(16) AWS D1.1, Structural Welding Code—Steel, including Commentary, (incorporated by reference as specified in §250.198);

(17) AWS D1.4, Structural Welding Code—Reinforcing Steel, (incorporated by reference as specified in §250.198);

(18) AWS D3.6M, Specification for Underwater Welding, (incorporated by reference as specified in §250.198);

(19) NACE Standard MR0175, Sulfide Stress Cracking Resistant Metallic Materials for Oilfield Equipment, (incorporated by reference as specified in §250.198);

(20) NACE Standard RP 01–76–94, Standard RP, Corrosion Control of Steel Fixed Offshore Platforms Associated with Petroleum Production, (incorporated by reference as specified in §250.198).

(b) You must follow the requirements contained in the documents listed under paragraph (a) of this section insofar as they do not conflict with other provisions of 30 CFR Part 250. You may use applicable provisions of these documents, as approved by the Regional Supervisor, for the design, fabrication, and installation of platforms such as spars, since standards specifically written for such structures do not exist. You may also use alternative codes, rules, or standards, as approved by the Regional Supervisor, under the conditions enumerated in §250.141.

(c) For information on the standards mentioned in this section, and where they may be obtained, see §250.198 of this part.
