NORSOK R-002

This standard will become mandatory for all offshore units in Norway in 2015. NORSOK R-002 sets a completely new safety standard for lifesaving appliances.

Nadiro is proud to be the first manufacturer, which has delivered systems built for this standard, including:

• Full redundancy of our winch and Drop-In-Ball™ hook systems, including two disc brakes and two independent hook release mechanisms
  
• Pull'n'Go handle enabling launch of the system in an emergency, even with multiple failures and no electrical power
  
• Ventilation and dehumidification of the lifeboat and Boat-In-A-Box™ environments
  
• Winch hoisting with fully loaded boat 
• Higher structural safety factors calculated according to NORSOK R-002
  
• Mode-selector determines system functionality in service and emergency modes
  
• System prepared for easy maintenance including dedicated service doors and lifting procedures
  
• Diagnosis system eases maintenance and displays system status

Nadiro builds NORSOK R-002 systems in compliance with the EU Machinery Directive and tests the systems in excess of SOLAS requirements and NORSOK R-002. These tests include endurance test on both our Drop-In-Balls™ and winch brakes together with simultaneous release of the Drop-In-Balls™ in extreme angles.
