This document specifies the requirements for the manufacture of two product specification levels (PSLs) of induction bends corresponding to product specification levels given for pipe in ISO 3183. This document is not applicable to the selection of the induction bend PSL. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to specify the PSL, based upon the intended use and design requirements; see also ISO 3183, Introduction. This document is not applicable to pipeline bends made by other manufacturing processes.

ISO 15589-2:2012 specifies requirements and gives recommendations for the pre-installation surveys, design, materials, equipment, fabrication, installation, commissioning, operation, inspection and maintenance of cathodic protection systems for offshore pipelines for the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries as defined in ISO 13623. It is applicable to carbon steel, stainless steel and flexible pipelines in offshore service as well as to retrofits, modifications and repairs made to existing pipeline systems. ISO 15589-2:2012 is applicable to all types of seawater and seabed environments encountered in submerged conditions and on risers up to mean water level.

ISO 3183:2012 specifies requirements for the manufacture of two product specification levels (PSL 1 and PSL 2) of seamless and welded steel pipes for use in pipeline transportation systems in the petroleum and natural gas industries. ISO 3183:2012 is not applicable to cast pipe.

ISO 21809-1:2011 specifies requirements of plant-applied external three-layer polyethylene- and polypropylene-based coatings for corrosion protection of welded and seamless steel pipes for pipeline transportation systems in the petroleum and natural gas industries in accordance with ISO 13623. Pipes coated in accordance with ISO 21809-1:2011 are considered suitable for further protection by means of cathodic protection.

ISO 21809-5:2010 specifies the requirements for qualification, application, testing and handling of materials required for the application of reinforced concrete coating externally to either bare pipe or pre-coated pipe for use in pipeline transportation systems for the petroleum and natural gas industries as defined in ISO 13623. ISO 21809-5:2010 is applicable to concrete thicknesses of 25 mm or greater.
