scope:

As concern grows for identifying essential elements required for a ship recycling facility, shipowners, ship recyclers, governments, concerned bodies and other stakeholders are increasingly looking for guidance in what is acceptable in implementing standards for ship recycling facilities. There is recognition that the present levels of death and injury, damage to the environment, lack of sanitation and provision of basic welfare needs are unacceptable. However, there is a lack of clear guidance on what is the minimum standard required. This International Standard aims to identify the principal elements required for compliance with ISO 30000. It not only gives guidance on how to design the management system in compliance with ISO 30000, but also leads the designer or auditor into what the practical item's consequences should be.This International Standard provides generic advice on the application of ISO 30000:2009. It explains the underlying principles of ISO 30000 and describes the intent, typical inputs, processes and typical outputs, for each requirement of ISO 30000. This is to aid in the understanding and implementation of ISO 30000. This International Standard does not create additional requirements to those specified in ISO 30000, nor does it prescribe mandatory approaches to the implementation of ISO 30000.
