11、ordISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technic
12、al committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of el
13、ectrotechnical standardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was
14、 drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such paten

18、 determine and plan for beach management. As a result, many beaches have not been developed or managed in a sustainable way, resulting in some loss of the natural beauty of the site and, consequently, a negative beach user experience. This International Standard seeks to provide guidance in helping
19、to establish international benchmarks for beach management and safety.The aim of this International Standard is to help beach operators make better-informed decisions about managing the beaches for which they are responsible, using a consistent approach based on best practice. In addition to general
20、 beach organization, this International Standard includes other important aspects, such as providing education and information on beach safety, signage, access and zoning, supervision and rescue, water quality and beach facilities.Every beach is unique and has its own characteristics. A particular b
21、each could be defined as a low activity beach for the majority of the year, but classified as high activity beach for two weeks of the year (e.g. during a high season or a carnival period), thus requiring a different management approach to be adopted and temporary features to be added. This Internat
22、ional Standard covers both high activity beaches and low activity beaches, without a clear segregation of beach type.The beach operator can apply specific features of this International Standard to a particular beach, as stipulated in the results of a beach risk assessment exercise. The beach risk a
23、ssessment exercise is a simple way to help review the management and safety issues for each beach.In order to determine how to implement this International Standard, it is intended that a robust risk management process is used which highlights the risks and hazards present at each beach and which id
24、entifies the appropriate control measures required to reduce the likelihood of frequency or impact (see Clause 6). The risk assessment also identifies the beach type (i.e. high activity beach or low activity beach). ISO 2015 All rights reserved vBS ISO 13009:2015BS ISO 13009:2015Tourism and related
25、services Requirements and recommendations for beach operation1 ScopeThis International Standard establishes general requirements and recommendations for beach operators that offer tourist and visitor services. It provides guidance for both beach operators and users regarding the delivery of sustaina
26、ble management and planning, beach ownership, sustainable infrastructure and service provision needs, including beach safety, information and communication, cleaning and waste removal.This International Standard is applicable to beaches during the bathing season.2 Normative referencesThe following d

45、with millions of tourists visiting coastal areas each year. Tourism is the worlds third largest industry and the primary economic sector in many regions. As a result, there is increasing competition for the use of resources in coastal waters and beach areas.Beach activities are becoming more varied,
46、 ranging from para-karting to power boating; swimming to sailing and from horse riding to beach barbequing. Many activities, particularly those involving more active participation, require some form of management to reduce potential conflict between different user groups, and trying to cater for suc
47、h a diverse range of activities can cause difficulties. Not only do conflicts need to be resolved between different users, but differences between locals and tourists also need to be considered. The requirements of local residents differ from those of tourists, and balancing their respective needs i
48、s a major contributory factor in successful beach use and management.Beaches can have several uses, including: recreation and leisure; ISO 2015 All rights reserved 3BS ISO 13009:2015ISO 13009:2015(E) coast protection; sporting activities; educational events, socio-cultural, religious or sporting; na
