FORE/ORD The oil industry in India is o"er %&& years old. 's such# "arious practices ha"e been in "ogue because of collaboration(association !ith different foreign companies and go"ernments. Standardisation in design philosophies and operating and maintenance practices at a national le"el !as hardly in e istence. This# coupled !ith feed bac) from some serious accidents that occurred in the recent past in India and abroad# emphasised the need for the industry to re"ie! the e isting state of art in designing# operating and maintaining oil and gas installations. *ith this in "ie!# the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas in %+,constituted a Safety .ouncil assisted by the Oil Industry Safety Directorate /OISD0# staffed from !ithin the industry# formulating and implementing a series of self regulatory measures aimed at remo"ing obsolescence# standardising and upgrading the e isting standards to ensure safer operations. 'ccordingly# OISD constituted a number of functional committees comprising of e perts nominated from the industry to dra! up standards and guidelines on "arious sub1ects. OISD ha"e brought out a number of documents on "arious topics li)e layouts of installations# design# engineering# maintenance and operations of "arious facilities ( e$uipment etc. 's petroleum industry is inherently ha2ardous from fire point of "ie!# fire fighting establishment in the installation is of "ital importance. 3eeping in "ie! the need to standardise "arious fire fighting facilities re$uired by the oil industry# OISD ha"e brought out standards on 45ire Protection facilities for Petroleum 6efineries and Oil(Gas Processing Plants /OISD7STD7%%-0# 45ire Protection facilities for Petroleum Depots and Terminals /OISD7STD7%%80# 5ire protection facilities for 9PG plants OISD7 STD7%:: & %-+ and Inspection of 5ire 5ighting ;$uipment and System OISD7 STD7%:<.

12*INTRODUCTION ?ydrocarbon processing and handling installations are inherently ha2ardous o!ing to the highly inflammable nature of petroleum products. Processing plants are becoming more comple due to adoption of ne! technologies and cost optimisation along !ith en"ironmental considerations. Though care is ta)en at design stage itself to a"oid possibility of fire occurring in the installation# fire incidents do ta)e place and !e need to e$uip our sel"es to tac)le such situations to minimise loss of production# plant & e$uipment and precious li"es. To achie"e the ob1ecti"e# !e need to ha"e the right type of e$uipment and fire fighting agents along !ith suitable strategy to meet emergency re$uirements. )2* SCO&E This document pro"ides guidelines for de"elopment of detailed procedures for specifications( inspection and testing of "arious fire fighting e$uipment# appliances and materials.
