NORSOK standards

The NORSOK standards are developed by the Norwegian petroleum industry. Their purpose is to ensure safety, enhance value, and promote cost-effectiveness in petroleum industry developments and operations. These standards aim to replace oil company specifications and serve as references in regulatory authorities’ regulations. Website: https://standard.no/en/sectors/petroleum/norsok-standards/ To the best of our knowledge, no new documents related to diving, ROVs, and AUVs have been published since late 2024. However, note the document “NORSOK M-501 Revision 7 Systems Guide 2025 Edition", below, related to offshore works:

The ILO "World Employment and Social Outlook: Trends 2025 report" analyzes global labour market trends, highlighting challenges such as a slow economic recovery, persistent youth unemployment, and gender disparities. This report also examines structural issues affecting workers worldwide and offers insights into regional and global patterns shaping the future of work.

This document serves as a reference for the selection, application, and maintenance of protective coating systems used in offshore and related industries, considering the protection's efficiency and durability, as well as addressing health, safety, and environmental impacts.
