The reporter learned today that the International Organization for Standardization recently issued the international standard “Commissioning and Testing Procedures for Ballast Water Management Systems for Ships and Offshore Technology Ballast Water Management Systems by Electrolysis Method”. The standard was developed with the participation of experts from the United States, Germany, Canada, Switzerland, Norway, Denmark and other countries, led by China. Alien organisms carried in ships' ballast water are one of the important ways for marine life to invade and seriously threaten marine ecological safety. A ballast water management system is a key device to kill these invasive organisms. Its killing effect depends on the design performance of the product itself and the level of on-site commissioning after installation. The standard regulates the technical requirements for commissioning and testing of electrolyzed ballast water management systems, stipulates that the system runs for no less than 60 minutes, the discharge sampling volume is not less than 1 cubic meter, and verifies compliance with the standards for 50 microns and 10 microns to 50 microns to ensure that they meet the emission standards of international conventions, and provides a unified and scientific ballast water management system debugging test procedure and acceptance basis for global shipowners, shipyards, equipment manufacturers and industry authorities. Up to now, China has taken the lead in formulating 3 international standards related to ballast water management systems, covering key aspects such as system design and commissioning, which play an important role in curbing the spread of harmful aquatic organisms across the ocean through ballast water and helping protect the global marine ecological environment.
