Abstract: Article is analytical review of the regulatory framework of requirements to the performance characteristics of material in relation to the conditions of their operation in the offshore structures in arctic conditions. For review, international standards were used. Based on review of different types of standards the analysis of information on material requirements was performed and divided into two parts: requirements for concrete and requirements for steel. There are different approaches to the assignment of material requirements in standards. Features of the operation of different structural parts and environments that affect structure are not fully taken into account when selecting material characteristics in each document. Constant references to the other regulations do not give a general idea of how to choose characteristics based on given operating conditions. It was also noticed that some of the standards give information about the use of material with some characteristics in certain conditions or in certain parts of structure. The use of various materials in the construction of offshore structures in different countries is complicated by the availability of different approaches to the assignment of material requirements. In this paper, the main regulatory documents that can be applied to the design of engineering structures on the shelf of the Arctic seas were considered.
