Installation Manual 
The installation manual provides a comprehensible and plausible representation of the sche 
duled work processes, including the technical boundary conditions, starting with the loading 
of the components onto the transport vessels at the base port (last port before the installation 
location) up to the completion of the implementation, such as the submarine cable feed 
through into the so-called “J-tube” of the offshore wind turbine or substation platform. It ser 
ves, in particular, to present and test the implementation schedule of the structure. 
Implementation Planning 
In general, the implementation planning phase starts once the installation manual has been 
completed. It supplies documents according to which processes are carried out and the com 
ponents to be implemented constructed and/or installed. The level of detail of the implemen 
tation plan complies with the available certifications and the certified processes, I. e. installa 
tion vessels, for example, operating within the framework of their operation regulations (e. g. 
class - certificate) do not have to be documented or inspected separately. 
Implementation Planning 
During the implementation planning phase, the preceding design plan (construction drawings 
and construction documents), resp. the approval plan must have been worked through in 
enough detail to allow the construction project to be completed. The implementation plans 
include all data necessary to erect or to rebuild the structure. Normally, for all trades that ma 
nufacture parts in advance at permanent manufacturing plants, the implementation planning 
phase is followed by a workshop planning or an assembly planning phase. 
Incident 
An incident or an emergency is an acute danger to human beings or material assets and/or an 
acute danger or disturbance, in particular of technical processes and infrastructures, that is 
relevant to preserving the functionality of the structure and that disturbs or interrupts the re 
gular sequence of operations. 
Independent Third Parties 
Independent third parties in terms of this standard are: the appointed inspector him/herself or 
appropriately suitable inspectors as well as the certified inspector. 
Initial Audit 
The initial audit is intended to provide a meaningful, general view of the extent to which the 
management system has been incorporated into the implementation currently under conside 
ration. Furthermore, the technical qualification of the operation is to be verified with regard to 
the upcoming task. 
Inspection 
Controlling measure conducted by in-house staff or by qualified agents in order to ascertain 
and to evaluate the actual state of the facility to be inspected (system, technical medium, ob 
ject, etc.). 
Isolated Operation 
Operation mode of the power units when using the standby power system or the emergency 
power supply. In this case, the voltage and frequency are autonomously controlled. 
J-Tube 
Designation used in offshore engineering for a cable tube that features a bend at the bottom 
end in order to deflect the cable in a vertical direction along the foundation structure. Special 
funnels are provided to thread the cable into these tubes.
