This standard is intended to provide legal and planning security for development, design, implementation, operation and decommissioning of offshore wind farms within the ambit of the Marine Facilities Ordinance (SeeAnlV). It is dynamic and integrative in nature, so that it will be possible to take account of new knowledge and developments as well as the need to incorporate standards that have not been included before in order to achieve standardisation of an overall system. A range of representatives from expert bodies and institutions have been involved in developing this standard, and played a constructive role in its development. The representatives of the classification societies Det Norske Veritas (DNV) and Germanischer Lloyd (GL) provided expert accompaniment for the process. Representatives of the business and scientific communities made valuable contributions, so that overall it has been possible to create a solid basis for constructive cooperation in terms of system security in order to protect the marine environment and maintain the safety and efficiency of navigation
