This manual section does not apply to:
• small bulk consumer facilities, customers’ LPG installations and LPG cylinders;
• ships and other maritime vessels for which design and engineering requirements are covered by a STASCO
(Shell International Trading and Shipping Company Limited) accepted “Classification Society”;
• aircraft and aviation activities related to refuelling aircraft; and
• Abandonment Activities.

Requirements
The Asset Manager, Project Manager or Wells Manager is Accountable for requirements 1 to 4 below.
1. Apply the mandatory Process Safety Design and Engineering requirements in the Shell Design And
Engineering Practices (DEPs) listed in Table 1 whenever designing or constructing New Assets or making
permanent or temporary Modifications to existing Assets.
1.1. For projects with a Project Headline Size less than $100 million (100% project cost) that do not involve
Unusual Risk, and for which the DEPs are not practicable, apply other recognised industry standards or
Company legacy standards. In case of such Derogation from DEM1, the Delegated Technical Authority
must approve the use of alternative standards, based on a documented risk assessment that
demonstrates that Process Safety risks are managed to ALARP. If alternative standards are non-existing,
use a documented Risk assessment methodology. Include the documented Risk assessment with the
Derogation request for approval by the Delegated Technical Authority.
1.2. Process Safety requirements in DEM1 DEPs, which refer to requirements in other Group documents, are
only mandatory if the referenced Group document is mandatory. When Process Safety requirements in
DEM1 DEPs refer to requirements contained in external industry codes and standards those requirements
are also treated as mandatory.
1.3. Through the use of the DEM1 Derogation Register and Reporting System, send a request for Derogation
to the Delegated Technical Authority, if and when a variance to mandatory DEP requirements is
observed or anticipated, including those invoked by 1.1.
1.4. Ensure all Derogations from mandatory DEP requirements for the Assets or projects are captured in the
DEM1 Derogation Register and Reporting System, for continuous improvement and for Risk awareness.
1.5. All project Derogations must identify the Asset it is applicable to.
1.6. Derogation from the application of Design and Engineering Manual 1 (DEM 1) in its entirety for Assets
owned or operated by a Joint Venture in which Shell does not have a controlling interest, and where the
Joint Venture partners have adopted this Manual, requires approval by those Joint Venture partners.
2. Apply the Version of the DEM1 DEPs that is valid at the time of end of Select (Decision Gate 3) for design of a
new Asset or modification to an existing Asset (capital project and/or Management of Change). Refer to
section Implementation Deadlines on this manual.
3. Approve at the end of Select (Decision Gate 3) how and where to apply Design and Engineering Manual 1
(DEM 1) to existing Assets affected by the project.
4. Confirm that the mandatory Process Safety requirements in the DEM1 DEPs are met for the construction of
new Assets and the modification of existing Assets.
4.1 Ensure all Derogations for the Asset are entered in the DEM1 Derogation Register and Reporting System.
The Executive VP Projects & Engineering Services is Accountable for requirements 5 to 8 below:
5. Appoint the Delegated Technical Authorities in Projects & Technology.
6. Set, or approve, competence criteria for other Delegated Technical Authorities, who are nominated in and
approved by a Business.
7. Appoint Custodians of the DEPs.

130
8. Resolve conflicts that relate to the application of Design and Engineering Manual 1 (DEM 1) and/or conflicts
that relate to the approval of Derogations.
The Business Leader is Accountable for requirement 9 below:
9. Appoint the Delegated Technical Authorities in Upstream International, Upstream Americas or Downstream.
The Delegated Technical Authority is Accountable for requirement 10 below:
10. Approve or reject any request for Derogation from the individual Process Safety requirements in the DEM1
DEPs.
10.1. Evaluate a request for Derogation based on:
• Its justification;
• Its documented Risk assessment that demonstrates that Process Safety Risks are managed to ALARP;
• Its endorsement by a Qualified Technical Professional.
10.2. Approve or reject the request for Derogation, and in the case of rejection provide a justification for the
rejection.
10.2.1. The Delegated Technical Authority cannot be the same person that raises the Derogation.
10.2.2. The Delegated Technical Authority cannot be the same person that endorses the Derogation
as a Qualified Technical Professional.
10.2.3. The Delegated Technical Authority must assess the request independently from the Asset or
Project from which the Derogation request is made.
10.2.4. The Delegated Technical Authority must approve or reject the risk assessment showing the
Process Safety Risk is mitigated to ALARP.
10.2.5. The Delegated Technical Authority must approve or reject the alternative standards that are
used in lieu of the DEPs.
10.2.6. The Delegated Technical Authority must approve or reject the Derogation within the DEM1
Derogation Register and Reporting System.
10.3. Address in the request for Derogation either a Deviation or a Non-Conformance.
10.3.1. Document Deviations before the design or construction work commences, including temporary
use of an alternative standards system.
10.3.2. Document Non-Conformances after completion of the design or construction work if it is
discovered that a requirement has not been met and record alternative means of meeting the
intent of that requirement.
10.4. Report all approved and rejected Derogations to the DEP Custodian and the Technical Standards Team
within one month.

The DEP Custodian is Accountable for requirement 11 below:

11. Review Derogations from the mandatory Process Safety requirements in the DEM1 DEPs for learning and,
where appropriate, update the DEPs.

131
Table 1 DEPs with Mandatory Process Safety Requirements
The table lists all DEPs that contain mandatory Process Safety requirements, and these are indicated with “SHALL
[PS]”.
DEPs shaded orange are those which have remained from the previous revision of Design and Engineering Manual
1 (DEM 1). Many mandatory requirements within these DEPs have been revised.
DEPs shaded green are those which have been added by this revision.
DEPs are available at http://sww.shell.com/standards/

Implementation Deadlines
Projects before DG3 on July 1, 2015 are expected to use Version 11 DEM1 DEPs.
Projects beyond DG3 on July 1, 2015 may chose to do gap assessments of their existing design and engineering
standards against the Version 11 DEM1 DEPs.
Application of the DEM1 DEPs remains part of the Process Safety audit scope.
• All DEM1 (Version 11) DEPs will be in scope for audit from July 1, 2015 onwards.
• For newly added DEM1 DEPs, audit will be done against Work in Progress criteria (e.g. resourced plan, well
underway) until December 31, 2015.
Businesses may choose to do gap assessments of their existing design and engineering standards against the new
DEM1 manual.

Background
While process safety incidents are rare, their potential to cause injury and even death, as well as damage to the
environment, our business and our reputation is well known. Avoiding a major process safety-related incident within
our asset base is a priority and requires a Group-wide approach.
The HSSE & SP Standards are part of the HSSE & SP Control Framework and are applicable across all businesses
for ventures under operational control. The HSSE & SP Control Framework gives line management practical tools to
help with risk identification, drives the implementation of associated controls and provides the means to assess the
effectiveness of these controls.

Design and Engineering Manuals and Practices

The HSSE & SP Standards (effective October 1, 2008) include the requirement to establish a single set of
mandatory Shell Design and Engineering Manuals (DEMs) for use in the design and modification of new and
existing assets. The EVP Engineering Services in Shell Projects & Technology is accountable for establishing and
maintaining the DEMs.
This Version 11 will become mandatory effective July 1, 2015. This Version 11 will apply to DEPs v39.

DEM1
DEM1 is a supporting document for the HSSE & SP Standards. It includes a list of DEPs that specify the mandatory
Process Safety requirements needed to manage RAM RED, 5A or 5B process safety risks for design and construction.
In order to complete the verification of the process safety requirements, there has been a phased transition for DEPs
to become listed in this Design and Engineering Manual, DEM1.
Phase 1: Initial selection of 74 DEPs that have a direct relationship to process safety – mandatory as of January 1,
2009.
Phase 2: Review all DEPs and issue of 126 DEM1 DEPs on March 1, 2011.
Phase 3: Review remaining regional and local standards such as EGGs, ESTGs, SEPCo Engineering Standards,
and EP Well specific design manuals, etc. during rationalization with the DEPs.
Completed as of February15, 2013.
This manual will subsequently be reviewed and updated if required, on an annual basis.
