix to Class Certificate (see also Pt.6, Ch.5, Sec.3). Guidance note: In the different offshore standards is in addition to a design temperature a service temperature defined. For selfelevating units, the two temperatures are equal. ---e-n-d---of---g-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e Temperature for machinery systems and equipment Machinery systems and equipment shall be constructed for continuous operation in the range of ambient
