In the field of special containers—particularly those used on offshore platforms, vessels, and marine engineering facilities—compliance is not just a prerequisite for delivery, but a foundation for operational safety and system reliability. At TLS, we specialize in providing highly customized functional container solutions for global energy, petrochemical, and offshore clients. We understand that every detail must align with stringent international standards.
Core Compliance Framework
All offshore containers must meet the general safety requirements outlined by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the SOLAS Convention (International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea). These regulations cover critical aspects such as lifting, stacking, fire protection, and emergency egress.
The ISO 10855 series provides technical specifications for offshore containers used in lifting and transportation, including structural strength, drop tests, and pad eye configuration. This standard is widely recognized across international offshore projects. In addition, TLS supports classification approvals from major societies such as ABS, LR, BV, and CCS to ensure compliance during sea transport and offshore deployment.
Special Requirements for Pressurized Explosion-Proof Modules
For functional containers used in Zone 1 or Zone 2 hazardous areas—such as electrical control rooms, testing cabins, or equipment enclosures—TLS offers pressurized explosion-proof modules certified to ATEX and IECEx standards. These certifications, accepted across the EU and globally, govern not only electrical components but also wiring systems, explosion-proof lighting, grounding, pressure relief, and alarm systems.
To achieve a higher level of system integrity, TLS incorporates IEC 60079-13:2020 into the design of pressurized rooms. This internationally recognized standard defines technical principles for constructing and operating pressurized enclosures in explosive atmospheres. It addresses overpressure maintenance, air tightness, emergency shutdown logic, and interlock protections. By embedding this standard into our design philosophy, TLS ensures that each module performs reliably even in scenarios such as fan failure, pressure loss, or gas intrusion.
Additional Relevant Standards
Depending on project scope and region, TLS solutions can incorporate a range of other industry-specific or regional standards. These include the EN 60079 series for general explosion-proof design, NORSOK standards commonly adopted in Nordic offshore projects, and the IBC Code for containers storing hazardous chemicals. Fire safety classifications such as A60 or B15 are often required for accommodation units, control rooms, or emergency shelters.
TLS Compliance Integration Capabilities
From lifting and transport containers, to intelligent pressurized systems with gas monitoring and automation, to offshore accommodation modules—TLS delivers with a focus on total compliance. We not only design and manufacture to required standards but also assist with third-party testing, documentation, and certification processes to ensure seamless project approval.
Conclusion
In offshore environments, safety, compliance, and reliability are non-negotiable. TLS remains committed to delivering containerized solutions that meet international certifications and adapt to the most demanding offshore conditions.

When it comes to offshore containers used in the oil and gas industry, DNV2.7-1 is a widely recognized standard. However, selecting the right paint standard for these containers can be challenging. Two options to consider are C3 and C5 standards.
The C3 standard is suitable for containers used in general marine environments, with coatings having medium durability and anti-corrosion properties. The minimum paint thickness should be 75μm. On the other hand, the C5 standard is suitable for containers used in highly corrosive environments, with coatings having high durability and anti-corrosion properties. The minimum paint thickness should be 150μm.
It's important to consider the specific usage environment and requirements when selecting the paint standard for DNV2.7-1 compliant containers. For general marine environments, the C3 standard is typically sufficient. However, if the container will be exposed to highly corrosive environments, the C5 standard should be used.
Proper surface preparation, primer application, intermediate coats, and topcoat thickness are also crucial factors in ensuring the longevity and durability of the paint on DNV2.7-1 compliant containers.
In conclusion, choosing the right paint standard is essential to ensure the safety and longevity of DNV2.7-1 compliant containers. By understanding the differences between C3 and C5 standards and considering the specific usage environment, you can make an informed decision and select the appropriate standard for your container.

As defined by the International Maritime Organization, an offshore container is a "portable unit specially designed for repeated use in the transport of goods or equipment between fixed and/or floating offshore installations and ships. Known in the offshore oil and gas community as "slippery rails "as they are often used to transport large assemblies to drilling and production rigs.
DNV's certification standards 2.7-1, 2 and 3 are a globally recognized set of certification standards for offshore containers and marine service modules. The certification standards relate to the certification of all types of marine containers as transport units. The three typical stages of transportation are: shore-based residency (eg, forklifts), supply vessels, and loading and unloading offshore facilities. The certification standards include design requirements related to all three phases.
There are five basic steps for DNV approval and certification:
1. Certification of our (or our client's designation) written welding procedures, laboratory tests and welder qualifications
2. Evaluate and approve our primary device/skid/frame designs
3. Audit/Survey during initial welding start-up
4. Production：Audits/investigations during equipment manufacturing
5. Prototype testing：For "type" approval (type approval means a series of identical units are manufactured over a period)
