API STD 17O:2014

This standard addresses the requirements for the use of high integrity pressure protection systems (HIPPS) for subsea applications. API 14C, IEC 61508, and IEC 61511 specify the requirements for onshore, topsides, and subsea safety instrumented systems (SIS) and are applicable to HIPPS, which are designed to autonomously isolate downstream facilities from overpressure situations. This document integrates these requirements in order to address the specific needs of subsea production. These requirements cover the HIPPS pressure sensors, logic solver, shutdown valves, and ancillary devices including testing, communications, and monitoring subsystems
