The standards for security cameras in the oil and gas industry are essential to ensure the safety, security, and regulatory compliance of facilities. These standards cover various aspects of camera systems, including design, installation, operation, and maintenance.
Key Standards
ISA-TR12.13.01-2013 - Security Technologies for Industrial Automation and Control Systems
This standard, developed by the International Society of Automation (ISA), provides guidance on implementing security technologies for industrial automation and control systems, which may include security camera systems.
IEC 62443 series - Industrial communication networks - Network and system security
The IEC 62443 series, developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), addresses the security of industrial automation and control systems. Specific parts of this series, such as IEC 62443-3-3, cover system security requirements and security levels, which can be applicable to security camera systems.
API RP 14F - Recommended Practice for Design and Installation of Electrical Systems for Offshore Production Platforms
The American Petroleum Institute (API) publishes this recommended practice, which includes guidelines for the design and installation of electrical systems on offshore production platforms. It may include considerations for security camera systems.
ISO 27001 - Information Security Management Systems
Although not specific to oil and gas, ISO 27001 provides a framework for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an information security management system. This standard can be applied to ensure the security of information captured and stored by security camera systems.
NEC (National Electrical Code)
The NEC, published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), provides requirements for the installation of electrical systems, including security camera systems, in hazardous locations commonly found in the oil and gas industry.
IEC 60079 series - Explosive Atmospheres
This series of standards, including IEC 60079-0 and IEC 60079-15, provides requirements for electrical equipment used in explosive atmospheres. Security cameras installed in hazardous locations may need to comply with these standards.
