Installation  Manual
The  installation  manual  provides  a  comprehensible  and  plausible  representation  of  the  scheduled ­
  work  processes,  including  the  technical  boundary  conditions,  starting  with  the  loading
of  the  components  onto  the  transport  vessels  at  the  base  port  (last  port  before  the  installation
location)  up  to  the  completion  of  the  implementation,  such  as  the  submarine  cable  feedthrough ­
  into  the  so-called  “J-tube”  of  the  offshore  wind  turbine  or  substation  platform.  It  serves, ­
  in  particular,  to  present  and  test  the  implementation  schedule  of  the  structure.
Implementation  Planning
In  general,  the  implementation  planning  phase  starts  once  the  installation  manual  has  been
completed.  It  supplies  documents  according  to  which  processes  are  carried  out  and  the  components ­
  to  be  implemented  constructed  and/or  installed.  The  level  of  detail  of  the  implementation ­
  plan  complies  with  the  available  certifications  and  the  certified  processes,  I.  e.  installation ­
  vessels,  for  example,  operating  within  the  framework  of  their  operation  regulations  (e.  g.
class  -  certificate)  do  not  have  to  be  documented  or  inspected  separately.
Implementation  Planning
During  the  implementation  planning  phase,  the  preceding  design  plan  (construction  drawings
and  construction  documents),  resp.  the  approval  plan  must  have  been  worked  through  in
enough  detail  to  allow  the  construction  project  to  be  completed.  The  implementation  plans
include  all  data  necessary  to  erect  or  to  rebuild  the  structure.  Normally,  for  all  trades  that  manufacture ­
  parts  in  advance  at  permanent  manufacturing  plants,  the  implementation  planning
phase  is  followed  by  a  workshop  planning  or  an  assembly  planning  phase.
Incident
An  incident  or  an  emergency  is  an  acute  danger  to  human  beings  or  material  assets  and/or  an
acute  danger  or  disturbance,  in  particular  of  technical  processes  and  infrastructures,  that  is
relevant  to  preserving  the  functionality  of  the  structure  and  that  disturbs  or  interrupts  the  regular ­
  sequence  of  operations.
Independent  Third  Parties
Independent  third  parties  in  terms  of  this  standard  are:  the  appointed  inspector  him/herself  or
appropriately  suitable  inspectors  as  well  as  the  certified  inspector.
Initial  Audit
The  initial  audit  is  intended  to  provide  a  meaningful,  general  view  of  the  extent  to  which  the
management  system  has  been  incorporated  into  the  implementation  currently  under  consideration. ­
  Furthermore,  the  technical  qualification  of  the  operation  is  to  be  verified  with  regard  to
the  upcoming  task.
Inspection
Controlling  measure  conducted  by  in-house  staff  or  by  qualified  agents  in  order  to  ascertain
and  to  evaluate  the  actual  state  of  the  facility  to  be  inspected  (system,  technical  medium,  object, ­
  etc.).
Isolated  Operation
Operation  mode  of  the  power  units  when  using  the  standby  power  system  or  the  emergency
power  supply.  In  this  case,  the  voltage  and  frequency  are  autonomously  controlled.
J-Tube
Designation  used  in  offshore  engineering  for  a  cable  tube  that  features  a  bend  at  the  bottom
end  in  order  to  deflect  the  cable  in  a  vertical  direction  along  the  foundation  structure.  Special
funnels  are  provided  to  thread  the  cable  into  these  tubes.
