What is ISO 21072 ‑ 2 about?
ISO 21072 is an International Standard on the performance testing of oil skimmers used for marine pollution control.
ISO 21072-2 is the second part in the multi-series of International Standard that specifies a methodology for establishing quantitative performance data for oil skimmers for recovery of oil with a light and medium viscosity (up to 50 000 cP).
The methodology applies to testing in a basin and requires control of oil properties and oil slick characteristics.
ISO 21072-2 provides methods for carrying out and recording results of full-scale tests for a skimmer under a variety of test conditions, where there is limited or no access to specialist test facilities.
The method applies to all types of skimmers provided that the equipment dimensions are within the physical limitations of the test basin. The te...
