1.2 Scope

(1.2.2) Modification: “The following 10 types of FJC/CFR systems, applicable to corrosion control of
submarine pipelines, and including associated risers, are covered in this document. (The designations used
in this RP are the same as in ISO 21809-3 but some amendments are made by introducing a number within
parenthesis):

— Types 5D(1) and 5E: PE coatings applied on FBE (FJC only)”

(1.2.3) Deleted.

1.3 Objectives and use

(1.3.1) Modification: “DNVGL-RP-F102 has been prepared for compliance with general and coating system
specific requirements in ISO 21809-3. This RP focuses on the execution and documentation of quality
control, including detailed guidance to the specification of coating work. The requirements to testing and
inspection are basically the same as in ISO 21809-3. This RP includes more stringent requirements and
detailed recommendations to ensure a consistent quality of the coated pipes and to reduce the effect of
ambiguous and incomplete specifications on costs and schedule for submarine pipeline construction (see
1.1.5). Whilst ISO 21809-3 covers FJC for both onshore and offshore pipelines, this RP focuses on FJC for
submarine pipelines and includes CFR of linepipe coating.”

For the model tensioner test, the relevant tests parameters such as radial and axial loads, material of
clamp, etc. shall be defined within the ambit of PETROBRAS/Contractor.
The additional testing protocol after full scale tests shall be agreed within the relevant test procedure;
In case of existing successful full scale tests track records that were carried out in an equivalent condition
