Covers: corrosion zones; protection against corrosion; corrosion
and erosion protection of plan and equipment; corrosion under
lagging, insulation and passive protection; surveys (corrosion
protection); manuals (corrosion protection). Is based on guidance
previously contained in section 12 of the Fourth Edition of the
Health and Safety Executive's "Offshore installations:
guidance on design, construction and certification" which was
withdrawn in 1998. The withdrawal of the "Guidance" was not
a reflection on the soundness (or otherwise) of the technical
information it contained; some sections (or part of sections) of the
"Guidance" are currently referred to by the offshore
industry. For this reason, after consultation with industry, relevant
sections are now published as separate documents in the HSE Offshore
technology (OT) report series. Whilst the text has been reformatted
for offshore technology publication, the technical content has not
been updated.
