本文件为使用电解法的压载水管理系统的设计者提供了要求和建议，以记录设备整个生命周期内的风险评估和风险降低过程，并支持管理部门和船级社批准其在船舶上使用。具体而言，本文件提供了基本术语、原则和方法，以识别并随后将使用电解法设计BWM时的危险风险降至最低。它规定了按照ISO？12100指南进行风险评估和降低风险的程序。 考虑的风险包括:人类健康和安全；与船上条件有关的海洋环境；以及船舶的安装、运行、维护和结构完整性。 本文件不涉及使用电解法对生物废物管理系统产生或使用的活性物质、相关化学品和/或其他化学品的腐蚀效应、毒性和生态毒性进行风险评估的方法，该方法由IMO GESAMP压载水工作组按照文件IMO GESAMP，使用活性物质评估压载水管理系统的方法。 本文件不涉及与BWMS报废处置相关的风险。

This document provides requirements and recommendations for designers of BWMS using electrolytic methods to document the risk assessment and risk reduction process over the lifecycle of the equipment, and to support its approval for use on ships by administrations and classification societies. Specifically, this document provides basic terminology, principles and a methodology to identify and subsequently minimize the risk of hazards in the design of BWMS using electrolytic methods. It specifies the procedures for risk assessment and risk reduction following the guidance in ISO 12100. Risks considered include: human health and safety; marine environment related to conditions on board; and ship installation, operation, maintenance and structural integrity. This document does not address the methodology for the risk assessment of corrosion effects, toxicity and ecotoxicity of active substances, relevant chemicals and/or other chemicals generated or used by BWMS using electrolytic methods, which is evaluated by the IMO GESAMP-Ballast Water Working Group as prescribed in the document IMO GESAMP, Methodology for the Evaluation of Ballast Water Management Systems using Active Substances^[26]. This document does not address risks associated with the end of life disposition of the BWMS.
