1.1 Objective
This document gives the requirements for surface preparation, selection of coating materials, application
and inspection of protective coatings. The requirements are applicable during the construction, installation
and maintenance of offshore and onshore installations including associated equipment and facilities.
The purpose of this document is to ensure the uniform and controlled selection, use and removal of
surface protective coating systems. It covers paints, metallic coatings and spray-on passive fire protective
coatings.
1.3 Provision
This document is provided for in TR3100 Materials technology, technical requirement and standards.
2 Requirements
2.1 Introduction
The requirements for surface preparation and protective coating shall be in accordance with NORSOK M-
501 and the additional requirements stated in this document.
In this document, the additional requirements are related to the referred clauses in NORSOK M-501.
All external surfaces of any equipment shall be coated in accordance with the requirements in this
document. An external surface is a surface that will be exposed to the external environment after the unit
has been assembled. All individual parts of the equipment should be coated before assembling.

Appendix A and appendix B provides specific requirements and options for coating or valves, gearboxes
and actuators supplied in compliance with TR2000, TR2212, TR3014 or TR0038.
Recommended RAL grades for different colours are given in NORSOK M-501 appendix B. Where specific
colours are specified by the project or where requirements for colour coding are governing, these
requirements shall apply. For other areas, default colour for topsides structures and equipment is RAL
9002 (grey white), default colour for submerged structures is RAL 1004 (yellow) and default colour for
subsea equipment, RAL 9002.
For areas and tanks requiring particular curing and/or cleaning operations after application, e.g. potable
water tanks, these activities and relevant test results shall also be fully documented.
TR0926 “Working Environment” shall apply when selecting paint products and other chemicals for surface
protection. Selection and documentation of hazardous chemicals shall also follow requirements in
NORSOK S-002 clause 5.4 “Chemical substances and products”.
Products containing hormone mimics, Lead, Cadmium, Chromate, Mercury or tarry substances shall not
be used.
Polyuretanes and other isocyanate-based products shall not be used. Other products that release di-
isocyanates when heated shall not be used for structures, modules and equipment skids, and not for any
maintenance work.
The table below provides an overall coating product selection matrix related to HSE.

Yellow: Use is subject to Company accept and may be permitted if the products provide
the overall lowest HSE impact in relation to the coating system’s useful life, and the
necessary protective measures for personnel involved are implemented.
Green: Products may be used without specific restrictions.
Blue: Not relevant technology.
All coating shall be removed from surfaces prior to hot work in order to avoid hazardous thermal
decomposition of the paint. Hot work is defined as methods generating a temperature of >150oC, e.g.
welding, cutting and grinding. The coating shall be removed with a “cold” method, and form an area of 15
cm on either side of the hot area. This is also applicable for the rear side of heated surfaces. Methods for
removing coating shall be tested and certified for heat generation.
Abrasives shall not contain carcinogenic substances, Lead or Lead compounds, biological available Nickel
or more than 1 weight% quarts or crystalline silica.
Handling of degreased and blast cleaned surfaces shall be done with clean gloves and with lifting
equipment that does not pollute the surfaces.

2.8 Addendum to NORSOK M-501, clause 9.2 “Materials” (for sprayed on passive fire
protection)
Use of fiber mesh on larger sections than the defined and quantified limits listed in clause 9.2, is not
allowed.
2.10 Addendum to NORSOK M-501, clause 10.2 “Qualification of companies and personnel”
The responsible coating inspector shall be a part of the quality assurance system and independent rom
the production department, and shall also be independent from the supplier/manufacturer of the coating
products.
Coating thicknesses above maximum dry film thickness specified by the coating manufacturer shall be re-
blasted and recoated. This requirement is valid for each layer and the total thickness.
Equipment frames, foundations and equipment structures located in outdoor marine environments shall be
coated in compliance with coating system no. 2A, 2B or hot dip galvanised in compliance with NORSOK
M-501 clause 4.11.
Where aluminium punched hole deck plates or hot dip galvanized grating are resting on painted surfaces,
the painted landing area shall be protected from damage with non-metallic pads glued to the landing
surface.

For the splash zone on jackets and floating platforms, the following shall apply:
Glass flake polyester applied in at least two coats to a coating thickness 1000 µm DFT. Glass flake
epoxy applied in at least two coats to a coating thickness 600 µm DFT. The coating system shall pre-
qualified in accordance with M-501 clause 10.1 as both system no 1 and system no 7, and relevant
successful field experience shall be documented.
For the splash zone on ship shaped floating structures, one of the following two alternatives shall apply:
The same as for jackets and floating platforms as described above.
As specified in M-501.
For the areas between the splash zone and underside of deck, one of the following alternatives shall
apply:
Coating system no 2A (only if grey colour and coarse surface finish is accepted).
Coating system no 2B.
Glass flake polyester applied in at least two coats to a coating thickness 1000 µm DFT or glass flake
epoxy applied in at least two coats to a coating thickness 600 µm DFT. Systems shall be pre-
qualified in accordance with M-501 clause 10.1.
On Troll A and Kollsnes, coating system no 2A or 2B shall in addition be used in marine atmosphere on all
carbon steel equipment, carbon steel pipes with diameter >3” and carbon steel valve manifolds.
For approved deviations, where application of thermally sprayed Zinc or Aluminium is determined not to be
a feasible method for maintenance, the following shall apply;

Coating system no 4 may be used on other deck areas as alternative to the 4 coat system 1 with
aggregates.
Based on an overall evaluation of cost and fulfilment of functional requirements, application of coating
system no 4 on complete deck areas should be considered as a replacement for the 4 coat non-skid
coating system no 1. In such cases a thinner layer with non-skid aggregates may be applied such that the
overall thickness is minimum 1500 µm, but the primer coat(s) shall be in compliance with a full coating
system no 4. The reduced coating system shall be pre-qualified according to the same requirements as a
full coating system no 4.
Corrosion protection of insulated instrument tubing and small-bore piping with nominal diameter 2 inch:
Blast cleaning of small bore piping and tubing is normally not practically feasible. Materials grades like
stainless steel type 316 and 22Cr duplex which shall be painted under insulation should, therefore be
avoided for outdoor marine environments.
