Scope

This document provides requirements and recommendations for designers of electrolysis-based ballast water management systems, to document the risk assessment and risk reduction processes during the equipment's lifecycle, and to support their approval by regulatory authorities and classification societies for use on ships. The document specifically provides basic terminology, principles, and methods to identify and minimize the risks posed by the design of electrolysis-based ballast water management systems. The document specifies the procedures for conducting risk assessment and risk reduction in accordance with the guidance of GB/T 15706-2012. The risks considered include: personnel health and safety, the marine environment of ships, and the installation, operation, maintenance, and structural integrity of ships. This document does not address the risk assessment methods for the corrosive effects, toxicity, and ecotoxicity of active substances, related chemicals, and/or other chemicals produced or used by electrolysis-based ballast water management systems. These risks are evaluated by the IMO Joint Group of Experts on the Scientific Aspects of Marine Environmental Protection (GESAMP) - Ballast Water Working Group (BWWG) in accordance with the IMO GESAMP "Evaluation Methods for Ballast Water Management Systems Using Active Substances". This document does not address the risks associated with the disposal of ballast water management systems at the end of their lifecycle.
