It explains the underlying principles of ISO 30000 and describes the intent, typical inputs, processes and typical outputs for each requirement of ISO 30000 to aid understanding and implementation of ISO 30000.

ISO/PAS 30004:2011 does not create additional requirements to those specified in ISO 30000, nor does it prescribe mandatory approaches to the implementation of ISO 30000.

In order to ensure as far as possible that vessels are recycled in a safe and environmentally sound manner, shipowners should carefully consider ship recycling facilities to which they wish to sell their ships, and it is therefore important that ship recycling facilities provide certain objective information to assist in this selection process. Ship recycling facilities that are unwilling to provide this information on request by the shipowner should therefore not be considered.

Since the shipowner may not be able to verify the information given, it is the sole responsibility of the ship recycling facilities to ensure that it is correct. However, it is important that shipowners be critical in their consideration of any such information, and should not consider facilities that publish obviously false information, or those where other data make it apparent that the information supplied does not reflect reality.

ISO/PAS 30002:2009 applies to the process of selecting ship recycling facility and the use of pro forma contract only and does not consider other aspects of ship recycling. Such aspects are covered by other standards of the ISO 30000 series.

ISO/PAS 30002:2009 is applicable to any shipowner who wishes to:

1. select a ship recycling facility in order to carry out safe and environmentally sound ship recycling,
2. demonstrate conformity with the ISO 30000 series,
3. assure themselves that the ship recycling facility chosen is in conformity with the ISO 30000 series.

It is intended to be used by shipowners when selecting a ship recycling facility as guidelines only.

— personal circumstances and academic background,

— previous work experiences, knowledge and skills,

— short, medium and long-term ambitions,

— changing education and training requirements resulting from continual industry evolution,

— shifting personal interests, attitudes, abilities and goals.

This document helps identify potential jobs within the maritime industry, on board and ashore, in order to provide alternative career paths.

It also provides the necessary information for interested parties to grant authorization, effectively evaluate and audit training, supporting the IMO Requirements, Section 3.

It specifies the training requirements for the Level 1 controlled environment education and technical training for personnel certified by a manufacturer or an authorized service provider to carry out maintenance, thorough examination, operational testing, overhaul and repair of lifeboats (including free-fall lifeboats) and rescue boats (including fast rescue boats), launching appliances and release gear.

The Level 1 training is split into two Stages, both covered in this document:

— Stage 1, Service Technician technical controlled environment education and training, has five modules that consist of classroom-based theory followed by practical sessions. The five modules encompass the scope and range of technical knowledge and skills required to assume type specific design coverage of survival craft, release systems, davits and winches. The modules focus on supporting the requirements in part of the IMO Requirements, paragraphs 8.1, 8.2.1.1-8.2.1.6, 8.2.2, and 8.2.3.

— Stage 2, Service Technician technical controlled environment experience and assessment, where candidates undertake a minimum of four supervised scenarios-based practical exercises assessments covering the range of type specific complete systems for which they will be certified.

This document is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO/PAS 23678-1, ISO/PAS 23678-2 and ISO/PAS 23678-4.

It also provides the necessary information for interested parties to grant authorization, effectively evaluate and audit training, supporting the IMO Requirements, Section 3.

It specifies the initial training programme for personnel certified by a manufacture or by an authorized service provider to carry out maintenance, thorough examination, operational testing, overhaul and repair of lifeboats (including free-fall lifeboats) and rescue boats (including fast rescue boats), launching appliances and release gear. This document specifies the training requirements for Initial Service Technician training only.
