4 Information management
4.1 General requirements
Ship specific information on hazardous materials (HazMat) which are present on board is collected and
managed in the form of an inventory of hazardous materials (IHM). The process of gathering this information
differs between new and existing ships. However, in order to control the use of hazardous materials, the
person responsible for collecting this information in both new and existing ships shall:
a) ensure that prohibitions or restrictions for the installation or use of hazardous materials on board ships
are taken into consideration;
NOTE The Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships
(SR/CONF/45), Appendix 1 contains a list of prohibitions and restrictions.
b) prohibit or restrict the installation or use of hazardous materials on ships, while in ports, newbuilding
shipyards, ship repair yards, or offshore terminals;
c) take effective measures to ensure that ships comply with a) and b); and
d) supervise a system for maintenance of the material declaration (MD), the supplier's declaration of
conformity (SDoC) and IHM.
Information for ships regarding hazardous materials shall be controlled by continuous maintenance of the
initial or last verified/certified IHM. Each ship shall have on board a verified/certified IHM which shall be
verified or re-certified at least every five years.

4.2 Inventory of hazardous materials (IHM) requirements policy
4.2.1 Scope of the IHM
The IHM shall consist of three different parts, namely Part I, Part II and Part III, and be specific to each ship.
a) Part I lists materials contained in the ship structure or equipment. Materials which contain hazardous
materials listed in Tables A.1 and A.2 correspond to Part I. Once prepared and certified, the materials
listed in Part I shall be maintained during the whole lifecycle of a ship.
b) Part II lists operationally generated wastes. Items listed in Table B.1 correspond to Parts II and III of the
IHM. Part II shall be developed before the ship is destined to be recycled, or at the final voyage at latest.
c) Part III includes potentially hazardous materials that are listed in Tables B.1 and B.2, in stores and items
excluded from the IHM Part I which fall under the exclusions specified in Table B.2. It shall be developed
before the ship is destined to be recycled, or at the final voyage at latest.
4.2.2 Materials to be listed in the inventory
The related hazardous materials that can be found on board, including their location and quantity, are
grouped in the tables below as follows.
a) Table A.1 covers the materials contained in ship parts, equipment and systems which shall be listed in
the IHM Part I for new and existing ships.
b) Table A.2 covers the materials contained in ship parts, equipment and systems which shall be listed
in the IHM Part I for new ships and new installations. For existing ships, listing of these materials is
voluntary.
c) Table B.1 includes items which are potentially hazardous to the environment or human health and shall
be listed in IHM Parts II and III during preparations for recycling.
d) Table B.2 comprises goods which are not specifically designed for shipboard applications and can also
be widely found in normal household applications. Those items shall be listed in the IHM Part III during
preparations for recycling.
e) Similar materials or items that contain hazardous materials that potentially exceed the threshold value
can be listed together (not individually) on the IHM with their general location and approximate amount
specified there.
Table 1 shows the categorization and applicability of the IHM listed in Table A.1, A.2, B.1 and B.2 and how it
corresponds to the items listed in Tables A.1, A.2, B.1 and B.2.
[12]
Tables A.1, A.2, B.1 and B.2 correspond to Tables A, B, C and D in MEPC.379(80).
NOTE For additional requirements of EU regulation, refer to Annex C.

4.2.3 Exemptions—Materials not required to be listed in Part I of the inventory
Materials listed in Table A.2 that are inherent in solid metals or metal alloys, such as steels, aluminium,
brasses, bronzes, plating and solders, provided they are used in general construction, such as hull,
superstructure, pipes or housings for equipment and machinery, are not required to be listed in the
inventory.
Although electrical and electronic equipment is required to be listed in the inventory, the amount of
hazardous materials potentially contained in printed wiring boards (printed circuit boards) installed in the
equipment is not required to be reported in the inventory.
4.2.4 Standard format of the inventory
The standard format for the IHM is provided in Annex D. Examples of how to complete the inventory are
provided for guidance purposes only.
4.2.5 Revision to threshold values
Revised threshold values in Tables A.1 and A.2 should be used for IHMs developed or updated after the
adoption of the revised values and it is possible that they are not applied to IHMs which are existing and
under development. However, when entries describing materials are added to the IHM, such as during
maintenance, the revised threshold values should be applied and recorded therein.
4.2.6 Preparation of the IHM
The preparation of IHMs for new and existing ships differs.
For existing ships:
a) IHM Part I shall be prepared under the responsibility of the shipowner at an early stage and at the latest,
directly prior to recycling of the respective vessel;
b) the materials contained in Table A.1 shall be listed in the IHM Part I for existing ships;
c) the materials contained in Table A.2 should be listed as far as practicable;

d) the materials contained in Table A.2 shall be listed during IHM maintenance, after the initial preparation
of the inventory.
For new ships:
e) IHM Part I shall be prepared at the design and construction stage after getting suppliers’ documents
(including but not limited to MDs and SDoCs) by the shipyard and be delivered together with the ship, and
f) the materials contained in Tables A.1 and A.2 shall be listed in the IHM for new ships and new installations.
The maintenance of IHM Part I is required throughout the ship operational phase, especially during
repair and conversions, when any of the IHM information becomes obsolete or inaccurate. Parts II and
III shall be prepared prior to recycling.
4.3 Planning
4.3.1 IHM Part I for new ships
4.3.1.1 General
The shipyard is responsible for preparing the IHM for new ships. The shipowner shall include this
requirement in the ship building contract with the shipyard by making references to the applicable
regulations and conventions.
Part I of the inventory shall be developed at the design and construction stage by the shipyard. For relevant
items and orders, the shipyard shall request information from suppliers on the products' hazardous
materials content by the material declaration (MD) form (see Annex E) and the supplier's declaration of
conformity (SDoC) form (see Annex F). In order to provide this information to shipyards, suppliers shall
obtain information from their upstream suppliers and provide the requested information to downstream
suppliers or customers.
Suppliers to the shipbuilding industry shall make a statement in the form of the MD and SDoC for their
relevant supplied products and declare whether the materials listed in Tables A.1 and A.2 are present in
these products.
If the concentration of hazardous material in a homogeneous material is above its specific threshold levels
provided in MD for the materials listed in Table A.2, the quantity of the entire homogeneous material
containing hazardous material shall be listed in the MD. Installation of any substance listed in Table A.1
above the threshold is not permitted. For developing IHM Part I, the shipyard shall also specify the location
and quantity of the product, equipment, system, or machinery onboard. In case of a coating, it shall be
specified where this has been applied.
The development of Part I of the inventory is limited to the fixed equipment only (including those batteries
containing lead acid or other hazardous materials that are fixed in place). For loosely fitted equipment
(including those loosely fitted batteries, such as consumer batteries and batteries in stores), the continuity
of information is achieved by maintaining Part III of the inventory completed by the shipowner in the format
specified in Annex D, prior to the application for final survey.
As far as possible, all forms required for preparing IHM should be prepared, transmitted and processed
electronically. Hardcopies should be avoided as far as possible due to the high number of documents to be
handled.
4.3.1.2 Documentation of otherwise required information
Volumes of pipes and machinery containing hazardous materials listed in Table B.1 shall be documented
separately to enable the shipowner to prepare Part II or Part III of the IHM prior to recycling.

4.3.1.3 Requirements for shipyards
The shipyard shall establish, implement and maintain procedures for the preparation of IHM Part I, including:
a) identification of its relevant suppliers of coating systems, components, equipment and structural
elements and materials that are used during the construction of the ship,
b) requesting statements from these suppliers on whether the hazardous materials in Tables A.1 and A.2
are contained in the material declaration (MD),
c) ensuring that its suppliers provide complete and up-to-date information and, in case the threshold
levels have been reached, providing additional information on the presence of the hazardous material
like quantity (mass/volume) and its location within the supplied goods (applicable for components) in
the required form (MD),
d) ensuring that measures implemented by the suppliers for assuring accurate and up-to-date MDs are
described in the SDoC and other required entries are correct,
e) ensuring that references to the MDs and SDoCs of the suppliers are correct,
f) ensuring that the related forms are unchangeable and provided in electronic format (e.g. PDF files) from
suppliers (Annex E and Annex F provide example forms); entries shall be made in original electronic
form (no scans),
g) ensuring that, in cases where a supplier does not provide an appropriate SDoC electronically, a signed
hardcopy of the SDoC, or a scan thereof, is made available and archived by the shipyard,
h) ensuring that when the concentration of homogenous materials in products exceeds the related
threshold levels listed in Table A.1, products shall not be installed on a ship. If one or more materials
listed in Table A.2 are found to be present in concentrations above the specified threshold value
according to the MD, the products should be listed in the inventory,
i) ensuring that only properly filled in MDs and related SDoCs are accepted,
j) directly utilizing the information from suppliers and considering calculations to determine the amount
of materials used on board (e.g. for paints),
k) ensuring effective and accurate preparation of the IHM, which shall be certified by the flag state with
which the ship is registered, or by a recognized organization (e.g. classification society) which is
authorized by the flag state.
NOTE Before 26 June 2025, for any missing MD or SDoC, the presence of hazardous materials in the components
and materials can also be investigated by applying the methods applicable for existing ships.
The documentation regarding the presence or absence of hazardous materials shall be prepared in the form
of an MD, which shall be accompanied by an SDoC. Responsibility of the provided information lies with the
suppliers who prepare the MD and SDoC.
The structure for gaining information via relevant documents by shipyards from the suppliers and from their
supply chain (upstream suppliers) is shown in Figure 1. The purpose of a standardized approach throughout
supply chains is to ensure the reliability of the HazMat information by traceability. By using uniform forms
within supply chains, electronic data processing becomes possible. For example, by automatic combination
of MDs prepared by upstream suppliers (sub-MDs) into Tier I MDs (main-MDs), less re-typing and conversion
of information and forms is required, and information is handled more effectively.

Figure 1 — Overview of information chains
4.3.1.4 Requirements for suppliers
4.3.1.4.1 Material declaration
Suppliers shall establish, implement and maintain procedure(s) to:
a) ensure that for all their relevant products supplied to the shipping industry, a statement on the presence
or absence of materials listed in Tables A.1 and A.2 is provided in the form of an MD,
b) constantly evaluate their products in a detailed way for identifying relevant products and providing
accurate and up-to-date information on the presence of hazardous materials contained therein in form
of the product specific MD,
c) identify their supply chain and require sub-MDs as a basis for preparation of their own MDs,
d) ensure that up-to-date information is supplied by their supply chain,
e) identify missing information and establish a follow-up process for obtaining missing information,
f) make sure that each homogenous material is evaluated or analysed if used in a relevant product,
g) support a modular data management for allowing an individual combination of information required
due to product modifications,
h) clearly identify material in stock and related information from supply chains,
NOTE 1 In case there are mass articles from different suppliers, it is appropriate to evaluate the information
provided when the highest content of hazardous materials of Tables A.1 and A.2 is further utilized.
i) provide a unique ID-number for identification of MD,
j) ensure that the related SDoC is identified in the MD,
k) ensure that all information (see Table 2) and the forms required are available, maintained and provided
electronically, and
l) ensure that only the author may change or amend the content of MD forms. Any changes or amendments
by anyone other than the author of this form constitutes a breach of copyright law.
NOTE 2 As an exemption, when a shipbuilder purchases more material or products than what is installed on one
ship, the shipbuilder can fill in an “amount” column by themselves to specify what has been used for the particular
ship, as the suppliers usually do not know if the delivered material/product is used for one or more ships.

Material information
Quantification of hazard- The amount of hazardous material contained in one product shall be specified.
ous materials
Yes/No Statement on whether the hazardous material present is above or below the threshold
level; “Yes” or “No” shall be written.
If the entry is “Yes”, the following additional information is required:
Mass: mass of the homogenous material containing hazardous materials above the specific
threshold level
Unit: relevant unit of the given mass (e.g. gram, kilogram, milligram)
Information on where it is used: where exactly the hazardous material is used or addi-
tional useful information
In case the hazardous materials of concern are not contained above the related threshold
levels in Tables A.1 or A.2, a “No” entry is required
In order to identify the approximate quantity of hazardous materials, the standard unit used for hazardous
materials should be kg, unless other units (e.g. m for materials of liquid or gases, m2 for materials used in
floors or walls) are considered more appropriate. An approximate quantity should be rounded up to at least
two significant figures.
MDs shall be prepared by the suppliers even when no hazardous materials are contained above the related
threshold levels.
NOTE 3 Unintentional presence of hazardous materials in the form of trace contaminants does not fall under the
scope of MDs.
Any spare parts containing materials listed in Tables A.1 and A.2 that are above the threshold levels are
required to be listed in Part III of the inventory at a later stage by the shipowner.
Volumes of pipes and machinery containing hazardous materials listed in Table B.1 shall be documented
separately to enable the shipowner to prepare Part II or Part III of the IHM prior to recycling.
For assuring a unified and effective product data management, any relevant information within supply
chains should be based on the same SDoC and MD forms as far as practicable. The forms are legal statements
from suppliers and in case investigations are carried out, the source of information can easily be identified.
This can be legally relevant.
NOTE 4 For downstream suppliers of complex machinery and equipment, it can be beneficial to provide separate
MDs for major functional units. This can be achieved by defining system boundaries and preparing separate MDs
accordingly.
Where there is homogeneous material containing hazardous materials above the threshold levels listed in
Tables A.1 and A.2 received from the supply chain, the total amount of this material used for manufacturing/
production shall be documented in the MD. The related concentration of the hazardous material can be
provided as additional information under “Remarks”.

4.3.1.4.2 Supplier's declaration of conformity (SDoC)
The supplier shall establish a company policy on the management of the chemical substances in products
which the supplier manufactures or sells. This policy shall cover how information on chemical substance
content is obtained.
NOTE Legal requirements can apply to the management of chemical substances in products.
In procuring raw materials for components and products, sub-suppliers shall be selected following an
evaluation. The authenticity and validity of the information on the chemical substances they supply shall be
ensured. This policy may be incorporated into the quality management system recognized or accepted by
the Classification Society.
Suppliers shall establish, implement and maintain procedure(s) to:
a) prepare an SDoC for relevant products supplied by them,
b) provide an SDoC efficiently to requesting customers,
c) ensure that required information is provided in the SDoC (see Table 3),
d) create a unique ID number for identification of SDoC and allow it to be referenced by the MD,
e) ensure that the SDoC is signed by a representative; in the absence of a legally sound signature system,
the electronic SDoC shall be “signed” by typing in the name of the representative and a signed hardcopy
of the SDoC shall also be made available to the customer, and
f) ensure that all information and forms required are available, maintained and provided electronically.

4.3.2 Management of IHM Part I during operation
4.3.2.1 Responsibilities of shipowners
For existing ships, the shipowner is responsible for the preparation of the IHM.
The shipowner is also responsible for maintenance of the IHM during the ship's lifetime. This requirement is
independent of whether the IHM has been prepared for new ships or existing ships.
The shipowner shall establish, implement, and maintain procedures that ensure:
a) the IHM are prepared for their fleet in service;
b) approved HazMat expert personnel are involved in the IHM preparation processes with sufficient
knowledge and expertise in the fields of: HazMat identification, use of properly accredited laboratories,
shipboard technology, and preparation of the IHM;
c) available and useful information is provided to the HazMat expert;
d) a designated person is responsible for:
1) organizing the IHM preparation,
2) launching the initial and periodical certification of the IHM by a recognized organization,

3) informing the recognized organization that an additional survey is required in case of a major
conversion, repair or other occurrences,
4) maintaining the IHM,
5) ensuring that new installations on board existing ships are accompanied by MDs,
6) taking relevant national/international legislation into consideration,
7) preparing Part II and Part III of the IHM prior to recycling, and
8) making relevant information available to recycling company when recycling is envisaged.
Designated persons shall establish, implement and maintain procedures to:
e) measure on a regular basis the characteristics of the IHM;
f) establish and supervise a system to ensure Part I of the inventory is updated and to document dates of
changes, or new or deleted entries.
In case of conversion, repair, or other modifications and maintenance, all changes relevant for the IHM shall
be reflected in the existing IHM as well. It is the responsibility of the shipowner to delegate related tasks
which can be assigned via contractual arrangements to the yards carrying out the work.
4.3.2.2 Responsibilities of HazMat experts
The HazMat expert acts on behalf of the shipowner. The HazMat expert should establish, implement and
maintain procedures to:
a) ensure all available information on board is reviewed and evaluated in order to gain knowledge on the
presence of the HazMats in Tables A.1 and A.2 (as far as practicable);
b) prepare a visual/sampling check plan (VSCP) which will be the basis for on board checks (see Table 4);
c) perform on board checks according to VSCP and amend it if necessary;
d) take physical samples, preferably from non-eye-catching points;
e) inspect parts of the ship visually, where:
1) presence/absence of a hazardous material of concern is clear,
2) assumptions are to be verified,
3) taking of samples is not necessary or possible;
f) calculate the approximate quantity of HazMats in case they are present;
g) document related activities and check results in the VSCP;
h) prepare the IHM by using a completed VSCP.
In case visual inspection does not prove that equal materials have been used, additional visual checks or
physical samples shall be taken. The approved VSCP shall be amended by the HazMat expert accordingly, if
available.
Workers involved in the sampling of asbestos shall be protected by appropriate personal protective
equipment (e.g. dust-proof glasses, mask, clothes and gloves). Passengers, crew members and other persons
shall be protected from exposure to hazardous materials when sampling takes place. Before taking samples,
the sampling point should be prepared to avoid contamination, e.g. by moisturizing to avoid scattering of
asbestos fibres, and suction and filtering equipment. Warning signs should be placed around the sampling
point to prevent crew members or passengers from getting too close to the sampling work. Sharp tools
should be used for taking samples. Collected samples should be kept in air-tight cases. Sample points should
be sealed after sampling has taken place.

In case hazardous materials are identified on board, which can directly threaten human health or the
environment, e.g. versatile asbestos fibres, the body involved in certification of the IHM shall be informed
as well as the onshore technical fleet management in written form by the HazMat expert. An example of
