INTRODUCTION
Objectives of the NORSOK Coding System
The coding system has been developed to meet the following main objectives:
To support the objectives of NORSOK.
Compliance with the functional NORSOK standards to enable standardised deliveries
and transfer of experience.
To contribute to a quick project initiation and minimum project execution time.
To ensure common coding for multifunctional teams and multi-skilled personnel.
To enable and ensure efficient and standardised communication within the petroleum
and natural gas industries.
To support functional breakdown of a facility and related documentation of systems,
subsystems and equipment to ensure standardisation and reuse.
Main Changes from revision 2 to revision 3
The functional breakdown has been simplified in that the number of levels in breakdown have
been reduced; the unit and sub-unit have both been removed from the structure
In general the identification codes have been tried to be made simpler and less classifying;
change to simpler identification
The documentation identification code has been simplified
The TAG Code format has been designed to 6 different main types, there is no general coding
format covering all main groups
Association of attributes to the code formats have been made more explicit, more have been
made mandatory. The attributes are in general anticipated to be registered as information
elements in the information management systems / technical databases
The definition of systems and subsystems have been revised and made more explicit
Tag coding of Telecommunication does not have a separate section, but has been included as part
of instrumentation
HVAC is regarded to be as a utility system in general, and a special system
Documentation codes have been simplified

FOREWORD
NORSOK (The competitive standing of the Norwegian offshore sector) is the industry initiative to
add value, reduce cost and lead time and remove unnecessary activities in offshore field
developments and operations.
The NORSOK standards are developed by the Norwegian petroleum industry as a part of the
NORSOK initiative and are jointly issued by OLF (The Norwegian Oil Industry Association) and
TBL (Federation of Norwegian Engineering Industries). NORSOK standards are administered by
NTS (Norwegian Technology Standards Institution).
The purpose of this industry standard is to replace the individual oil company specifications for use
in future petroleum industry developments and operations, subject to the individual company's
review and application.
The NORSOK standards make references to international standards. Where relevant, the contents of
this standard will be used to provide input to the international standardisation process. Subject to
implementation into international standards, this NORSOK standard will be withdrawn.
All annexes except annex F, G and H are normative.
SCOPE
This coding system has been developed for tag coding and document coding.
Coding of articles and bulk materials is governed by the NORSOK standard Z-CR-002, Component
identification.

physical component within a facility. The functional location only refers
to where the tag is located within a system, NOT the precise physical
position.
The organisation/contractor/supplier who initially created a document.
The organisation currently responsible for a document, may change over the
lifetime of the document.
Shall is an absolute requirement that shall be followed strictly in order to
conform with the standard.
Should is a recommendation. Alternative solutions having the same
functionality and quality are acceptable.
May indicates a course of action that is permissible within the limits of the
standard (a permission).
Can-requirements are conditional and indicate a possibility open to the user
of the standard.

DOCUMENT CODING
5.1
General
This section of the Coding System covers the coding of documents used throughout the life of a
facility, including technical (engineering and manufacturing), administrative and procurement
documents.
A complete document code consists of the document identification code and mandatory attributes.
5.2
Document identification code format
The document identification code structure is:
-ZZZZZ
-A
-NNNN
S5-10696-P-0001
A Saga Petroleum project, Achilles code as originator code (Aker Engineering), and
first process document.
C010-KE-I-0001
A Phillips Petroleum project, project allocated originator code (Kvrner Engineering),
first instrument document.

Mandatory attributes
The mandatory attributes shall be used to enable further detailed description, cross-referencing and
presentation.
All mandatory attributes shall be registered in the document information system and shown on the
document. When not applicable NA shall be filled in.
The mandatory attributes are:
System

(See below)
(See below)
(See below)
(according to ISO 8601, 1988. Example: 19960827)
See below
The title shall describe the content of the document in a concise way, max. 80 characters.
The responsible party code identifies the organisational unit responsible for the document. The
responsible party code is identified by up to five alphanumeric characters. The responsible party
code shall, at first, be the same as the originator code, but may change during a document's life
cycle. For example a document created by an engineering contractor may have its responsibility
transferred to a fabricator and later to a hook-up/commissioning contractor. The responsible party
code shall be changed in the document information system each time a document is transferred from
one responsible party to another. If the document is revised the responsible party code will also be
changed on the document as well as in the document information system.
Revision codes. The purpose of the sequential revision number, format NN, is to give each revision
a unique identification. The two character sequential number starting at 01 shall be given for the
documents first issue and shall be increased with one for each revision.
Purchase order identification may be individually defined.
