The aforementioned purposes are also served by the specific requirements in numbers 4.2 and 
4.3 for configuring corrosion protection and the colour scheme for the systems. The requirement 
on the colour scheme of the systems is intended to avoid any dazzle effect due to unnecessary 
reflections on smooth surfaces of the systems. The requirement on using oil-repellent coatings 
in the area that comes into contact with the sea surface ensures that drifting oil in the area of the 
project will not adhere to the components which would prevent the oil from being recovered. This 
is intended to avoid the situation in which adhering oil would be washed out into the water continu 
ously over a lengthy period. 
The expected input of sound into the body of water should be named in close connection to 
this, and the noise level is also subject to an imposed minimum requirement. The requirement in 
number 4.4 takes account of the possible powerful effect of noise input and its avoidance. 
2.3.2 Construction and operation of the power export cable of offshore wind turbines 
Number 1 
The subject of the approval is the power export cable system in the area of the EEZ for connecting 
the offshore wind turbines to the power grid, including its planned location and the transfer point at the 
boundary to sovereign territory. 
Number 2 
In the engineering measures preparing for cable laying and during subsequent monitoring, compliance 
with the current version of the BSH standard „Standard for Geotechnical Site and Route Surveys. Mini 
mum Requirements for the Foundation of Offshore Wind Turbines and Power Cable Route Burial Assess 
ments“ £1] is required; any deviations shall be applied for to the approval authority and their equivalence 
shall be justified. Investigations for the route survey shall be applied for in good time in accordance with 
§ 132 of the Federal Mining Act (BBergG). 
Number 3 
The documents examined by the certifier/registered inspector containing the specific technical speci 
fications (manufacturer, cable design, substances used, weight per meter cable) of the cable that will 
be used shall be presented to the BSH for examination and approval. The current version of the BSH 
standard „Design of Offshore Wind Turbines“ £2] shall be observed during the development, design, 
implementation and inspection; any deviations shall be applied for to the approval authority and their 
equivalence shall be justified. 
2.4 Additional standard specifications for offshore wind farms 
The current version of the aforementioned standard „Standard for Geotechnical Site and Route Surveys. 
Minimum Requirements for the Foundation of Offshore Wind Turbines and Power Cable Route Burial As 
sessments“ £1] by the BSH forms part of this code of practice. 
Safety and precautionary measures as defined by § 5 para. 2 clause 2 SeeAnlV are defined in a sepa 
rate regulation. A corresponding standard for a protection and safety concept can be incorporated. The 
regulations in the „Richtlinie der WSDen und der Fachstelle derWSV für Verkehrstechniken (FVT) für die 
Gestaltung, Kennzeichnung und Betrieb von Offshore-Windparks“ are unaffected by this. 
Generally recognised rules of technology that already exist specifically for certain individual components 
or systems are listed as basic standard provisions in the corresponding regulation materials. If applica 
ble to offshore wind turbines, the valid German technical regulations take precedence. Omitted regula
