Offshore plants should be managed at a high level of safety condition. Because the offshore plant has cramped space and has difficult access when a fire occurred, a fire can be critical to the plants. LED lighting can reduce the risk of fire by its lower energy consume suitable to intrinsic safety and lower heat radiation that can reduce the possibility of ignition. Also LED has a long lifetime. Though LED luminaire has various advantages for offshore plants, an international standard for the luminaire has not provided because it is new technology. Because there is no international and domestic standard specially provided for the LED luminaire, a guideline is required for developing the LED light and for the future establishment of an international standard. This study was conducted to develop the guideline for LED luminaire for offshore plants. Firstly, relevant standards were analyzed for the guideline. Then we found that there are editorial differences between international standards and domestic standards. So the guideline was developed based on international version and the differences between the domestic and international standard were provided to let Korean developers recognize the differences.
