Requirements for Shipboard Cable

Requirements for Shipboard Cable

Requirements for Shipboard Cable

(OP)
Are there certain standards that cable must meet to be placed on an off shore oil rig in Europe

ie. IEC 60092-3 Design Guidlines - Marine Shipboard Cable
IEC 60332-3/A - Flame Retardance
IEC 60331 - Fire Resistance
IEC 60754-1,2 - Halogen Free
IEC 61034-1,2 - Smoke Density

or is this up to the oil rig company?

The company I work for (in Canada) has a possible contract with a European Off-Shore oil rig. Our coaxial cable in the system has to have a maximum temp rating of at least 165°C, but this is impossible to do with also meeting IEC 60754 - zero halogen content. Any suggestions?
Thanks

RE: Requirements for Shipboard Cable

Review the contract requirements to determine what codes and standards apply.  Are the specific IEC standards required?

I wasn't sure if the standards were contract based or not.
