Marking pipes on ships and offshore sites is of the utmost importance to ensure safety at all times. Accidents, injuries and damage to machines and equipment can be caused by the fact your crew is unaware of the substances that flow through pipes. The ISO 14726 standard (International Standard Organization), specifies the principle colours for the identification of substances in pipes. Also, ISO 14726 specifies additional colour codes that allow a more detailed identification of the substance.
You must mark pipes in the following manner:
