submarine cable, the offshore wind turbine, the substation platform as well as all other struc 
tures. It serves, in particular, to describe and test the decommissioning processes for the in 
dividual components. The disposal verifications are not part of the decommissioning instruc 
tion manual. 
Decommissioning Log 
The decommissioning log is the daily documentation of the work carried out and the bound 
ary conditions during the decommissioning work, such as the external conditions (swell, wind, 
tide, ice drift) as well as any unusual occurrence, such as an accident. 
Decommissioning Statement 
The decommissioning statement contains the description of the actual situation on-site after 
the completion of the respective decommissioning phase, including any deviations from the 
decommissioning instruction manual (final design) which must be accordingly indicated. 
Design Basis 
Set of relevant basic documents and design rules as well as applicable standards and directi 
ves and their hierarchy. 
Design Rules 
Rules, standards, directives, and approaches that define the engineering application of the 
on-site conditions as well as the assessment of the design. They form part of the design basis 
in combination with the basic documents. 
Design Values of the Soil Parameters 
Please refer to Nominal Values. 
Dynamic Loads on the Subsoil 
High-frequency periodic effects (vibrations) or intermittent transient effects (shocks) that 
create such a high stress modification rate in the ground that inertial loads cannot be neglec 
ted, and which principally establish small deformations of a constant volume with a quasi 
elastic nature. 
Emergency 
Please refer to Incident 
Emergency Operation 
During emergency operation, the electrical supply of all the important devices with a safety 
function comes from a power source that is suitable for safety purposes. This power source is 
not intended to supply further devices for any reason or purpose other than safety. Emergency 
service is automatically initiated when all incoming supplies from the general electric power 
grid are interrupted and there is no other power system available to supply safety-significant 
devices. 
Eurocode 
General name of the DIN EN 199x standards series, including their respective national anne 
xes and the additional rules included in the standards and normative referrals in their respec 
tive published versions (White Copy). 
Evaluation Criteria 
The evaluation criteria (for the periodic inspections) are to be fixed in the test and/or inspec 
tion plan at object and site-level.
