Full title and description
ISO 19900:2019 — Petroleum and natural gas industries — General requirements for offshore structures. This International Standard specifies general requirements and recommendations for the design, assessment and structural integrity management of bottom‑founded (fixed) and buoyant (floating) offshore structures throughout their life cycle (fabrication, transportation, installation, in‑service life, life‑extension, decommissioning and removal).
Abstract
This document provides the overarching principles and mandatory/recommended provisions used when designing or assessing offshore platforms and other primary load‑bearing offshore structures. It is applicable to new-build designs and assessments of existing structures but excludes subsea/riser systems and pipeline systems. The standard addresses life‑cycle phases including construction, in‑service performance and end‑of‑life activities.
General information
- Status: Published (Edition 3 — current); a revision (ISO/DIS 19900) has been developed under ISO/TC 67/SC 7.
- Publication date: June 2019 (Edition published 2019‑06; national adoptions published mid‑2019).
- Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
- ICS / categories: 75.180.10 (Petroleum and natural gas industries — Offshore structures).
- Edition / version: Edition 3 (2019).
- Number of pages: 64 pages (official ISO edition). Note: some national/adopted versions may show slight pagination differences.
Scope
ISO 19900:2019 specifies general requirements and recommendations for design and assessment of fixed (bottom‑founded) and floating (buoyant) offshore structures and is applicable for all life phases: pre‑service (fabrication, transportation, installation), in‑service (original design life and any extensions), and decommissioning/removal. The standard is intended for both new structures and integrity assessment of existing structures. It does not apply to subsea/riser systems or pipeline systems.
Key topics and requirements
- General principles for structural design and assessment applicable to fixed and floating offshore structures.
- Life‑cycle considerations covering fabrication, transport, installation, in‑service inspection/maintenance, life extension and decommissioning.
- Requirements for structural integrity management and assessment of existing assets.
- Interaction and interface requirements with project‑specific standards (for example load, metocean and geotechnical provisions found in the ISO 19901 series and related parts).
- Clear exclusions (pipelines, risers and subsea systems) and guidance on scope boundaries.
Typical use and users
Used by offshore structural and mechanical engineers, design houses, asset integrity and inspection teams, operators, classification societies, regulatory bodies and project managers involved in oil & gas and offshore energy projects. With ongoing updates to ISO 19900 (DIS stage) the standard is also being positioned to support wider offshore energy applications, including renewable offshore structures.
Related standards
ISO 19900 is the general/umbrella document in the ISO 19900/19901 series. Relevant connected standards include the ISO 19901 series (site‑specific and design loads and related topics), ISO 19902 (fixed steel offshore structures), ISO 19903 (floating offshore structures), ISO 19904/19905 parts and other industry specifications (and national/adopted variants). Users commonly apply ISO 19900 in conjunction with applicable ISO 19901‑series parts and other sector‑specific standards.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: ISO 19900:2019 is an International Standard that sets out general requirements and recommendations for the design and assessment of bottom‑founded (fixed) and buoyant (floating) offshore structures across their life cycle.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers overarching design and assessment principles, life‑cycle stages (fabrication, transport, installation, in‑service, life extension, decommissioning), and integrity management for new and existing offshore structures; it excludes subsea/riser and pipeline systems.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Structural and offshore engineers, project design teams, operators, asset integrity specialists, classification societies and regulators involved in offshore oil & gas and other offshore energy projects.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: The 2019 edition (Edition 3) is the current published edition. ISO has developed a draft/revision (ISO/DIS 19900) to update and broaden provisions; users should check committee activity if they need the very latest development status.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: Yes — ISO 19900 provides general requirements and is intended to be used with the ISO 19901 series (and other related ISO 1990x parts) that address specific aspects such as metocean, geotechnical, and particular structural categories.
