ISO 30000:2009 specifies requirements for a management
system to enable a ship recycling facility to develop and implement procedures,
policies and objectives in order to be able to undertake safe and
environmentally sound ship recycling operations in accordance with national and
international standards. The management system requirements take into account
the relevant legal requirements, safety standards and environmental elements
that the ship recycling facility needs to identify and comply with in order to
carry out safe and environmentally sound ship recycling. ISO 31000 is a family
of standards relating to risk management codified by the International
Organization for Standardization. The purpose of ISO 31000:2009 is to provide
principles and generic guidelines on risk management. ISO 31000 seeks to
provide a universally recognized paradigm for practitioners and companies
employing risk management processes to replace the myriad of existing
standards, methodologies and paradigms that differed between industries,
subject matters and regions. The policies stated in this management system
highlights the procedures which adhere to domestic and international standards
complying with health, safety, welfare Social Amenities and Environmental
requirements- as per IMO Convention/ISO 3000:2009. It is important to
understand that ISO 30000:2009 deals with the entire process which includes
several steps. The focus of this certification is environment protection
therefore it includes all the aspects of recycling process. It ensures that the
waste is also taken care of as per the required standards. This certification
helps in the promotion of business and the certified organization can expect

and import requirements for ships to be recycled; carrying out the recycling
process in a safe and environmentally sound manner; conducting required

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.

environmentally sound management system for the recycling of ships,
