Foreword
ISO (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 technical
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
electrotechnical 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 document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use
of (a) patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed
patent rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received
notice of (a) patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are

Introduction
In 2017, BIMCO and CIRM published an industry standard that outlined effective software maintenance
procedures to support maintenance activities throughout the full software lifecycle. Based on this
standard, the International Standardization Organization in July 2021 published ISO 24060 that defines
a Ship Software Logging System (SSLS) for shipboard equipment software and takes steps to automate
the maintenance and management of software on a ship.
The working group developing ISO 24060 understood that it needed to take a step-by-step approach in
developing the standards necessary to fully address the industry needs related to ship software logging
because of the widespread variance in the sophistication of shipboard IT systems. ISO 24060 laid the
necessary groundwork to implement a Ship Software Logging System (SSLS) for shipboard equipment
software. This document addresses requirements for ship software service reports. It builds upon the
procedures/processes/approaches outlined in ISO 24060 regarding logging
