Standards and Certifications: How Functional Containers Meet Global Compliance

9/26/2025

 
In global energy, oil & gas, and chemical projects, a functional container is more than just a steel box. It is a critical platform that houses electrical, control, and safety systems.

However, each region and industry has strict rules and certifications that must be met. For customers, compliance is not optional — it determines whether a project can be delivered and put into operation smoothly. At TLS, we understand this deeply. That’s why international compliance is always our first design principle.

1. DNV 2.7-1: The Offshore Safety Baseline
For offshore oil, gas, and wind projects, containers must meet the DNV 2.7-1 standard. This ensures strength, lifting safety, stacking ability, and impact resistance. In short, it guarantees containers remain stable and safe under rough sea conditions and extreme transport scenarios.

2. IECEx & ATEX: Dual Systems for Explosion-Proof Compliance
In petrochemical plants and hazardous gas zones, explosion protection is essential.
  • IECEx (International System): A global standard for explosion-proof electrical equipment, covering safe use in Zone 1/Zone 2 environments.
  • ATEX (EU Directive): A mandatory requirement for the European market, covering design, manufacturing, and installation.
TLS approach: From cable entries and junction boxes to lighting and fans, we only use certified explosion-proof components and verify installation as a complete system.

3. CSC & ISO: The “Passport” for Global Transport
Beyond safety and explosion-proofing, containers must also meet CSC (International Convention for Safe Containers) and ISO standards to be legally transported worldwide. These certifications ensure that the container can pass port inspections, shipping requirements, and customs without issues.

4. TLS’s Integrated Compliance Strategy
Unlike focusing on one single standard, TLS builds compliance into the entire lifecycle:
  • Structural design follows DNV 2.7-1.
  • Electrical and safety systems meet IECEx/ATEX.
  • Transport readiness complies with CSC/ISO.
  • Manufacturing processes follow ISO 9001 quality management.

This multi-standard, full-process approach ensures that every TLS container is not only delivered but also fully ready for operation anywhere in the world.

From Routing to Interfaces: A Systematic Approach to Cable Management in Functional Containers

9/26/2025

 
When designing and building functional containers, cable management is often overlooked — yet it is one of the most critical factors. Good cable management directly impacts not only the safety and reliability of the equipment but also the ease of maintenance in later stages.

At TLS, based on years of project experience, we treat cable management as a complete engineering system. From routing design to interface sealing, we follow a clear and systematic logic.

1. Planning the Cable Routes
Cable routing is not as simple as connecting point A to point B. Inside a functional container, cables must be arranged so they do not interfere with airflow channels, equipment zones, or maintenance access.
  • Zoned routing: Power cables and signal cables should be separated to avoid electromagnetic interference.
  • Path optimization: Minimize crossings and sharp bends to reduce stress and transmission loss.
  • Maintenance access: Reserve space for future cable additions and repairs without blocking service routes.

2. Cable Trays and Fixing Methods
Cable trays are more than just supports — they ensure the safe and long-term performance of cables.
  • Material choice: Depending on the environment (offshore or chemical plants), galvanized steel, stainless steel, or coated trays may be required.
  • Fixing method: Use weather-resistant ties or metal clamps to prevent loosening or wear caused by vibration.
  • Redundancy: Leave 10–20% spare capacity in trays for future expansion.

3. Bulkhead Penetrations and Sealed Interfaces
The positive pressure and explosion-proof performance of a functional container depend heavily on how cables pass through the container wall.
  • Dedicated cable entries: Cables should be grouped through specific entry points, avoiding random drilling that can break the seal.
  • Sealed glands: In Zone 1/Zone 2 areas, certified explosion-proof glands must be used to block gas intrusion.
  • Protection levels: Select sealing methods according to environmental requirements.

4. Termination and Port Management
The way cables are terminated directly affects overall system stability.
  • Clear labeling: All cables should have unified numbers for easy identification.
  • Organized layout: Terminals should be layered to reduce overlaps and crossings.
  • Service-friendly ports: Frequently used connections should be located near panels or doors for easier maintenance.

5. Systematic and Traceable Management
At TLS, cable management goes beyond installation. We build a complete, traceable system:
  • Design stage: Prepare detailed cable lists and routing diagrams.
  • Manufacturing stage: Apply numbering and perform section-by-section testing.
  • Delivery stage: Provide customers with full cable documentation for future expansion and maintenance.

Conclusion
Cable management is never just a finishing touch — it is a core element of functional container design. With a systematic approach covering routing, trays, interfaces, and documentation, TLS transforms cable management into a controlled and traceable process. This ensures safety, reliability, and convenience throughout the container’s entire lifecycle.

Ensuring Safety in Offshore Oil and Gas Operations: The Role of Fire Suppression Systems in Explosion-Proof Offshore Containers

4/20/2023

 
Explosion-proof offshore containers are an essential part of offshore oil and gas operations. These containers are designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions and prevent explosions from occurring, thereby ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment. One important feature of these containers is the fire suppression system, which is critical in preventing fires from spreading and causing extensive damage.
 
Fire suppression systems in explosion-proof offshore containers are designed to quickly detect and extinguish fires. These systems typically consist of a network of fire detection sensors, which are strategically placed throughout the container. When a fire is detected, the system will trigger an alarm and release the fire suppression agent.
 
The most commonly used fire suppression agents in explosion-proof offshore containers are foam and dry chemical. Foam fire suppression systems are effective at extinguishing fires by smothering the flames and cooling the surface of the material. Dry chemical fire suppression systems, on the other hand, work by interrupting the chemical reaction of the fire, thereby preventing it from spreading.
​
When designing fire suppression systems for explosion-proof offshore containers, there are several factors to consider.
  • First, the system must be able to detect fires quickly and accurately. This is typically achieved through the use of advanced fire detection sensors that can detect even the smallest of fires.
  • Second, the system must be able to release the fire suppression agent quickly and effectively. This is achieved through the use of high-pressure release systems that can quickly distribute the fire suppression agent throughout the container.
  • Finally, the fire suppression system must be designed to withstand the harsh environmental conditions that are typically found in offshore oil and gas operations. This includes extreme temperatures, high humidity, and exposure to saltwater.
 
In conclusion, fire suppression systems are an essential part of explosion-proof offshore containers. These systems are designed to quickly detect and extinguish fires, thereby ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment. When designing these systems, it is important to consider factors such as fire detection, release systems, and environmental conditions to ensure their effectiveness. By incorporating these features, explosion-proof offshore containers can provide a safe and reliable environment for offshore oil and gas operations.
