BR / ge / This standard comprises a number of items with too specific issues. These may deviate attention from some relevant specs, which should be high level ones aimed at establishing more general boundaries and conditions. / Review the standard by removing those too specific issues and bringing more attention on the high levels and general conditions. Those specific items may be moved to annexes.
BR / 1 / First paragraph / te / (i) BOP is also used as safety device to control completion and workover operations, not only drilling;
(ii) It seems unnecessary mentioning that diverter is not control equipment but it is a part of the BOP control. This suggestion also agrees with the first proposed change, more generic;
(iii) It seems unnecessary explaining here that: Control systems for drilling well control equipment typically employ stored energy in the form of pressurized hydraulic fluid (power fluid) to operate (open and close) the BOP stack
components. Each operation of a BOP or other well component is referred to as a control function. The control
system equipment and circuitry vary generally in accordance with the application and environment. / (i) Review the first phase as: This International Standard establishes design standards for control systems used on rig safety equipment employed on combating kick activities, particularly, BOPs – blowout preventers and diverters;
(ii) Exclude: Although diverters are not considered well control devices, their controls are often incorporated as part of the BOP control system. Thus, control systems for diverter equipment are included herein;
(iii) Exclude: Control systems for drilling well control equipment typically employ stored energy in the form of pressurized hydraulic fluid (power fluid) to operate (open and close) the BOP stack components. Each operation of a BOP or other well component is referred to as a control function. The control system equipment and circuitry vary generally in accordance with the application and environment.
BR / 1 / 1st paragraph / ed / “... that are used to control (BOPs (blowout preventers) and associated ...” / We suggest eliminating one parenthesis
BR / 1 / Fourth paragraph / te / It is well known what are direct hydraulic control systems but discrete controls may be subjected to other interpretations. The word discrete seems to refer to single components, such as a shear seal valve, a spm valve a solenoid, etc. Also ISO 13628-6 defines direct hydraulic control as: control method wherein hydraulic pressure is applied through an umbilical line to act directly on a subsea valve actuator. / Review the text replacing discrete by direct.

BR / 1 / Fourth to tenth paragraph, excepted the sixth / These paragraphs are related to subsea bop control systems (3rd paragraph) and they should be shown in these way. / Review the text in a format that can indicate that the 4th to 10th paragraphs, excepting the 6th, are subsea bop control system’s specificities.
BR / 3.6 / First paragraph / te / The BOP annular can also close around other shaper than pipes. / Review the text as: device with a generally toroidal shaped steel-reinforced elastomer packing element that is hydraulically operated to close and seal around any drill pipe size, other shapes tools or to provide full closure of the wellbore.
BR / 3.12 / First paragraph / te / The meaning of the BOP word seems to be more generic than the actual definition is intended. / Generic name given for a safety device integrated to the wellhead comprising of valves used to seal the well off and confine the well fluids in the wellbore.
BR / 3.15 / First paragraph / te / BOP Stack definition needs to be consolidated within the international community. For surface BOP it seems okay but for subsea BOP it is not clear whether or not it also comprises the LMRP, we consider that it does not. / Include a note as following:
Note: For subsea BOPs the BOP Stack comprise an assembly up the interface with LMRP.
BR / 3.33 and 3.34 / definition / ed / “<...> unlatch ...” / We suggest elinating the symbols “<...>”
BR / 3.44 / First paragraph / te / Function has a generic meaning. / Exclude this definition.
BR / 3.54 / First paragraph / te / We consider that the LMRP is not a part of the BOP Stack. / Review the text as: upper section of a two-section subsea BOP system consisting of the hydraulic connector, annular BOP(s), flex/ball joint, riser adapter, flexible choke and kill lines, and subsea control pods.
BR / 3.67 / definition / ed / Potable water definition / We suggest eliminating unnecessary trivial definitions
BR / 3.81 / First paragraph / te / Reliability analysis comprises other meanings than shown here. / Exclude this definition.

CN / 7.5.4 and 9.2.3.1 / Pg 53 and Pg 58 / It is prescribed here: “Seamless accumulators shall be furnished with ASME-U-1A certificates” and “Accumulator shells shall include a permanently affixed serial number”. / China has the largest output of the drilling control system in the world, and now we have the equivalent national standard on pressure vessels. We appreciate that ISO should take into account the interest of China in the international standard developing. We also hope that the use of accumulators conformed to Chinese regulations can be permitted in this standard. It is better to add the related Chinese standards (For example, GB/T 20663–2006“Bladder type accumulators”) into Clause 2, or take the Chinese standard as another alternative reference.
ES / We agree.
