The newly developed GL Rules for Subsea Pipelines and Risers, Edition 1995, supplement the existing Regulations of GL. The new Code considers modern design evaluation methods, such as partial safety coefficients, stress and strain criteria, modern buckling phenomena. Based on experience from numerous offshore pipeline projects detailed guidelines on essential aspects during installation, operation and design evaluation have been included. The paper describes some essentials of the safety philosophy used in these Rules and gives further information on the established methods.
