MODEL COURSE FOR TRAINING ISM CODE AUDITORS
Module I - Principles and criteria for auditing quality systems
The aim of this module is that the trainees acquire and develop general knowledge and understanding of criteria governing the audit of a quality system, according to the indications given in ISO 10011-1 standard (or equivalent national standard). 2.1.1 General learning objectives At the end of this module, the trainees must demonstrate their ability to: I.1 explain the general concepts of quality and identify the relevant instruments; I.2 I.3 I.4 I.5 I.6 I.7 I.8 define keywords commonly used in quality systems audits; identify audit objectives; explain roles, responsibilities and activities of personnel involved in the audit; explain how to prepare an audit; explain how to execute an audit; complete audit documents; perform a practical exercise.
2.2.2 Detailed learning objectives The following elements contain the detailed learning objectives for each of the above general learning objectives. Additional elements may be inserted, as necessary. I.1 Explain the general concepts of quality and identify the relevant instruments
The trainee should be able to: .1 Explain the general concept of quality [1] Quality is defined as the totality of characteristics of an entity that bear on its ability to satisfy stated and implied needs. The term entity usually means product but may extend further to cover, for example, activity, process, organisation or person. Product is the result of activities or processes and can be tangible and intangible, or a combination thereof. Products are classified in four generic categories, i.e.:

hardware (e.g. parts, components, assemblies); software (e.g. computer programs, procedures, information, data, records); processed materials (e.g. raw material, liquids, solids, gases, sheets, wires); and services (e.g. insurance, banking, transport).
Quality control concerns the operational means to fulfil the quality requirements, while quality assurance aims at providing confidence in this fulfilment, both within the organisation and externally to customers and authorities. Quality management includes both quality control and quality assurance, as well as the additional concepts of quality policy, quality planning and quality improvement. Quality management operates through the quality system. .2 Identify the most important ISO quality standards General The International Organization of Standardization (ISO) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies, and the work of preparing international standards is normally carried out through technical committees. ISO 8402 Clarifies and standardises the quality terms as they apply to the field of quality management. ISO 9001 Model for quality assurance for use when conformance to specified requirements is to be assured by the supplied during design, development, production, installation and servicing. ISO 9002 Model for quality assurance for use when conformance to specified requirements is to be assured by the supplier during production, installation and servicing. ISO 9003 Model for quality assurance for use when conformance to specified requirements is to be assured by the supplier solely at final inspection and test. ISO 10011 Gives guidance for auditing quality systems

I.3 Identify audit objectives
The trainee should be able to: .12 Explain audit objectives Audits are inter alia designed for one or more of the following purposes: determine the conformity or nonconformity of the quality system elements with specified requirements; determine the effectiveness of the implemented quality system in meeting specified quality objectives; provide the auditee with an opportunity to improve the quality system; verify that an organisations own quality system continues to meet specified requirements and is being implemented.
Audits may be periodic, or may be prompted by significant changes in the quality system, or by a need to follow-up a corrective action. I.4 Explain roles, responsibilities and activities of personnel involved in the audit
The trainee should be able to: .13 Explain the role of the Auditor/Lead Auditor Auditor is responsible for ensuring that the Audit is planned and executed as well as results reported according to the applicable auditing requirements. Whether an audit is carried out by a team or an individual, a Lead Auditor should be placed in overall charge. .14 Explain the role of the client Client is responsible for the determination of the auditing organisation, the general scope of the Audit (i.e. what quality system standard or document it is to be conducted against) and the determination of what follow-up action, if any, is to be taken. .15 Explain the role of the auditee Auditee's management is responsible for providing all resources, facilities and evidential material needed by the Auditor to ensure an effective and efficient audit process as well as for determining and initiating corrective actions based on the audit report.

.16
Explain how to prepare an audit plan Preparing an audit means develop an audit plan and prepare the working documents. As a basis for planning the audit, the auditor should review for adequacy the quality manual; if this review reveals that the system described is not adequate, further resources should not be expended on the audit until such concerns are resolved. The audit plan should be designed to be flexible in order to permit changes in emphasis based on information gathered during the Audit, and to permit effective use of resources.
.17
Explain how to define the audit frequency The need to perform an audit is determined by the client, taking account of specified or regulatory requirements and any other pertinent factors. Significant changes in management, organisation, policy, techniques or technologies that could affect the quality system, or changes to the system itself and the results of previous audits could influence the audit frequency.
.18
Explain how duties and responsibilities are assigned to auditors Each auditor should be assigned specific quality system elements or functional departments to audit. Such assignments should be made by the lead auditor in consultation with the auditors concerned.
.19
Explain which support documentation may be used Documents required to facilitate the auditor's investigations and to document and report results may include: check-lists for evaluating quality system elements; forms for reporting audit observations; forms for documenting supporting evidence for conclusions.
Working documents should be designed so that they do not restrict additional audit activities or investigations which may become necessary as a result of information gathered during the Audit. I.6 Explain how to execute an audit
The trainee should be able to: .20 Explain how to carry out an opening meeting Purpose of the opening meeting is to review the scope and objectives of the Audit, provide a short summary of the methods to be used to conduct the audit and establish the official communication links.

.21
Explain how to collect evidence Evidence is collected during the examination through interviews, examination of documents and observation of activities in the areas of concern. Information gathered through interviews should be tested by acquiring the same information from other independent sources, such as physical observation, measurements and records.
.22
Explain how to handle audit observations All audit observations are documented and after all activities have been audited, the Auditor shall review all observations to determine which are to be reported as a non-conformity. Non-conformities are to be identified in terms of the specific requirements of the standard or other related documents against which the audit has been conducted.
.23
Explain how to carry out a closing meeting Main purpose of the closing meeting, to be held at the end of the Audit and prior to preparing the audit report, is to present audit observations in such a manner so as to ensure that the results of the audit are correctly understood.
.24
Explain how to conclude an audit Audit is completed upon submission of the audit report to the client.
.25
Explain how to execute a corrective action follow-up Auditee is responsible for determining and initiating corrective actions needed to correct a nonconformity. The auditor is only responsible for identifying the nonconformity. Corrective action and subsequent follow-up audits shall be completed within a time period agreed to by the client and the auditee in consultation with the auditing organisation.
I.7
Complete audit documents
The trainee should be able to: .26 Explain how to prepare the report The audit report is prepared under the direction of the lead auditor, who is responsible for its accuracy and completeness. .27 Explain the content of the report The audit report reflects both the tone and content of the audit, including inter alia its scope and objectives, details of the audit plan, identification of the reference documents, nonconformities and distribution list.

.98 Describe general features
- typical bulk carrier cargoes are coal, concentrates, grain, fertiliser, animal feedstuffs, salt, sulphur and minerals; - carriage of dangerous goods is principally governed by Chapter VII of SOLAS 1974, as amended; - handy-sized bulk carriers range in size from 25,000 to 50,000 deadweight; - Panamax bulk carriers, having maximum dimensions for transit of the Panama Canal, range in size up to 80,000 tons deadweight; - Cape-sized bulk carriers range in size from the 100,000 to 180,000 deadweight; - very large bulk carriers are in excess of 180,000 deadweight; - bulk carriers equipped with cranes or derricks are known as geared type; - those with conveyor belt discharging systems are known as self-unloaders; - ore/bulk/oil carriers OBOs are designed for carrying both dry and liquid bulk commodities; - open bulk carriers are designed for packaged lumber and woodpulp. .99 Describe basic cargo distribution - bulk cargoes have to be properly distributed throughout the ship to avoid overstressing the structure and to maintain adequate stability; - general cargo ship is normally constructed to carry materials of about 1.391.67 cubic meters per tonne when loaded to full capacity; - high density bulk cargo can have a stowage factor of about 0.56 cubic meters per tonne or lower; - improper distribution of loading can cause high stress in either the structure locally under the load or the entire hull; - provide comprehensive loading information in order to plan permissible weight distribution consistent with stability book information. .100 Describe basic safety measures for personnel - bulk cargoes when generating dust require ventilation systems to be shut down or screened;
IACS 1995
2009 v4 Page 89
IACS
- air conditioning system should be on recirculation; - use of safety nets; - some bulk cargoes may result in oxygen reduction, emit toxic fumes and are corrosive; - personnel protection using respirator and protective clothing may be required. .101 Describe hatch cover features - steel hatch covers may be handled by hydraulics or direct pull; - hatch openings have increased with ship size, twisting, racking, strength and watertightness; creating problems with
single-pull hatch covers are sets of panels linked together by chains or rods at the coaming sides and which stow vertically at the hatch ends;
- folding hatch covers are usually two-panel with hinges between the two panels and hinges at the hatch end; the system can be wire operated with cranes or derricks or hydraulically powered; rolling covers roll transversely and end covers roll longitudinally, rolling on rails mounted on hatch coamings; piggy-back involves the stowage of one hatch panel over another. advantage is that no deck space is required for the stowage of hatch panels. electric and hydraulic systems are available as the drive medium; stacking is a development of the piggy-back system, with a number of panels being stowed and moved in a single stack;
- each panel is supported on the underside by steel beams or stiffeners; - double skin hatch construction allows for reduced scantlings and better insulation; - temperature difference between the skins imposes additional loading on the securing devices, and may give rise to problems on OBOs; - a single hatch panel can range in weight from 5 to 100 tons; - because of the rigidity of the hatch covers and flexing of the ships hull, elastic joints are necessary.

.102 Describe basic preparation of holds - cargo spaces have to be inspected and prepared for the particular material to be loaded; - sweeping or water washing are options for cleaning; - bilge lines, sounding pipes and other service lines within the cargo space have to be confirmed in good order; - depending on the velocity of the incoming cargo, special care may be necessary to protect fittings from damage; - bilge wells and strainer plates require special attention in order to drainage and prevent entry of material into the bilge system; - holds can be dried either through natural ventilation or ventilation fans. .103 Describe disposal of cargo residue and waste - MARPOL 73/78 regulations apply to bulk carriers; - machinery bilge handled through an oily water separator; - slop may be incinerated or pumped ashore to reception facilities or road tanker; - solid cargo residues may be disposed overboard or ashore. .104 Describe general operational requirements - hold ventilators must be in good working order to provide ventilation and securing against water entry; - bilge wells must be cleaned after every cargo, associated piping ,suction strum and sounding pipe proved clear; - CO2 gas lines can be tested by compressed air; - smoke detecting system should be tested every voyage; - to avoid potential water leakage into the holds, hatch coaming drains have to be checked for cargo blockage; - maintenance of cargo handling gear is important - may be cranes or derricks. failure can have serious consequences for personnel; allow
IACS 1995

- certificate required for every item of cargo gear which must be clearly marked with its safe working load; - condition of wire should be checked before beginning cargo handling operations; - sea water ballast may have to be changed in the open ocean to comply with the requirements of the load port; that is to avoid possible interchange of unacceptable marine life; - the sequence of ballast handling has to accommodate allowable values on stress and stability, including the effect of free surface; - some large bulk carriers are fitted with hull stress monitoring. longitudinal bending stresses are measured by strain gauges at several points along the deck; slamming stresses are measured by accelerometers located forward; - information is recorded on the navigating bridge; - when a cargo hold is half full of liquid, sloshing can cause structural damage due to ships motion in a seaway; that occurs when the natural frequency of sloshing approaches that of the ship motion frequency causing large wave amplitudes and pressures to be set up in the tank. .105 Describe basic loading operations - high-density cargoes such as ore will bring the ship down to her marks before the cargo spaces are filled; with grain, the cargo holds would be full before the loadline limitation is reached; - if the former, a full cargo is likely to be loaded in alternate holds; with the latter, all holds are likely to be used although some may not be full; - when deballasting concurrent with loading, calculations are required for draft, trim stability and longitudinal stresses for each stage of the loading operation; - draft, trim, stability, shear forces and bending moments have also to be calculated for the voyage; - when block loading, i.e. adjacent holds heavily loaded with one or two holds empty, approved plans have to be followed. .106 Describe basic laden voyage operations - choice of route is important to avoid damage to ship and cargo; - for hold ventilation, it is necessary to consider the requirements of the cargo, temperature and humidity within the holds and outside as well as sea spray;
IACS 1995
2009 v4 Page 92
IACS
- special ventilation requirements are necessary to prevent overheating or to remove dangerous gases; - temperatures usually obtained through sounding pipes; - throughout voyage, take soundings of all compartments to determine any change in readings. .107 Describe basic discharging operations - charterer may require hatches to be open before berthing provided it is safe to do so and no damage to cargo; - discharge and ballasting plan to ensure longitudinal stresses not exceeded and underkeel clearance and air draft remain within permissible values; - discharge may be by grab, vacuvator or ships gear; - grab is the most common but has the potential to damage tank internals; - vacuvator is a self-contained mobile suction unit powered by diesel engines; most common where bulk cargoes not regularly handled; - using ships gear requires frequent inspection and testing to maintain operation; - during discharge, control of hatches is important to avoid damage to cargo. .108 List typical bulk cargoes grain - grain is liable to shift and endanger stability; - cargo distribution has to comply with SOLAS Chapter VI and IMO Grain Code; - grain in partially- filled cargo compartment displays free-surface effect similar to liquid in a slack tank; - hatch covers and access hatches to be watertight to avoid water damage; - ventilation during the voyage is important. coal - coal can produce explosions, fire, corrode the ships structure and emit poisonous gases;
IACS 1995
2009 v4 Page 93
IACS
- some coals are liable to spontaneous combustion; - shipper to provide the characteristics of the cargo e.g. moisture content and sulphur and the recommended safe handling procedures for loading and transportation; - temperature monitoring unreliable method for detecting heat; - carbon monoxide measurement more reliable; - onboard instruments for measuring oxygen, methane, carbon monoxide and temperature; - prior to departure, coal to be trimmed to avoid formation of gas pockets; - atmosphere in the holds to be monitored during the voyage. iron ore - iron ore is a high density cargo ranging from a stowage factor of 0.29 to 0.8 cubic meters/tonne; - Classification Society may allow alternate holds to be empty; - that arrangement increases the weight of cargo in other holds making the ship less stiff; - ship is then exposed to greater longitudinal stresses and higher tanktop loading. - iron ore is self draining, requiring pumping of bilge during the voyage; - iron ore can reduce the oxygen in the hold therefore testing of cargo hold atmosphere is necessary before personnel entry.
