528 CHAPTER 19 Manipulators
API’s policy on standards is to review, revise, reaffirm, or withdraw each standard at least every five years. In June 2013, the API issued the second edition to API RP 17H, adding considerably to the coverage in the previous edition. The new edition of 17H covers Remotely Operated Tooling (ROTs) while ISO breaks ROTs into a separate Part 9 to 13628. For this section, we will cover the ISO 13628 standard as it covers both ISO 13628-8 and API 17H (first edition) and leave to the reader to delve into API 17H for the second edition based upon regional preference.
ISO 13628:2002 is divided into nine parts beginning with general requirements, moving onto recommended practices of manufacturing equipment through to the common interfaces for remote intervention and remotely operated tooling:
Part 1: General requirements and recommendations
Part 2: Flexible pipe systems for subsea and marine applications Part 3: Through flowline (TFL) systems
Part 4: Subsea wellhead and tree equipment
Part 5: Subsea umbilicals
Part 6: Subsea production control systems
Part 7: Completion/workover riser systems
Part 8: ROV interfaces on subsea production systems
