2. FUNCTIONAL NORMATIVE REQUIREMENTS
2.1 Operative environment
The products described in this specification are meant for a marine operative
environment and are to meet the functional requirements specified below taking
into account this intended purpose. Materials and components which are not
subject to the specific functional requirements mentioned in this document or
specified in the normative references are in any case to be supplied by the
Contractor so as to ensure optimum technical performance in the marine operative
environment.
2.2 Functional requirements
The functional requirements which the shackles and blocks are to meet are those
contained in the national and international standardizations and in the rules 1.2.2
and 1.2.3.
In particular, for standardized components, the following requirements being the
subject of the standardization are always to be complied with:
- specific characteristics related to the standardization:
geometry of the assembly (shackle or block)
geometry and fabrication requirements of the components (e.g. u-bolts, pins,
bushings etc.)
(the standardizations, if any, concerning components mentioned in the
standardization of the assembly are also to be complied with)

mechanical requirements (allowable working loads)
physical characteristics (weights)
- materials to be used
- heat treatments recommended for assembly or components
- requirements for protective surface treatments (e.g. galvanisation).
2.3 Boundaries, limits and exclusions
2.3.1 Applicability limits
Unless specified otherwise in the contract, this specification is to be understood as
applying to products intended for AGIP offshore in Italy.
With regard to the above, the Contractor shall guarantee that the design,
construction and testing of the supplies described in this document comply with the
requirements of the normative standards in 1.2.2, with the requirements of the rules
in 1.2.3 and also with any rules imposed by the relevant Italian authorities. In
particular, the blocks intended for lifting appliances installed on offshore fixed
platforms are to meet the requirements of the Italian Presidential Decree no. 547
dated 27.4.1955 "Rules for the prevention of injuries at work" as far as design
(safety factors) and geometrical ratios (ratio sheave/wire rope diameters and ratio
sheave/single wire diameters) are concerned.
2.3.2 Specific requirements for assistance and installation
The Contractor is to provide all necessary assistance during the guarantee period.
Moreover, all repairs and/or replacements needed to restore the efficiency and/or
reliability lost due to material defects or to fabrication defects, ruptures and/or
failures are to be carried out in as short a time as possible. Technical assistance
during assembly, installation and operational adjustments of the products may be
required.
2.4 Ergonomics
The design and arrangement of the products described in this specification are to
satisfy the applicable ergonomic requirements and criteria mentioned in the rules
referred to in 1.2.2 a.
2.5 Safety
Unless specified otherwise in the contract or in a Company ad hoc specification,
the safety requirements to be complied with for the supply of the products
described in this specification are those in the reference standards in 1.2.

2.6 One-off functional requirements
If the supply is intended for fixed offshore platforms situated in international
waters or for non-Italian flag ships operating for the Company, any additional
requirements or compulsory technical rules other than those mentioned in para. 1.2
are to be specified separately or through a Company ad hoc specification.
2.7 Requirements for Quality Management and Quality Assurance
The additional requirements for Quality Management and/or Quality Assurance (if
any) are contained in the applicable management specification attached to the
request of tender.
2.8 Additional requirements for review
Notwithstanding what is specified under para. 2.3.1, the inspections and tests are
to comply with what is foreseen in the Italian rules recognised by the relevant
authorities and in particular those referred to in 1.2.3 a) and b).
Shackles and blocks are to be certified by a certifying body recognized by the
Company; the inspections and tests, as well as the hard-stamping of the tested
assembly and components, are to be performed by the certifying body in
accordance with the reference rules. All tested components are always to be hard-
stamped with their respective safe working load value by using international metric
system units.
2.9 Documentation
All the construction and functional characteristics of the shackles and blocks are to
be made known and specified by the Contractor to the Company (see also Chapter
3 of this specification). In particular, the following basic data are always to be
clearly indicated:
- type of shackle or block
- reference rules and/or standardizations
- main geometrical dimensions
- weight
- technical characteristics (materials and fabrication details)
- conditions for technical assistance
- list of spare parts, if any (recommended for 2 years).
In describing the above-mentioned items and characteristics, the Contractor shall
highlight all the reference standards and specifications followed, indicating the
number of the edition and/or of the revision and of any enclosures.
