8.2 Mechanism for ensuring the establishment and effective use of inspection, monitoring and enforcement provisions

 Under regulation 15.3 of the annex to the Convention, each Party shall establish a mechanism for ensuring the establishment and effective use of inspection, monitoring and enforcement provisions, including powers of entry and sampling. Such a mechanism may include an audit scheme to be carried out by the Competent Authority(ies) or an organization recognized by the Competent Authority(ies). If the Party establishes an audit scheme based on the national law and regulations, the Party should make available relevant information on the audit scheme in advance of any audit, including, but not limited to, the following:

  • the frequency of the audit: at least one audit should be conducted, in the middle of the validity period of the DASR; and
  • the audit process: this may include the submission by the Ship Recycling Facility of written reports containing summaries of ship recycling activities and interviews with representatives or managers of the Ship Recycling Facility and site inspections.

 The Competent Authority(ies) should establish procedures for conducting follow-up site inspections at the Ship Recycling Facility as necessary, after the DASR has been issued.
