Part B - Verifications and approval requirements 
• Supply and disposal (according to the “as low as reasonably practicable” (ALARP) prin 
ciple): 
- Bunker concept 
- Refuelling concept 
- Waste concept 
- Wastewater concept 
- Pumping out concept 
- Consideration of environmental aspects (e. g. MARPOL) and 
- Requirements placed on catchment and drainage systems (particularly for the helicopter 
landing pad) 
• Emergency management: 
- Evacuation, e. g. escape routes, primary and secondary rescue appliances 
- Emergency supply 
• Transport and access: 
- Use and number of access systems: Boat landings; areas with winch operations (winch- 
down platform); helicopter landing pad etc. 
- Transport and load handling (zones where cranes operate etc.) 
• Planned method and schedule for building, installation, operation and decommissioning 
• Concept for fixtures and fittings (for accommodation modules) 
• Safety aspects for layout and installations and 
• Safety demands and functional requirements placed on equipment. 
5.2.2 Technical codes of practice 
The technical codes of practice for the support structure are listed in chapter B2.3.1. 
For information on the design of the structural steel part of the operational structure for off 
shore stations, reference is made to Appendix 5 (Application notes for the BSH Standard De 
sign - “Minimum requirements concerning the constructive design of offshore structures 
within the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ)”). 
5.2.3 Requirements and necessary verifications 
Supplementary to the information listed in chapters B2 and B3, the design basis shall contain 
the following information: 
• Functional specifications and requirements placed on the primary and secondary support 
structures of the offshore station 
- Site conditions of the operational structure and the support structure of the offshore sta 
tion 
- Approach paths for helicopters, if applicable 
- Preliminary cable layout and routing and 
- Max. height of the structure
