This International Standard specifies a risk assessment method that protects the marine environment from the potential negative impacts of biocidally active substances used intentionally in the anti-fouling system on ships applied during its service time. This method can also be modified for use in freshwater environments. This International Standard does not specify a specific test method or evaluate the hazard and toxicity or usage restrictions of certain substances. This also does not provide an efficacy evaluation method of the anti-fouling system using a specific substance. The following are not covered by this International Standard: - 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 (scrapping); - use in anti-fouling systems intended to control harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens in ships" ballast water and sediments as according to the International Convention for The Control and Management of Ships" Ballast Water and Sediments, 2004; - application to fishing gear, buoys and floats used for the purpose of fishing, equipment used in fisheries and aquaculture (nets / cages etc); - small test patches of anti-fouling systems on ships for the purposes of research and development of anti-fouling 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.
