This NORSOK standard replaces NORSOK M-630, MDS P-01, and NORSOK M-CR-621. This NORSOK standard is based upon ISO 14692 (all parts), but extended with sections on quality control and NDT including two annexes describing ultrasonic and radiography testing, respectively.

This NORSOK standard specifies additional and optional requirements to ISO 14692 (all parts). All components that form part of a GRP piping system (e.g. pipe, branches, bends, tees, flanges, and joints) are covered.

This NORSOK standard is directed towards piping systems in GRP materials used on offshore production platforms, but may also be used for similar onshore systems.
