Marine & Offshore

Whether it’s a jack-up rig, a F.P.S.O. or a F.L.N.G, these offshore and marine installations typically have kilometers of pipes and hundreds of valves carrying dozens of different fluids!

Correctly labeling these are critical and, when correctly defined and installed, these identification tags and pipe markers increase safety, facilitate maintenance, minimize downtime and accelerate commissioning while simplifying regulatory compliance.

IDIGO pipe marking tapes are fully compliant with ISO 14726:2008 and are available for full wrap-up of pipe up to 24” diameter. If your project need other standard compliance, we also support ANSI / ASME A13.1 (see Oil & Gas application), NBR6493, NORSOK Z-DP-002 and more, consult us directly for such projects.

While valve tags are not as standardized as pipe markers, IDIGO valve tags come with similar designs for consistency and are available in engraved durable plastic or stainless steel for maximum durability.

In addition, such installations require emergency and evacuation signs as defined by SOLAS convention

GHS Rev 5 Specifications
Most countries* have adopted GHS Rev 5 as part of their standard framework for labelling of storage and transport of chemical and hazardous substances, , with a new Rev. 6 published in 2015.

GHS Rev 5 is the basis of Singapore SS586, part 1-3: 2008. The implementation of this standard is now completed, with the mandatory marking of all hazardous substances, including mixtures effective as of July 1st 2016.
GHS not only cover labelling of storage tanks, bottles etc, but also transport of these.

More specifically for piping labeling, rule 1.4.10.5.5.1 “Workplace labelling” explicitly states that GHS labels should be applied to “piping systems including valves” and that such installations should ensure clear hazard communication through the “use of displays with GHS symbols, colour and signal words in piping systems and processing equipments”.
