scope:

This standard contains principles and requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of Ship
Recycling Management Systems according to Management System standards and standards such as
ISO 30000.
Certification of Ship Recycling Management Systems is a third party conformity assessment activity (see clause 5.5. of ISO/IEC 17000). Bodies performing this activity are therefore third party conformity assessment bodies named in this standard as 'certification body/bodies'.
NOTE 1 Certification of a Ship recycling management system is sometimes also called registration, and certification bodies are sometimes called registrars.
NOTE 2 Certification body may be nongovernmental or governmental (with or without regulatory authority).
NOTE 3 This standard may be used as a criteria document for accreditation or peer assessment or other audit processes.
