The purpose of the Guidelines is to establish relevant requirements for surveys of anti-fouling systems on ships and to ensure that ships and the anti-fouling systems applied comply with the applicable requirements.
The Guidelines are applicable to surveys of ships applying for the issuance and/or endorsement of an anti-fouling system certificate and to surveys of ships applying for the CCS "AFS/AFS+" class notation of the environmental protection sub-elements for green eco-ships.
There are two annexes attached to this document:
