Full title and description

St ISO 30003-2009 — Ships and marine technology — Ship recycling management systems — Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of ship recycling management. This International Standard specifies principles and requirements for certification bodies and other conformity assessment bodies that audit and certify ship recycling management systems (SRMS), with reference to management system standards such as ISO 30000.

Abstract

ISO 30003:2009 sets out the principles and detailed requirements for organisations that perform audits and issue certification of ship recycling management systems. It covers competence, structural and process requirements for certification bodies, requirements for auditors (education, experience and training), audit planning and conduct, and documentation and information management needed to provide credible certification of ship recycling management systems. The standard is intended to be used together with SRMS specifications (for example ISO 30000) and general conformity-assessment guidance.

Scope

ISO 30003:2009 contains principles and requirements for bodies providing the audit and certification of ship recycling management systems. It is intended to ensure that certification of SRMS is carried out consistently, impartially and competently and may be used in conjunction with management-system specifications such as ISO 30000 (management-system requirements for ship recycling facilities). The standard addresses requirements applicable to certification bodies, auditor competence and training, audit processes (initial, surveillance and recertification) and documentation.

Key topics and requirements

• Principles and general requirements for certification bodies (impartiality, confidentiality, independence and openness).
• Structural and resource requirements for certification organisations (organisational structure, responsibilities, records and management system requirements for the certification body).
• Competence, education, experience and training requirements for auditors — including minimum relevant experience, documented training plans, and lead auditor maintenance (e.g., minimum on-site audit days per year).
• Audit process requirements: audit planning, determination of audit time, on-site audit conduct, reporting, corrective actions, surveillance and recertification cycles.
• Information and documentation requirements for certification activities, including records, certificates, scope statements and public information about certified organisations.
• Interfaces with related conformity-assessment and auditing guidance and standards (references and alignment with documents such as ISO 30000 and relevant ISO/IEC 17021 / ISO 19011 guidance).

Typical use and users

Primary users are conformity assessment bodies and certification bodies that wish to audit and certify ship recycling management systems, and accreditation bodies that assess those certification bodies. Secondary users include ship recycling facilities, shipowners, regulators, port authorities and supply‑chain stakeholders who rely on certified SRMS for assurance of safe and environmentally sound recycling practices. Auditors and training organisations also use the standard to define competence and training curricula.

Related standards

Key related documents include ISO 30000:2009 (Ship recycling management systems — Specifications for management systems for safe and environmentally sound ship recycling facilities), audit and accreditation standards and guidance such as ISO/IEC 17021 (requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of management systems) and ISO 19011 (guidelines for auditing management systems). The standard superseded the PAS/DD precursor (ISO/PAS 30003:2008).

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 30003:2009 specifies requirements for bodies that audit and certify ship recycling management systems — i.e., it defines how certification of SRMS should be carried out to be competent, impartial and credible.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers principles for certification bodies, organisational and resource requirements, auditor competence (education, work and audit experience, training), the audit process (initial, surveillance and recertification), documentation and information management and interfaces with SRMS specifications such as ISO 30000.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Certification bodies and accreditation organisations use it to design and assess SRMS certification programmes; auditors and training providers use it to set competence criteria; ship recycling facilities, shipowners, regulators and stakeholders use it as a reference for what certification of SRMS should involve.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 30003:2009 is the published edition from 2009 and, according to the ISO catalogue record, was last reviewed and confirmed within ISO’s review cycle (status shown as published/confirmed). Users should check the ISO catalogue or national standards bodies for the very latest status before procurement.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 30003 is part of the ISO 30000 series addressing ship recycling management systems. ISO 30000:2009 provides management-system specifications for ship recycling facilities, while ISO 30003:2009 provides requirements for bodies auditing and certifying such systems.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: ship recycling, SRMS, certification body, auditor competence, audit, conformity assessment, ISO 30000, ISO 30003.
