The purpose of this user feedback review is to capture your assessment on the requirements of an existing specification so that we can further our stated goals of improving procurement and delivery of equipment for the oil and gas industry.  This is the first step in the update and revision of our specifications and is a chance for purchasers and suppliers to be able to comment on how the current specification requirements can be improved.

During the revision process, the S-715 – Coating & Painting for Offshore, Marine Coastal & Subsea Environments (NORSOK) will be updated in accordance with a minimum common set of supplementary requirements for the procurement of coating and painting for offshore, marine coastal and subsea environments in accordance with the forthcoming publication of NORSOK M-501, Surface Preparation and Protective Coating, for application in the petroleum and natural gas industries.

The JIP33 standardized procurement specification normally follows a common document structure comprising of four documents, which together with the purchase order define the overall technical specification for procurement.

It has been developed in consultation with a broad user and supplier base to realize benefits from standardization and achieve significant project and schedule cost reductions.

Updates and future specifications will be announced via the project’s mailing list, LinkedIn and Twitter profile.
