Press Release
NEW PUBLICATIONS FOR ROV DIVISION
IMCA - the International Marine Contractors Association - has published two new documents of relevance to the ROV industry, High Voltage Equipment - Safety Procedures for Working on ROVs; and the Standard ROV Audit Document. IMCA Remote Systems & ROV Division members automatically receive copies free of charge on publication.
High Voltage Equipment - Safety Procedures for Working on ROVs (IMCA R 005) provides guidance for electrical safety in respect of surface personnel when operating ROVs. It supersedes AODC 060, which is withdrawn. Member price for additional copies: £5; Non-member price: £10.
Standard ROV Audit Document (IMCA R 006) provides a set of templates for a high-level ROV audit document, each covering a specific phase/element of an ROV project. Each template is built round and intended to reference appropriate company documents. It additionally contains a Pre-Mobilisation Checklist to assist companies without such an in-house document. Member price for additional copies: £10; Non-member price: £20.

- IMCA is an international association with well over 800 members in 60 countries, as at September 2011, representing offshore, marine and underwater engineering companies. IMCA has four technical divisions, covering marine/specialist vessel operations, offshore diving, hydrographic survey and remote systems and ROVs, plus geographic sections for the Asia-Pacific, South America, Europe & Africa, Middle East & India and Central & North America regions. As well as a core focus on safety, the environment, competence and training. IMCA seeks to promote its members' common interests, to resolve industry-wide issues and to provide an authoritative voice for its members.
- IMCA publishes some 200 guidance notes and technical reports. These have been developed over the years and are widely distributed. They are a definition of what IMCA stands for, including widely recognised diving and ROV codes of practice, DP documentation, marine good practice guidance, the Common Marine Inspection Document, safety recommendation, outline training syllabi and the IMCA competence scheme guidance. In addition to the range of printed guidance documents, IMCA also produces safety promotional materials, circulates information notes and safety flashes.
