Accreditation for ISO/IEC 30000:2009 Ship Recycling Management System – SRMS
ISO/IEC 30000:2009 delineates the requirements for a management system that enables a ship recycling facility to establish and implement procedures, policies, and objectives to undertake safe and environmentally sound ship recycling operations in accordance with national and international standards. The management system requirements consider the pertinent legal requirements, safety standards, and environmental elements that the ship recycling facility must identify and comply with to carry out safe and environmentally sound ship recycling.
This International Standard applies to the entire process, including accepting a ship for recycling by the facility, assessing the hazards on board the ship, identifying and complying with any applicable notification and import requirements for ships to be recycled, carrying out the recycling process in a safe and environmentally sound manner, conducting required training, ensuring the availability of social amenities (e.g., first aid, health checks, food and beverages), storage and processing of materials and wastes from the ship, waste stream and recycling stream management, including contractual agreements, and documentation controls for the process, including any applicable notification of the final disposal of the vessel.
This International Standard is applicable to any ship recycling facility that wishes to establish, implement, maintain, and improve a safe and environmentally sound management system for the recycling of ships, assure itself of conformity with its stated safe and environmentally sound management policy, demonstrate conformity with this International Standard by making a self-determination and self-declaration, or seeking confirmation of its conformance by parties having an interest in the facility such as customers, or seeking confirmation of its self-declaration by a party external to the organization, or seeking certification/registration of its management system by an external organization.
