Code of Safety for Diving Systems 1995
£17.00
This Code (resolution A.536(13) as amended by resolution A.831(19)) was formulated to minimize the risks to ships and to floating structures equipped with diving systems and their divers and personnel and to facilitate the international movement of these ships and floating structures in the context of diving operations. To achieve this the Code recommends design criteria and construction, equipment and survey standards for diving systems.

IMO
As a specialised agency of the United Nations, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is the global standard-setting authority for the safety, security and environmental performance of international shipping. Its main role is to create a regulatory framework for the shipping industry that is fair and effective, universally adopted and universally implemented.
In other words, its role is to create a level playing field so that ship operators cannot address their financial issues by simply cutting corners and compromising on safety, security and environmental performance. This approach also encourages innovation and efficiency.
Shipping is a truly international industry, and it can only operate effectively if the regulations and standards are themselves agreed, adopted and implemented on an international basis. And IMO is the forum at which this process takes place.
