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  continuously ­
  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.  Minimum ­
  Requirements  for  the  Foundation  of  Offshore  Wind  Turbines  and  Power  Cable  Route  Burial  Assessments“ ­
  £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  specifications ­
  (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  Assessments“ ­
  £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  separate ­
  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  applicable ­
  to  offshore  wind  turbines,  the  valid  German  technical  regulations  take  precedence.  Omitted  regula ­
