What is ISO 13617 - Shipboard incinerators about?
ISO 13617 covers the design, manufacture, performance, operation, functioning and testing of
incinerators intended to incinerate garbage and other shipboard wastes generated during a ship's
normal service (i.e. maintenance, operational, domestic and cargo-associated wastes).
Note1: ISO 13617 is applicable to incinerator plants with capabilities up to 4 000 kW per unit.:
Note2: ISO 13617 is not applicable to systems on special incinerator ships, e.g. for burning industrial wastes such as chemicals, manufacturing residues, etc.
Note3: ISO 13617 does not address the electrical supply to the unit, nor the foundation connections and stack connections.
Note4: ISO 13617 provides emission requirements in Annex A, location requirements in Annex B, and flue gas temperature requirements in Annex D. Recommendations for incinerators integrated with heat recovery units are given in Annex C.
Note5: The activities associated with ISO 13617 can involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment.
Note6: ISO 13617 does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of ISO 13617 to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
