Description: This document summarises a study undertaken by MSL Engineering Limited for the Health 
and Safety Executive to establish component resistance statistics (means and biases) 
pertaining to API RP2A (WSD and LRFD versions) and ISO 13819-2. The components 
considered are: tubular members, tubular joints, grouted pile-to-sleeve connections and 
foundation piles. 
The purpose of the study was to provide input to a wider initiative leading to the calibration of 
environmental load factors for use in the NW European Regional Annex to ISO 13819-2.
