Description / Abstract:
This part of ISO 13073 specifies a risk assessment method that
protects the marine environment from the potential negative impacts
of biocidally active substances that are intentionally used in the
anti-fouling system 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 a specific test method
for evaluating the hazard and toxicity or usage restrictions of
certain substances. This also does not provide an
efficacy-evaluation method for an anti-fouling system using a
specific substance.
The following are not covered by this part of ISO 13073:
— the risk assessment of biocidally active substances in
anti-fouling systems during their application and removal during
vessel maintenance and repair, new building or ship recycling;
— use of anti-fouling 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;
— 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);
— test patches of anti-fouling systems on ships for the purpose
of research and development of antifouling products;
— the assessment of risk of biocidally active substances in
cases of accidental releases, such as spillage during ocean
transport or releases into the sea from rivers and/or coastal
facilities.
