The technical requirements contained in this publication shall apply to all machinery that is installed on board such offshore units, all devices, apparatuses and other equipment, whose normal operating conditions would ensure the required level of safety of the unit/platform as a whole in all operating modes.

All drilling/production equipment and technical solutions related to the safely of drilling and well operations, shall conform with the requirements of state bodies engaged in safety supervision in the offshore industry. The Rulebook has been divided into twenty parts.

The next two parts address the stability and subdivision, including general requirements, stability criteria and damage trim and stability.
