REGULATIONS In many countries the offshore HSE regulations are based on the Safety Case concept Safety Case concept is often non-prescriptive but recognized standards should be applied. Some countries have more prescriptive regulations or guidelines to the regulations International conventions does apply in all countries

Part C, para 1.1:
to limit the spread of accidents and to allow efficient and controlled evacuation of the workplace in emergency situations -
Avoid leaks / avoid mixing with air
Avoid ignition
Avoid Escalation
Ensure escape/evacuation is possible
Or: Handle / process below flash

(Inherently safer principle)
STANDARDS & GUIDELINES
STANDARDS - GENERALLY Some standards are mandatory from regulations Code Most standards are not mandatory API, ISO, IP, EN, etc. are considered recognised standards
Standards represents best practice and a lot of experience
Further they provide standardised approaches on design features
