NORSOK Standard 1 of 13
Welding and Inspection of piping M-CR-601
Rev. 1, December 1994
1 FOREWORD
This standard has been developed by the NORSOK Standardisation Work Group for the
widest possible national and international application. This standard will be used as input
to the development of ISO 13703, “Platform Piping Systems”, which will replace API 14E.
2 SCOPE
This standard covers technical requirements for welding and weld inspection of piping
systems, for which NORSOK L-CR-001, «Piping and Valves» is the governing design
standard .
This standard is based on ASME B31.3 in general and as an option to use EN 288 for
welding procedure qualifications and EN 287 for welder qualifications in particular. The
ASME B31.3 shall apply with addition of the requirements given in this standard.
This standard applies to all piping fabrication including prefabrication, module assembly,
package or skid mounted units, site and field installation and shall be considered together
with applicable drawings.
