Safe-for-hot work and Safe-for-entry criteria
As per Article 15(2)(d), the ship recycling company provides evidence that the ship recycling facility is capable of establishing, maintaining and monitoring of the safe-for-hot work and safe-for-entry criteria throughout the ship recycling process.
Evidence attached to the application file  ( 17 )
Safe-for-hot work
Safe-for-entry conditions
( 1 )   See e.g. paragraph 3 in Section 3.4.1 of IMO guidelines, Resolution MEPC.210(63), page 24.

( 3 )   At the time of application.
( 4 )   The figure should be documented, e.g. via official confirmations of completion of recycling of ships recycled that year, indicating LDT of the ships. As per Article 32 of the EU SRR, the figure is calculated as ‘the sum of the weight of ships expressed in LDT that have been recycled in a given year in that facility. The maximum annual ship recycling output is determined by selecting the highest value occurring in the preceding 10-year period for each ship recycling facility, or, in the case of a newly authorised ship recycling facility, the highest annual value achieved at that facility’.
( 5 )   A map of the boundary of the ship recycling facility and the location of Ship Recycling operations within it is attached as per Article 15(2)(e) of the Regulation.
( 6 )   Please note that it is only necessary to fill in corresponding lines in the table with regard to those hazardous materials the ship recycling facility is authorised to remove.
