NORSOK D-001
NORSOK D-001 is a Norwegian standard that specifies requirements for the design and layout of technical documentation in the petroleum industry, particularly for offshore oil and gas facilities. It provides guidelines for document structure, numbering, formatting, and content to ensure consistency, clarity, and safety in engineering and operational documents. This standard is part of the NORSOK (Norsk Sokkels Konkurranseposisjon) series developed to enhance competitiveness and safety in the Norwegian offshore sector.
Developers and technical writers should learn NORSOK D-001 when working on projects in the oil and gas industry, especially for offshore installations, as it ensures compliance with industry-specific documentation standards required for safety, regulatory approval, and operational efficiency. It is critical for creating technical manuals, procedures, and design documents that must be clear, standardized, and accessible to engineers, operators, and maintenance personnel in high-risk environments.
