NORSOK M-501:2022
Foreword
NORSOK M-501:2022 was adopted as NORSOK Standard 2022-09-30. English version was published
2022-11-02.
NORSOK is an acronym for the competitive position of the Norwegian continental shelf and comprise
petroleum industry standards in Norway. The collaboration initiative in 1993 between the authorities and
the petroleum industry initiated the development of NORSOK standards.
Reducing the project execution time and developing and operating cost for petroleum installations on the
Norwegian shelf was the target.
The intention for the Petroleum industry is to develop and use standards providing good technical and
cost-effective solutions to ensure that the petroleum resources are exploited and managed in the best
possible way by the industry and the authorities. The industry will actively contribute to the development
and use of international standards in the global market.
— bridge the gap based on experiences from the Norwegian continental shelf where the international
standards are unsatisfactory;
— promote the Norwegian sector as an attractive area for investments and activities.
Developing new NORSOK standards and regular maintenance of existing standards shall contribute to
maintain the competitiveness both nationally and internationally for the Norwegian petroleum industry.
The NORSOK standards are developed by experts from the European petroleum industry with experience
from the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) and approved according to the consensus principles as laid
down by the guidelines given in NORSOK A-001 N directive.
The NORSOK standards are owned by Offshore Norge, The Federation of Norwegian Industries and the
Norwegian Shipowners' Association. They are managed and published by Standards Norway.

varying operating conditions and described in separate coating system data sheets;
— cryogenic service;
— powder coatings;
— the requirements related to the coating procedure tests are outlined in more detail and an informative
annex is included to visualise a typical test panel;
— the passive fire protection section (PFP) has been extensively updated;
— normative annexes are included to describe additional requirements related to the PFP pre-
qualifications;
— an informative annex is included to describe the qualification requirements for coating operators;
The bibliography lists standards, norms, laws, regulations and other literature that may be relevant to the
use of this document.
Normative text contains the requirements of the standard. Informative text is only guidance to the reader.
