What is ISO 23323 about?
ISO 23323 specifies the minimum functions for software-based planned maintenance systems (SPMS) and related aspects that shipping companies are intended to provide to ships.
ISO 23323 specifies requirements for planning and implementing a maintenance schedule, as well as for recording, reporting, analyzing, and optimizing the maintenance of onboard equipment and systems, in support of ISM Code 2018 Part A/10, which addresses maintenance, spare parts, procurement, personnel, and voyage planning; these aspects can be covered in one or more applications.
Who is ISO 23323 for?
ISO 23323 on specification for software-based planned maintenance systems is useful for:
- Marine engineers
- Ship manufacturer Industries
- SPMS service provider
- SPMS developing companies
Why should you use ISO 23323?
In International Safety Management Code, the ISO 23323 defines a mandatory regulation on planned maintenance systems (PMS) for ships, for the purposes of promoting efficiency of maintenance and safe operation.
Even though shipping companies have been developing their own PMS software and equipping ships, this has been proving difficult for medium to small size shipping companies. ISO 23323 is the best practice guide to ensure the standardization of the software-based planned maintenance systems used in the ship and marine technology.
A standardized software-based PMS in ISO 23323 guidelines enable you to meet the demands in the era of e-navigation or maritime autonomous surface ships (MASS).
BS ISO 23323 provides useful guidelines to shipping companies when developing the software program of PMS. It offers guidance on the methods of inputting, planning, reporting, and managing the data of maintenance of items and spare parts.
