FOREWORD Introduction to BP Group Recommended Practices and Specifications for Engineering The Introductory Volume contains a series of documents that provide an introduction to the BP Group Recommended Practices and Specifications for Engineering (RPSEs). In particular, the 'General Foreword' sets out the philosophy of the RPSEs. Other documents in the Introductory Volume provide general guidance on using the RPSEs and background information to Engineering Standards in BP. There are also recommendations for specific definitions and requirements. Value of this Guidance for Specification This GUidance for Specification was developed under the BP Exploration XEU Simple Specifications Initiative. This initiative is intended to simplify the purchasing requirements through a minimum conditions of satisfaction approach in regions where there is a mature supplier resource. Application This Guidance for Specification is intended to guide the purchaser in the use or creation of a fit-for-purpose specification for enquiry or purchasing activity. Text in italics is Commentary. Commentary provides background information which supports the requirements of the Specification, and may discuss alternative options. This document may refer to certain local, national or international regulations but the responsibility to ensure compliance with legislation and any other statutory requirements lies with the user. The user should adapt or supplement this document to ensure compliance for the specific application. Specification Ready for Application A Specification (BP Spec 106-5) is available which may be suitable for enquiry or purchasing without modification. It is derived from this BP Group Guidance for Specification by retaining the technical body unaltered but omitting all commentary, omitting the data page and inserting a modified Foreword. Feedback and Further Information Users are invited to feed back any comments and to detail experiences in the application of BP RPSE's, to assist in the process of their continuous improvement. For feedback and further information, please contact Standards Group, BP International or the Custodian. See Quarterly Status List for contacts.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 Scope This document specifies the minimum requirements for Painting of Offshore Packages. It provides guidance on the coatings required for various applications, and a mandatory colour schedule that has been included on the grounds of safety.
It is intended for use in conjunction with functional specifications, associated data sheets and drawings which give specific project requirements.

The manufacturer's standard painting system shall be acceptable to the purchaser provided his system meets the following minimum requirements.
1.2 Quality Assurance Verification of the vendor's quality system is normally part of the pre-qualification procedure, and is therefore not specified in the core text of this specification. If this is not the case, clauses should be inserted to require the vendor to operate and be prepared to demonstrate the quality system to the purchaser. The quality system should ensure that the technical and QA requirements specified in the enquiry and purchase documents are applied to all materials, equipment and services provided by sub-contractors and to any free issue materials. Further suggestions may be found in the BP Group RPSEs Introductory Volume

GENERAL 3.1 All paints shall be applied in accordance with manufacturer's data sheets. For surface preparation and painting, the ambient temperature shall not be less than 10C, the relative humidity shall be less than 85%, and the metal temperature shall exceed the dew point by more than 3C. Except as indicated above, stainless steel and other corrosion resistant alloys may be left unpainted unless required for identification purposes. External carbon steel surfaces that are fire proofed using a dry insulation system shall be painted as per coating system 1 or 2. Equipment in controlled environments - manufacturers standard paint system.
