Part C - Time sequence

6 Decommissioning phase 
A decommissioning plan shall be drawn up in good time prior to completion of the operating phase and 
applied for to the BSH. This plan shall be based on the decommissioning concept that was checked as 
part of the design evaluation. 
In the event that statutory requirements or the state of the art have changed between the design phase 
and the end of the operating phase, appropriate adaptations to the current state of the art shall be inclu 
ded in the preparation of the decommissioning plan. 
The decommissioning plan agreed with the certifier/registered inspector shall be presented to the BSH, 
which reserves the right to have it checked by an independent assessor. The decommissioning shall 
be inspected by the certifier/registered inspector. The certifier/registered inspector shall issue regular 
inspection reports during the decommissioning phase. Successful completion of the decommissioning 
phase shall be documented with a corresponding certificate of conformity grouping together the indivi 
dual inspection reports, which shall be presented to the BSH. The decommissioning phase terminates 
with a declaration from the BSH that the measure has been completed.
