1. General
1.1 Preamble
This is a guide only for a typical drillship and should be used no more than as an example to prepare a project
specific Quality Survey Plan (QSP) that addresses all the requirements related to a specific project. A project
specific Quality Survey Plan with agreed extent of participation from DNV shall be submitted by the Builder/
Owner (as applicable) for approval by DNV prior to commencement of activities.
This guide contains requirements obtained from IACS unified requirements, Z23 “Hull Survey for New
Constructions”. For the convenience of users, various cross references to relevant rules and guidelines are
provided in addition to IACS documents.
IACS unified requirements; Z23 “Hull Survey for New Constructions” is available from www.IACS.co.uk.
This Guide also incorporates relevant requirements of IACS UI SC234, UI LL76 and UI MPC96 regarding
initial statutory surveys at new construction. Updates to IACS Z23 are also incorporated.
1.2 Objective
The objectives of this Guide is to ascertain various activities that are necessary for the Classification of a unit,
to identify Customer’s, DNV’s and various standards and procedures that are applicable to those activities, and
to define the extent of involvement by the Customer and DNV.
1.3 Scope
The scope is defined in the contract between the Customer and DNV but typically covers the requirements of
applicable rules related to main Class, Statutory and additional class notation. The scope of the typical Quality
Survey Plan should include all the activities of the new building project as much as possible, but the contents
of QSP shall not be considered as covering the detailed scope to the as specified in the contract.
Description of principles and procedures for DNV’s services related to new-building projects are described in

2.9 Documents
Reference to documents also includes electronic transmission or storage.
2.10 Survey Methods
Definition of survey methods which the Surveyor is directly involved in:
Survey: Signifies a systematic and independent examination of a unit, materials, components or systems in
order to verify compliance with rules and/or statutory requirements. Surveys will be carried out at the prefabrication sites, onboard the unit, as well as at sub-suppliers and other locations at the discretion of DNV,
which also decides the extent and method of control.
Unscheduled surveys (U): are planned activities undertaken by DNV to verify that applicable fabrication,
installation, and testing during mechanical completion phase, testing and commissioning activities related to
systems are carried out in accordance with applicable procedures in order to comply with the project
requirements.
Review (R): A systematic examination of drawings, design documents and/or records in order to evaluate their
ability to meet requirements, to identify any problems and to propose necessary actions.
Witness (W): Attending tests or measurements where the surveyor verifies compliance with agreed test or
measurement procedures.
Verification (V): Confirmation through the provision of objective evidence (analysis, observation, measurement,
test, records or other evidence) that specified requirements has been met.
MPQA: Manufacturer Product Quality Assessment (MPQA) is a tool to assess a Customer’s ability to control
product quality by using rating methodology. Where DNV has no recent experience with offshore activities at
the fabrication facility and/or when significant new infrastructure has been added, DNV may initiate an MPQA
and conclude the Customer’s QAQC-performance and set the initial survey scope on basis of the rating
methodology.
Survey Category I (Structure): is related to survey of “special areas” as defined and outlined in DNV-OS-C101
Design of Offshore Steel Structures. General (LRFD method) Section 4 C202 and C300.
Survey Category II (Structure): is related to survey of “primary areas” as defined in DNV-OS-C101 Design of
Offshore Steel Structures. General (LRFD method) Section 4 C202 and C300.
Survey Category III (Structure): is related to survey of “secondary areas” as defined in DNV-OS-C101 Design
of Offshore Steel Structures. General (LRFD method) Section C202 and C300.
Survey Category I (Systems): Systems which needs to be in continuous operation for maintaining the unit’s
manoeuvrability and position keeping. The definition is extended for systems associated with drilling and
production plants to cover systems which are needed to be available on demand to prevent development of, or
to mitigate the effects of an undesirable event, and to safeguard the personnel, environment and the installation.
Survey Category II (Systems): Generally defined as systems in continuous operation for maintaining the unit’s
manoeuvrability and station keeping, but which are necessary to maintain the unit’s main functions. The
definition is extended for systems associated with drilling and production plants to cover systems, which
ensures reliable operation and which maintains plant operation within given operational limitation.
Survey Category III (Systems): Defined as a system, which are neither Category I nor Category II.
3. Applications
Using this as a model document, a project specific Quality Survey Plan (QSP) that clearly identifies the agreed
level of participation by the Society shall be prepared by the Customer and accepted by the Society for use in
all new building classification projects.
3.1 Certification of Equipment and Materials
This document does not cover the certification of equipment and materials.
Evidence of acceptance for such items shall be provided by the Client by way of accompanying documentation
from a Class Surveyor at manufacturer’s or other applicable location and verified at the Customer’s location.
DET NORSKE VERITAS AS
Recommended Practice DNV-RP-A204, September 2011
4. Review of the Construction Facility – Page 6
3.2 Locations of Construction
This document applies to the offshore construction activities at any of the following:
i) Customer’s construction facilities
ii) Subcontractors at the Customer’s construction facilities
iii) Subcontractors at their own facilities or at other remote locations.
4. Review of the Construction Facility
DNV is to familiarize itself with the Customer’s production facilities, management processes, and safety
procedures for consideration in determining the contents and application of Table 5-1. This familiarization
shall take place prior to starting any fabrication or construction. Such familiarization will take place under the
following circumstances:
i) Where DNV has no recent experience at the construction facility (typically after a lapse of one year) or
when a significant new infrastructure to the facility has been added
ii) Where there has been a significant management or personnel restructuring, having an impact on the ship or
offshore construction processes or,
iii) Where the builder contracts to construct a vessel of a different type or substantially different in design.
In order to assess compliance with specified Rules, Standards and Regulations, the Society may require
additional documentation and carry out an assessment of yard’s processes, systems, and personnel related to
the classification projects. The results of the assessment should be used as a basis to decide on the extent of the
involvement of surveyors of the Society. The extent of the Classifications Society’s involvement for the site
survey activities shall be clearly reflected in Table 5-1 in this document.
Where DNV has no recent experience with new building activities at the builder’s construction facility or its
subcontractors and/or when significant new infrastructure has been added, DNV may initiate an MPQA and
evaluate the Customer’s QA/QC-performance and set the initial survey scope on basis of the MPQA rating
methodology.
5. New building Survey Planning
5.1 Kick-off Meeting
Prior to commencement of any new building project, the Customer and DNV are to discuss at a kick-off
meeting the survey activity items listed in Table 5-1. The purpose is to agree how the list of specific activities
shown in the Table is sufficiently comprehensive, to be adjusted, if necessary and to be addressed.
A record of the meeting is to be made, based upon the contents of the Table, (the table can be used as the record
with comments made inserted in the appropriate column). The Customer may be asked to agree to undertake
ad hoc investigations during construction where areas of concern arise. DNV is to be kept informed of the
progress of any investigation. Whenever an investigation is undertaken and, if warranted by the severity of the
problem, the Customer should suspend relevant construction activities until counteractive measures are
satisfactorily implemented, reviewed and accepted by the Society.
5.2 Quality Standards
Construction quality standards for the hull structure, piping, electrical, HVAC and other disciplines during new
building project are to be properly listed in this document, reviewed and agreed during the kick-off meeting.
5.3 Survey Extent
It shall be underscored that the QSP table is not exhaustive, and in cases where the QSP is incomplete and/or
not necessarily covering all survey aspects, it shall be the prerogative of DNV to require such activities/items
added.
The QSP only covers survey activities and does not cover the technical interpretations of the statutory
requirements or approval of plans, designs and manuals required by the Regulations.
