A Scope and Application

A.1 Scope
The “Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships,
2009”1 (denoted as “the Convention” in the following) will change some aspects of shipbuilding, ship op-
erations, repair, conversions, and ship recycling practices once it has entered into force. The life cycle of
ships is becoming more and more regulated with the aim of assuring safe and environmentally sound
practices for the dismantling and disposal of obsolete ships. The life-cycle approach has been identified
as the most promising way of reaching this goal and it therefore forms the core of the new legally binding
instrument of IMO. The Convention addresses inter alia “taking care of hazardous and other materials”
contained in ships, as further specified in the “Guidelines for the Development of the Inventory of Hazard-
ous Materials” 2. These materials have to be identified by those capable of obtaining the required infor-
mation – the suppliers and shipbuilders for new ships, and shipowners with the support of hazardous
material experts for existing ships, respectively.
In order to permit safe and environmentally sound ship recycling, requirements have been defined and
the scope has been chosen to reach from “cradle to grave”. This has to be considered in an early stage of
a ship’s life cycle for effectively fulfilling the requirements and assuring compliance at date of delivery of a
new ship or for existing ships prior to recycling, however, at the latest within five years after entry into
force of the Convention.
Shipyards have to collect and evaluate material information from their suppliers for the preparation of the
ship-specific Inventory of Hazardous Materials for new ships. In the case of existing ships, the shipowner
has to involve a hazardous material expert for the preparation of the ship-specific Inventory of Hazardous
Materials. Later, the Inventory of Hazardous Materials has to be updated by the shipowner if any changes
on board have an effect on the scope of the IHM, before it is to be used for planning of the ship recycling
steps and processes.
The related procedures for gathering information and the forms required for preparation of the Inventory
of Hazardous Materials are described in these Rules with a view to assuring a unified and effective im-
plementation.
A.2 Application
A.2.1 These Rules apply to all merchant ships of 500 GT and above flying the flag of a Party to the
Convention.
A.2.2 These Rules do not apply mandatorily to any warships, naval auxiliary or other ships owned or

A The Three Parts of the IHM

The Inventory of Hazardous Materials consists of three different parts: Part I, Part II and Part III.
An overview of the applicability of these three parts at different stages in a ship's life cycle is provided in
Table 2.1 below:

All relevant hazardous materials under Part I, Part II and Part III are grouped in four tables – “Table A”,
“Table B”, “Table C”, and “Table D” – based on their properties.
Declaration of Table A materials is mandatory for new ships, new installations and existing ships.
Declaration of Table B materials is mandatory for new ships, new installations and as far as practicable
for existing ships.
Table A and B materials are applicable for IHM Part I (see Appendix A).
Table C and Table D materials are applicable for IHM Part II and Part III prior to recycling / last voyage of
a ship.
Table C (Potentially hazardous items) comprises items which are potentially hazardous to the environ-
ment and human health at Ship Recycling Facilities and should be listed during prior to recycling of the
ship (see Appendix B).
Table D (Regular consumable goods potentially containing Hazardous Materials) comprises goods which
are not integral to a ship and are unlikely to be dismantled or treated at a Ship Recycling Facility. Table D

items should be listed in Part III of the Inventory if they are to be delivered with the ship to a Ship Recy-
cling Facility. Table D items does not include ship-specific equipment integral to ship operations, which
has to be listed in Part I of the Inventory g (see Appendix B).
Note:
Table D is an overview of common appliances, which neither have to be considered in Material Declara-
tions nor in the Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity nor in the IHM Part I. As these appliances are often
covered and regulated by other international regulations, e.g. “Restriction of Hazardous Materials”
(“RoHS”), are not specific to maritime equipment, and can widely be found elsewhere, it is assumed that
anybody involved in e.g. recycling or waste treatment is aware of the hazardous materials contained. This
exclusion is only applicable as long as these appliances contain only typical components; anything not
falling under this exemption (e.g. specially designed electronic items) has to be documented as required
for other materials and components. Physical marking allowing easy identification is an option for specifi-
cally designed parts not falling under this exemption but surrounded by those for which this exemption
can be applied. In this case, only the specifically designed parts have to be covered by the MD and
SDoC, which must also contain a clarifying explanation.
A.1 Part I (Materials contained in ship structure or equipment)
A.1.1 For all ships:
A.1.1.1 Part I lists materials contained in the ship’s structure and equipment.
A.1.1.2 Once prepared and certified it shall be kept up to date and maintained during the whole life
cycle of a ship.
A.1.2 For existing ships:
A.1.2.1 IHM Part I shall be prepared by or on behalf of the shipowner and certified within 5 years after
entry into force of the Convention or, at the latest, directly prior to recycling of the respective ship, which-
ever comes first.
A.1.2.2 Certification of the IHM should be harmonized with the surveys required by other applicable
statutory instruments.
A.1.2.3 Table A materials shall be listed in IHM Part I for existing ships.
A.1.2.4 Table B materials should be listed as far as practicable.
A.1.2.5 For materials exceeding the threshold levels, any presence of materials listed in Table A and
Table B shall be documented in the IHM with their location and the amounts present on board.
A.1.2.6 Relevant changes shall be made in IHM Part I during ship operations and especially in case of
repair and conversions whenever any of the IHM entries become obsolete or inaccurate.
A.1.3 For new ships:
A.1.3.1 IHM Part I shall be prepared at the design and construction stage by the shipyard and shall be
on board ship after the Convention enters into force.
A.1.3.2 Table A and B materials, when present, shall be listed in IHM Part I for new ships.
A.1.3.3 If one or more materials listed in Table A are found to be present in concentrations above the
specified threshold level according to the MD, the products which contain these materials shall not be
installed on board a ship. However, if the materials are used in a product in accordance with an exemp-
tion specified by the Convention (e.g. new installations containing hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs)
before 1 January 2020), the product shall be listed in the IHM.
A.1.3.4 If one or more materials listed in Table B are found to be present in concentrations above the
specified threshold level according to the MD, the products shall be listed in the IHM.

Note:
Table A contains hazardous materials that are widely restricted or banned and are not allowed to be used
or installed on board ships.
A.2 Part II (Operationally generated wastes)
A.2.1 Part II lists operationally generated wastes.
A.2.2 Part II shall be developed prior to the final survey of a ship destined to be recycled.
A.2.3 Items listed in Table C correspond to Part II of the IHM.
A.2.4 Part II is required for the International Ready for Recycling Certificate (IRRC).
A.3 Part III (Stores)
A.3.1 Part III lists the materials in stores containing potentially hazardous materials and items.
A.3.2 Part III shall be developed prior to the final survey of a ship destined to be recycled.
A.3.3 Items listed in Table C and Table D correspond to those in Part III of the IHM.
A.3.4 Part III is required for the International Ready for Recycling Certificate (IRRC).
B Certification of the IHM

DNV GL certifies the IHM according to the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Envi-
ronmentally Sound Recycling of Ships, 2009 (SR/CONF/45) and the relevant Guidelines for the Devel-
opment of the Inventory of Hazardous Materials (Resolution MEPC.197(62) and Guidelines for the Survey
and Certification of ships under the Hong Kong Convention (Resolution MEPC.222(62). This shall either
be done on behalf of an Administration (Flag State) in form of a “Certificate”, or by individual initiative in
the form of a “Statement of Compliance”. The following sections refer only to Certificates, but the content
is also applicable for the Statements of Compliance.
B.1 Initial Certification

DNV GL issues an “International Certificate on Inventory of Hazardous Materials” (ICIHM) upon request if
the relevant flag state authorization has been given, or a “Statement of Compliance” if applicable, to the
shipyard (in the case of a new ship) or to the shipowner (in the case of an existing ship). The Certificate
has to be accompanied by the original IHM on the date of certification, as the IHM represents an integral
part of the Certificate.
B.2 Maintenance of the IHM

The IHM has to be kept up to date and maintained by the shipowner and reflect any onboard changes
that have an influence on the content of the IHM.
B.3 Re-certification
Appropriate reflection of the onboard situation regarding the hazardous materials falling under the scope
of the IHM has to be verified at intervals specified by the Administration, but not exceeding 5 years,
through “renewal surveys” by DNV GL.
In case of significant changes, e.g. repairs, maintenance or conversions, the shipowner can request an
additional survey. This survey shall ensure that any significant change, replacement or repair is docu-
mented in such a way that the ship continues to comply with the requirements of the Convention, and that
Part I of the IHM is amended as necessary. After an additional survey, no new certificate is issued; thus
the normal period of the re-certification remains valid.

B.4 Validity of Certificates

An International Certificate on Inventory of Hazardous Materials is issued for a period specified by the
Administration, which shall not exceed five years. The Certificate on Inventory of Hazardous Materials
becomes invalid if:
B.4.1 the condition of the ship does not correspond substantially with the particulars of the Certifi-
cate, including cases where Part I of the IHM is not properly maintained and updated to reflect changes in
ship structure and equipment.
B.4.2 the ship is transferred to the flag of another State. A new Certificate shall only be issued when
the Party issuing the new Certificate is fully satisfied that the ship is in compliance with the requirements
of the Convention. In the case of a transfer between Parties and if requested within three months after the
transfer has taken place, the Party whose flag the ship was formerly entitled to fly shall, as soon as pos-
sible, transmit to the Administration copies of the Certificates carried by the ship prior to the transfer and,
if available, copies of the relevant survey reports.
B.4.3 the renewal survey is not completed within the periods specified under the Convention.
B.4.4 the Certificate is not endorsed in accordance with the Convention.

B Responsibilities of Shipyards ...................................................................................... 3-1
C Responsibilities of Tier 1 Suppliers ............................................................................. 3-3
A General Requirements
A.1 IHM Part I shall be developed at the design and construction stage by the shipyard.
A.2 The preparation of IHM Part I shall be based on the information declared in the Material Decla-
ration (MD) as received from the suppliers in the shipbuilding supply chain (e.g. equipment suppliers,
parts suppliers, material suppliers).
A.3 Every MD shall be accompanied by a Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (SDoC).
A.4 For all products, a statement on whether or not materials listed in Table A and B are present
shall be provided in form of the MD and confirmed by a related SDoC.
A.5 If one or more materials listed in Table A are found to be present in concentrations above the
specified threshold level according to the MD, the products which contain these materials shall not be
installed on board a ship. However, if the materials are used in a product in accordance with an exemp-
tion specified by the Convention (e.g. new installations containing hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs)
before 1 January 2020), the product shall be listed in the IHM.
A.6 If the content of hazardous materials in a product is above the specific threshold levels provid-
ed in Table A and B, the quantity of hazardous materials for each homogenous material in this product
shall be listed in Part I of the IHM (based on information from the related MD) including the location of the
product on board.
A.7 Spare parts containing hazardous materials listed in Table A and B above the threshold levels
are required to be listed in Part III of the IHM.
A.8 Volumes of pipes and machinery containing hazardous materials as listed in Table C should
be recorded separately to enable the shipowner to prepare Part II and/or Part III of the IHM prior to recy-
cling.
A.9 All forms required for preparation of the IHM should be prepared, transmitted and processed
electronically. No hardcopies are to be used, as these cannot be processed electronically and additional
costs are generated. The forms should be used as provided by DNV GL.
A.10 A Hazardous Materials Location Plan should be prepared in order to help recycling companies
to understand the IHM visually
B Responsibilities of Shipyards
B.1 Shipyards identify Tier 1 suppliers of coating systems, components, equipment and structural
elements and request statements on whether or not hazardous materials of Table A and Table B are con-
tained. If these materials are contained above the related threshold levels, further details on the corre-

Section 3 New Ships
sponding quantity (weight/volume) and location within the supplied goods (applicable for components) are
required.
B.2 The information on hazardous materials is to be collected in the form of the Material Declara-
tion (MD) (see Appendix C) and Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) (see Appendix D) from Tier
1 suppliers.
B.2.1 The MD shall be prepared on the basis of the available and / or collected information by the
Tier 1 Suppliers; any missing information is to be obtained from their supply chain (Tier 2 to n suppliers).
B.2.2 The shipyard shall only accept MDs and related SDoCs that have been filled in completely.
B.2.3 The shipyard should collect Material Declarations (MDs) and Suppliers’ Declarations of Con-
formity (SDoCs) in the electronic format specified by DNV GL from Tier 1 Suppliers (entries to be made in
the original PDF format, i.e. no scans).
B.2.4 If the supplier does not provide a legally signed SDoC electronically, a signed hardcopy of the
SDoC has to be made available and archived by the shipyard .
B.3 The information in the MD and SDoC received from Tier 1 Suppliers shall be directly utilized
and the location and/or the system of the related items on board, including amounts if applicable (e.g. for
paints), shall be calculated and added by the shipyards.
An overview of the structure for obtaining information and relevant documents by shipyards via their Tier

C Responsibilities of Tier 1 Suppliers

For all products, suppliers shall prepare and provide SDoCs and MDs to customers (shipyards and ship-
owners), even when no hazardous materials are contained above the applicable threshold levels (see
also IHM Guidelines, Resolution MEPC.197(62), Regulation 6.1).
C.1 Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (SDoC)
C.1.1 Tier 1 Suppliers shall prepare a Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) for products sup-
plied by them and provide it to the requesting shipyard. The following is to be inserted into the SDoC by
the Tier 1 Supplier:
 SDoC number: A unique number produced by the Tier 1 Supplier for identification
 Issuer’s name: Name of the Tier 1 Supplier / supplier
 Issuer’s address: Complete address of Tier 1 Supplier / supplier
 Objects of declaration: Specification which products are covered by the SDoC and described
in detail in the accompanying MDs. This can also cover a complete
delivery including peripheral components, as long as the hazardous
materials can be localized clearly.
 Applicable regulations: Legal and organizational documents which provide the basis for prep-
aration of the information provided in the attached MD and which as-
sure correctness and control of information internally (at the Tier 1
Supplier)
 Additional information: Special information, e.g. when the SDoC is covering only a certain
range of serial numbers of the components listed under Appendix F,
quality or environmental management certificates and their validity etc.
 Signed for and on behalf of: Name of Tier 1 Supplier (or alternatively a contractor)
 Place and date of issue: Place and date where this SDoC has been issued and signed
 Name, function: Representative of Tier 1 Supplier in charge of preparation of SDoC
and MD
 Signature: Signature of the above-mentioned person
C.1.2 The prepared SDoC has to be signed by the supplier. If the supplier has no legally binding
electronic signature system, the electronic version of the SDoC should be “signed” by typing in the name
of the representative and then sent back to the requesting shipyard electronically together with the MD(s).
Additionally to this, a hardcopy of the SDoC has to be signed and sent to the shipyards in parallel.
Note 1:
Tier 1 Suppliers are liable for any information provided to the shipyards. It is their obligation to decide on
the level of detail with which their own supply chains are involved in the information-gathering process. As
a formal statement regarding the MD, the SDoC should be included for legal reasons.
C.2 Material Declaration (MD)
C.2.1 Tier 1 Suppliers shall prepare the Material Declaration (MD) for products supplied by them and
provide it to the requesting shipyard.
C.2.2 Each homogeneous material within the products shall be analysed as to whether or not and in
what concentration it contains the hazardous materials listed in Table A and Table B (Appendix A).

specific unit of the product (e.g. in 1 piece, kg, m, m or m ). In this example, the listed hazardous materi-
als are contained in 1 piece “Engine”.
Table 3.1 Example of how to fill in MD Product and Material Information
Note 1:
Any unintentional presence of hazardous materials in form of trace contaminants does not fall within the
scope of MDs.

Section 3 New Ships
Note 2:
For ease of tracking and utilization, and for assuring unified processes, the information request by a Tier
1 Supplier from its suppliers (Tier 2, n) should be based on the same SDoC and MD forms. The forms
should be archived from within the own supply chain, as they constitute legal statements; if an investiga-
tion is carried out later, the source of information can then easily be identified.
Note 3:
For Tier 1 Suppliers of complex machinery and equipment, it can be useful to provide separate MDs for
the major functional units. This can be achieved by appropriate definition of system boundaries and the
corresponding preparation of separate MDs. Customer-specific MD preparation will later simplify the
maintenance of the IHM during the operational phase of a ship.

manufacturer or supplier, old or new location, entry or deletion date.
Note:
In the case of conversion, repair or other modifications and maintenance, all changes relevant for the IHM
have to be reflected in the existing IHM. It is the obligation of the shipowner to assure this. These tasks
should be assigned via contractual arrangements to the yards carrying out the work.
B.3 Involvement of DNV GL Approved HazMat Experts
B.3.1 DNV GL Approved HazMat Expert program includes the following:
B.3.1.1 Participation to the 4 days Course “DNV GL-Approved HazMat Expert”. Course covers theo-
retical and practical information for the IHM preparation. At the end of the course participants who pass
the exam receive their certificate.
B.3.1.2 Witnessing of DNV GL Approved HazMat Expert by a DNV GL personnel by accompanying

the HazMat Expert during the first assignment and evaluation of the practical work on a ship. The HazMat
Expert conducts the preparation of the VSCP, the on board Visual and Sampling check, the post pro-

cessing including the calculation of amounts, interpretation of laboratory results and the preparation of the
related documentation.
B.3.1.3 The approved HazMat Expert can work for the following organisations:

verify that the Company meets the standard requirements.
B.3.2.5 The Company shall demonstrate that it has the competence and control needed to perform
IHM preparation. An on board demonstration of IHM preparation as well as satisfactory reporting is condi-
tion on approval of the Company. At least one DNV GL fully approved HazMat Expert should be em-
ployed by the Company for the role of HazMat Expert.
B.3.2.6 In case of ISO 9001 certification the scope has to consider the service of the “Preparation of
the IHM according to IMO regulations”.
B.3.2.7 Upon satisfactory results of both the audit of the Company and the demonstration of proce-
dures on board, certification of Approval will be issued.
C Responsibilities of DNV GL Approved HazMat Experts

The HazMat Expert acts on behalf of the shipowner. The preparation work to be carried out consists of
the following tasks:
C.1 Collection of necessary information

All available information, as listed under B, paragraph B.1, shall be collected. Additionally, the HazMat
Expert can also obtain information from the Shipyard, manufacturers and the ship’s classification society,
if possible. The HazMat Expert may, after collecting the necessary documentation, use an Indicative List

that shows which equipments, systems and areas on board are assumed to contain Hazardous Material
of Table A for existing ships
C.2 Assessment of collected information

Information collected shall be examined and evaluated by the DNV GL Approved HazMat Expert in order
to obtain detailed knowledge about the presence of the hazardous materials of concern. All results of the
assessment shall be documented into a checklist, so called Visual and Sampling Check Plan. Each listed
equipment, system, and area onboard should be analyzed and judged based on the document analysis
whether Hazardous Materials are contained, not contained or unknown
Through analysis of available documents and based on the collected information, it is impossible to inves-
tigate all equipment and areas. Therefore, it is necessary to make clear which equipments and areas
should be put into scope of investigation.
C.3 Preparation of the Visual and Sampling Check Plan
C.3.1 The Visual and Sampling Check Plan (VSCP) is an essential element of the IHM preparation
process. It is designed to be utilized for the whole IHM preparation process.
C.3.2 The VSCP should be prepared by the DNV GL Approved HazMat Expert using the IGS soft-
ware.
C.3.3 Results of the documentation assessment process regarding the presence or absence of haz-
ardous materials as well as further visual and sampling check activities conducted on board shall be
planned during the preparation process, and entries are made in the VSCP accordingly.
C.3.4 To avoid any incidents during check work, a schedule shall be established to eliminate inter-
ference between check work and other activities carried out on board or in that particular area of the ship.
C.3.5 The VSCP is shown in Appendix F – VSCP. The first part displays general information about
the ship. The second part of the VSCP includes information about the Visual and Sampling Check activi-
ties conducted on board. The columns in the VSCP are to be filled out as follows:
C.3.5.1 Location
Location type (zone, compartment) of the component (see. Appendix F, column 1). The name of the loca-
tions should be used as shown in the ship plans, because this will assure a clear structure and facilitate
later identification of entries in the IHM (e.g. deck A, bridge deck, cargo tank 1, accommodation room no).
C.3.5.2 Equipment
The functional main parts related to the entries under C.3.5.1. The installed equipment has to be specified
further (see Appendix F - VSCP, column 2).
C.3.5.3 Object to Check/Component

Specific equipment or one of its parts may be subject for more detailed investigations; these have to be
specified under the column “Object to Check/Component” (see Appendix F - VSCP, column 3).
Note:
For complex components, such as a main engine, the exact locations of the various related equipments
(e.g. intercooler, exhaust system of a main engine) have to be specified, i.e. a location called “engine
room” has to be detailed and specified further (sub-location).
C.3.5.4 Material/Expected HazMat

The specific hazardous materials which could be present in the identified “Object to Check/Component”
must be specified in the column “Material/Expected HazMat” (see Appendix F - VSCP, column 4).

Note:
Use of the “Indicative List of potential use of Hazardous Materials” can provide valuable information for
conducting the tasks according to C.3.5.4 (Appendix G – Indicative Lists of potential use of Hazardous
Materials’), even though it is not exhaustive or does not reflect all aspects.
C.3.5.5 Document Analysis Result

Assumed presence of hazardous material regarding Table A (Table B if information is available) should
be documented in the column “Document Analysis Result” (see Appendix F - VSCP, column 5).
 Results for presence of HazMats based on document analysis have to be marked as “contained”.
 Results for absence of HazMats based on document analysis have to be marked as “not contained”.
 Lack of clear information has to be marked as “unknown”.
Note:
Any item categorized as “unknown” in the VSCP preparation phase can be classed as “Potentially con-
taining hazardous material” (PCHM) when justification for this action is provided (e.g. inaccessibility of
location and no option for visual inspection or taking of samples) or when little or no effect on its disas-
sembly as a unit during later ship recycling and disposal operations can be assumed.
C.3.6 Check Procedure

For verification of the results obtained under C.3.5.5, a method is to be assigned by choosing the appro-
priate method in the column “Check Procedure” (e.g. selection of “visual check”, “sampling check”) (see
Appendix F - VSCP, column 6).
 Each equipment, system, and/or area on board should be inspected and analysed (visually or physi-
cally) regarding the presence of HazMats. Special attention is to be drawn to “unknown” presence of
HazMat and at least a visual inspection is required.
 For all results “Contained” or “Not contained” under step C.3.5.5, a “Sample Check”, or at least “Vis-
ual Check” must be chosen in the column “Check procedure”.
 Each item categorized as “unknown” should be part of at least a “Visual Check”.
 In cases where no clear identification is possible by a “Visual Check”, a “Sampling Check” is to be
conducted and the VSCP is to be amended accordingly.
 For all other cases where assumptions had to be made, these should be documented as “Assump-
tion”.
C.4 On board Visual and Sampling Check

Visual and Sampling Check work shall be conducted according to the VSCP. The information to be filled
in accordingly is described below.
C.4.1 Sample Number

For samples taken physically, a sample number allowing identification during further analysis and docu-
mentation work has to be assigned in the column “Sample No.” (see Appendix F - VSCP, column 7).
Note:
Check points should also be marked in the ship’s plan by adding the sample number.
C.4.2 Picture Number

For all physical samples and visual checks, a photo of the sampling point shall be taken and the number
of the photo should be noted in the column “Pic. No./Photo numbers” (see Appendix F - VSCP, column
8).
Whether or not it is necessary to take a photo can be decided by distinguishing between the following
cases:
 Sampling Checks: Photos shall be taken for all physical sampling checks.

 Visual Checks: For verification of assumptions made, a photo shall be taken. Visual verification of
identical materials does not require taking an extra photo.
Note 1:
In case visual inspection does not prove that identical materials have been used, additional visual checks
have to be made and/or physical samples taken. The VSCP is to be amended by the HazMat Expert ac-
cordingly.
Note 2:
Experts involved in the taking of samples have to be specifically trained for the task.
Note 3:
Samples should be taken from inconspicuous places. Sampling has to be conducted in a safe manner,
e.g. for asbestos, sharp tools should be used for taking samples and the sampling point should be mois-
turized to avoid scattering of asbestos fibres, or an alternative preventive measure is to be applied (e.g.
suction and filtering equipment). Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE, e.g. glasses, mask,
overalls and gloves) should be used for the taking of samples. Warning signs should be placed around
the sampling point to prevent crew members or passengers from becoming affected by any sampling
work. Samples should be kept in suitable air-tight cases. Sample points should be sealed after sampling
has taken place.
Note 4:
In case hazardous materials are identified on board that may directly threaten human health or the envi-
ronment, e.g. friable asbestos fibres, DNV GL and the onshore technical fleet management have to be
informed in writing by the HazMat Expert. The appropriate form is provided in Appendix H – Information
Form on Presence of Hazardous Conditions. The HazMat Expert should only provide advice on related
safety measures and, if applicable, how to clean the relevant location with appropriate safety and health
protection. He is not authorized to prescribe remedial measures!
C.5 Preparation of IHM Part I and related documentation
C.5.1 Check Result

The results for the presence or absence of hazardous materials by visual inspection or laboratory analy-
sis in the case of physical samples should be recorded in the column “Check Result” (see Appendix F -
VSCP, column 9).
In cases where it is impossible or impracticable to conduct visual or physical checks on board, “PCHM”
(Potentially containing hazardous materials) should be entered.
Example:
In order to carry out a sampling check for “Packing of Hydraulic Piping for Propeller Shafting” the check
would require that the shipowner disassembles the propeller shaft system. The costs for this check are
significantly higher than later disposal costs for a packing declared and thus handled as hazardous mate-
rial at a recycling facility. Also such packing of flanges containing asbestos could be safely dismantled by
cutting the pipe before and behind the relevant flange. This case can be used to justify the classification
as “Potentially containing hazardous material” without further sampling activity, as long as this justification
is documented in the resulting IHM.
Note 1:
For asbestos and organotin compounds, wide variation of the estimated quantity is likely. In order to min-
imize variations and ensure uniform application for the estimation of approximate quantity, HazMat Ex-
perts should consider their calculation methods carefully.
Note 2:
Laboratories performing analysis work should work according to the standards listed under D.

Note 3:
Items classified as “Potentially containing hazardous material” have to be handled and disposed as items
containing Hazardous Material during ship recycling. Due to the possible influence on the ship’s value
when sold for recycling, this option should be used carefully.
C.5.1.1 Types of samples and standardized analysis methods

Different types of samples and analysis methods can be chosen according to the applied analysis method
and purpose as described further below.
C.5.2 Mixed sample (MS)

A mixed sample contains a collection of various samples which can be homogenized and which have the
same functional and optical characteristics; they can originate from different systems. The aim of applying
the mixed sample method is to reduce the costs by reducing the number of analyses. The results can be
used for justification of the presence or absence of relevant hazardous materials but not for the exact
localization of such presence or absence.
C.5.2.1.1 Calculation of threshold levels for mixed samples
The threshold level for Hazardous Material has to be calculated for mixed samples with the following for-
mula
 HazMat Threshold Level of MD 

Result of Analysis    10%   Entry into IHM
 Number of Samples 
In case the result is equal to or above the calculated threshold level as shown above, each sample has to
be classified as “hazardous”, or these samples have to be analysed separately by using material of the
retained samples (see C.5.2.4). With this method, the distribution of hazardous materials on board can be
detected or their absence can be shown.
Note 1:
Mixing of samples and the analysis results are related to the recommended and applicable analysis
method:
Example 1:
Several samples of coating systems are taken from the outer ship’s hull, main deck and deck house and
a mixed sample is prepared for exclusion of PCB in these coating systems.
Example 2:
Samples are taken of various sealant materials for exclusion of the presence of asbestos.
Note 2:
If the absence of a specific hazardous material in a mixed sample cannot be proved explicitly by analysis
results, the material of the retained sample has to be used for a group sample, or separate samples have
to be analysed for more exact localization, more specific exclusion, and / or to reduce the areas of likely
presence of the hazardous materials on board the ship.
C.5.2.2 Group sample (GS):

A group sample is used for the analysis of multiple homogenizable samples with identical functional and
optical characteristics originating from the same system (homogenizable material).
C.5.2.2.1 Group samples are used to provide coverage of large areas of one functional system.
C.5.2.2.2 Analysis results are to be compared directly with the corresponding threshold levels without
further calculation.
Example:
Multiple samples of one coating system on main deck (system)

C.5.2.3 Comparison sample (CS)

A comparison sample is a collection of non-homogenizable samples with the same functional and optical
characteristics originating from the same system.
Example:
Multiple samples of equal insulation material of ceiling panels (system), visual comparison in laboratory,
and choosing of one sample which is used as being representative of the whole system.
The following table provides an overview for which purpose the different methods can be applied:
Type of sample One system Multiple systems

Homogenizable samples GS MS
Non- Homogenizable samples CS Mixing not appropriate
C.5.2.4 Retained sample (RS)

The amount of each sample taken should contain sufficient mass or volume to allow at least three anal-
yses. This is relevant for cases where later specification or limitation of the use of hazardous materials
may be required, when a sample cannot be specified in laboratories, or when a result is not as expected
and additional analysis becomes necessary.
The composition of retained samples can be characterized visually without further laboratory analysis.
They are used mainly as preservation of evidence in case of a lawsuit or in case more hazardous materi-
als are to be considered on the basis of future IMO decisions and amendments to the Convention or IHM
Guideline.
Example:
Sprayed asbestos in the form of blue asbestos is visually identified as a Hazardous Material and archived
as a “positive retained sample”. In contrast, glass fibres would be kept as a “negative retained sample”.
C.5.3 Approximate quantity

In cases where the presence of a HazMat is identified, the approximate quantity of the material containing
the HazMat should be provided in the column “Approx. Quantity” (see Appendix F - VSCP, column 10). A
distinction should be made between two different types of calculation or estimation of HazMat:
C.5.3.1 Contaminated material (separable)

The Hazardous Material is an independent part of a component.
By the application of proper methods, it can be separated from the carrying material or structure.
Example 1:
Insulation layer around a pipe system. The steel is potentially contaminated by the surrounding asbestos.
Example 2:
An inserted ceiling can be contaminated by asbestos fibres / dust.
C.5.3.2 Hazardous Material (non-separable)

The Hazardous Material is a structural component of the material and cannot be separated.
Example:
Asbestos fibres in coating systems which have been introduced to obtain specific attributes, e.g. strength
or fire-retardant characteristics.
C.5.4 Remarks
Additional remarks can be provided in the column “Remarks” (see Appendix F - VSCP, column 11). For
cases of inaccessibility, the remark “No access” should be inserted additionally.

C.5.5 IHM is prepared according to the analysis results and findings. The standard format for the
IHM of an existing ship is provided in Appendix I. A Hazardous Materials Location Plan should be pre-
pared as an attachment to IHM.
D Requirements for Laboratories

D.1 The analysis of the samples shall be carried out by suitable accredited laboratories working on
behalf of the HazMat Expert or HazMat Expert Company, e.g. ISO 17025, which shall provide a written
report that can be relied upon by all parties.
D.2 Analysis methods shall be in line with the IHM Guidelines, Resolution MEPC.197(62).
D.3 In case of comparable standards, their comparability has to be proven.
D.4 Prior to the analysing process, the analysis methods including pre-analysis have to be clarified
to avoid legal claims and to ensure comparable results.

A.2 Polychlorinated Biphenyls

World wide restriction of PCBs was begun by the Stockholm Convention which has come into effect on 17
May 2004. In some countries domestic control has started since 1973 which prohibits all production, use
and import of PCBs completely. Those addressed suppliers can provide accurate information concerning
their products. The “indicative List” of PCBs is shown below.
Table G.2 Indicative List for Polychlorinated Biphenyls
Equipment Component of equipment Period for use of PCBs

Transformer Insulating oil Until 1973
Condenser Insulating oil Until 1973
Fuel heater Heating medium Until 1973
Electric cable Covering, Insulating tape Until 1973
Lubricating oil Machinery Until 1973

A.3 Ozone Depleting Substances

Ozone Depleting Substances have been controlled according to the Montreal Protocol and MARPOL con-
vention. Almost all Substances are not to be used since 1996, but HCFC can still be used until 2020. The
“Indicative List” for Ozone Depleting Substances is as follows. Exceptions according to the Montreal Pro-
tocol have to be kept in mind, depending on where the components were manufactured.
Table G.3 Indicative List for Ozone Depleting Substances
Materials Component of equipment Period for use of ODS

CFCs Refrigerant for refrigerators Until 1996
Urethane formed material Until 1996
Blowing agent for insulation of LNG carriers ?
Halons Extinguishing agent Until 1994
Other fully halogenated The possibility of usage in ship is low. Until 1996
CFCs
Carbon tetrachloride The possibility of usage in ship is low. Until 1996
1,1,1-Trichloroethane The possibility of usage in ship is low. Until 1996
(Methyl chloroform)
HCFC Refrigerant for refrigerate machine It is possible to use it until 2020.
HBFC The possibility of usage in ship is low. Until 1996
Methyl bromide The possibility of usage in ships is low. Until 2005
A.4 Organotin compounds

Organotin compounds include Tributyl Tins (TBT), Triphenyl Tins (TPT) and Tributyl Tin Oxide (TBTO).
Organotin compounds have been used as anti-fouling paint on bottom of ship. Also Organotin compounds
have been used as antifouling media for fishing nets. “International Convention on the Control of Harmful
Anti-Fouling Systems on Ships (AFS Convention)” requires that all Ships shall not apply or re-apply or-
ganotin compounds after 1st January 2003, and also that all ships either shall not bear such compounds
on their hulls, or shall bear a coating that forms a barrier to such compounds leaching to sea after 1st
January 2008. Finally, the AFS Convention entered into force on 17th September 2008. The shipowner
who purchased a used ship must take particular note of the fact that a significant number of ships were
delivered with TBT anti-fouling paint regardless of AFS Convention.
A.5 Materials of Table B

The materials listed in Table B are exempted from being listed in the IHM Part I for existing ships obligato-
rily. However, if it could be identified without Sampling Check, those occurrences should be listed in the
IHM, as much as possible as it is supportive for the future ship recycling processes. The Indicative List of
Material listed in Table B is shown below.

Table G.4 Materials of Table B
Materials Component of equipment

Cadmium and Cadmium Compounds Nickel-cadmium battery, plating film, bearing, dye in plastic,
antirust protection, paint pigments, soldering tin, monochrome
display, PVC
