Description / Abstract:
This part of ISO 13073 specifies a risk assessment method that
protects the marine environment from the potential negative impacts
of anti-fouling systems intentionally using biocidally active
substances applied to a ship during its service life. This method
can also be modified for use in freshwater environments.
This part of ISO 13073 does not provide specific test methods
for evaluating the hazards nor recommends usage restrictions for
certain anti-fouling systems. It also does not provide an
efficacy-evaluation method of the anti-fouling system using a
specific substance.
The following uses of anti-fouling systems are also not covered
by this part of ISO 13073:
— use at the application and removal stages, during new
building, vessel maintenance and repair or ship recycling;
— use of systems intended to control harmful aquatic organisms
and pathogens in ships' ballast water and sediments according to
the International Convention for The Control and Management of
Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments, 2004;
— use of anti-fouling systems applied to fishing gear, buoys and
floats used for the purpose of fishing, and to equipment used in
fisheries and aquaculture (nets/cages, etc.); and
— test patches of anti-fouling systems on ships and small panels
for the purposes of research and development of anti-fouling
systems.
