  • ISO 9001 - Services Management

    Quality management systems — Requirements

    ISO 9001:2015 specifies requirements for a quality management system when an organization:

    a) needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, and

    b) aims to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of the system, including processes for improvement of the system and the assurance of conformity to customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.

    All the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 are generic and are intended to be applicable to any organization, regardless of its type or size, or the products and services it provides.

  • ISO 14001 - Environment Safety

    Environmental management systems — Requirements with guidance for use

    ISO 14001:2015 specifies the requirements for an environmental management system that an organization can use to enhance its environmental performance. ISO 14001:2015 is intended for use by an organization seeking to manage its environmental responsibilities in a systematic manner that contributes to the environmental pillar of sustainability.

    ISO 14001:2015 helps an organization achieve the intended outcomes of its environmental management system, which provide value for the environment, the organization itself and interested parties. Consistent with the organization's environmental policy, the intended outcomes of an environmental management system include:

    · enhancement of environmental performance;

    · fulfilment of compliance obligations;

    · achievement of environmental objectives.

    ISO 14001:2015 is applicable to any organization, regardless of size, type and nature, and applies to the environmental aspects of its activities, products and services that the organization determines it can either control or influence considering a life cycle perspective.

  • ISO 45001 - Environment Safety

    Occupational health and safety management systems — Requirements with guidance for use

    ISO 45001:2018 specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system, and gives guidance for its use, to enable organizations to provide safe and healthy workplaces by preventing work-related injury and ill health, as well as by proactively improving its OH&S performance.

    ISO 45001:2018 is applicable to any organization that wishes to establish, implement and maintain an OH&S management system to improve occupational health and safety, eliminate hazards and minimize OH&S risks (including system deficiencies), take advantage of OH&S opportunities, and address OH&S management system nonconformities associated with its activities.

    ISO 45001:2018 helps an organization to achieve the intended outcomes of its OH&S management system. Consistent with the organization's OH&S policy, the intended outcomes of an OH&S management system include:

    a) continual improvement of OH&S performance;

    b) fulfilment of legal requirements and other requirements;

    c) achievement of OH&S objectives.

    ISO 45001:2018 is applicable to any organization regardless of its size, type and activities. It is applicable to the OH&S risks under the organization's control, taking into account factors such as the context in which the organization operates and the needs and expectations of its workers and other interested parties.

    ISO 45001:2018 does not state specific criteria for OH&S performance, nor is it prescriptive about the design of an OH&S management system.

    ISO 45001:2018 enables an organization, through its OH&S management system, to integrate other aspects of health and safety, such as worker wellness/wellbeing.

    ISO 45001:2018 does not address issues such as product safety, property damage or environmental impacts, beyond the risks to workers and other relevant interested parties.

    ISO 45001:2018 can be used in whole or in part to systematically improve occupational health and safety management.

    Ships and marine technology — Energy efficiency — Part 2: Energy efficiency of maritime functional systems

    This document specifies generic measuring and calculation methods to evaluate the energy efficiency of multiple components connected in a functional system installed on board ships, vessels for inland navigation and offshore structures.

    A maritime functional system consists of multiple components integrating multiple functions, working together to achieve an overall goal.

    The purpose of this document is to show how the energy efficiency of various functional systems correspond to the other installations on board of same functionality, thus ensuring that efficient design is rewarded.

    Maritime systems are grouped according to their functionality, to compare the energy efficiency of functional systems which can fulfil the same task on board a ship.

    This document is applicable to only the functional systems for which a unit output can be clearly defined, and which require energy to function.

    This document is applicable to energy consuming functional systems. It does not provide a life cycle assessment (LCA).

    NOTE            An LCA can prove useful when considering systems which consume substances, and which would not meet the functional requirements without the use of these substances. An example is a ballast water management system (BWMS) using active substances (these types are not considered in this document).

    This document is applicable to the following five types of functional systems:

    a)       pressure and flow;

    b)       lighting;

    c)        heating and cooling;

    d)       mechanical;

    e)       propulsion.

    In addition, ISO 20858:2007 establishes certain documentation requirements designed to ensure that the process used in performing the duties described above was recorded in a manner that would permit independent verification by a qualified and authorized agency (if the port facility has agreed to the review). It is not an objective of ISO 20858:2007 to set requirements for a contracting government or designated authority in designating a Recognized Security Organization (RSO), or to impose the use of an outside service provider or other third parties to perform the marine port facility security assessment or security plan if the port facility personnel possess the expertise outlined in this specification. Ship operators may be informed that marine port facilities that use this document meet an industry-determined level of compliance with the ISPS Code.

    Port infrastructure that falls outside the security perimeter of a marine port facility might affect the security of the facility/ship interface.
