ANNEX
2015 GUIDELINES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE
INVENTORY OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Objectives
These guidelines provide recommendations for developing the
Inventory of Hazardous Materials (hereinafter referred to as "the
Inventory" or "the IHM") to assist compliance with regulation 5
(Inventory of Hazardous Materials) of the Hong Kong International Convention
for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships, 2009 (hereinafter
referred to as "the Convention").
1.2 Application
These guidelines have been developed to provide relevant
stakeholders (e.g. shipbuilders, equipment suppliers, repairers, shipowners and
ship management companies) with the essential requirements for the practical
and logical development of the Inventory.
1.3 Objectives
The objectives of the Inventory are to provide ship-specific
information on the actual hazardous materials present on board, in order to
protect health and safety and to prevent environmental pollution at ship
recycling facilities. This information will be used by the ship recycling
facilities in order to decide how to manage the types and amounts of materials
identified in the Inventory of Hazardous Materials (regulation 9 of the
Convention).
2 DEFINITIONS
The terms used in these guidelines have the same meaning as those
defined in the Convention, with the following additional definitions which
apply to these guidelines only.
2.1 Exemption
(as referred to in regulation 5 of the Convention) means materials specified in
paragraph 3.3 in these guidelines that do not need to be listed on the IHM,
even if such materials or items exceed the IHM threshold values.
2.2 Fixed means
the conditions that equipment or materials are securely fitted with the ship,
such as by welding or with bolts, riveted or cemented, and used at their
position, including electrical cables and gaskets.
2.3 Homogeneous
material means a material of uniform composition throughout that cannot be
mechanically disjointed into different materials, meaning that the materials
cannot, in principle, be separated by mechanical actions such as unscrewing,
cutting, crushing, grinding and abrasive processes.
2.4 Loosely fitted equipment
means equipment or materials present on board the ship by the conditions other
than "fixed", such as fire extinguishers, distress flares, and
lifebuoys.
2.5 Product
means machinery, equipment, materials and applied coatings on board a ship.
2.6 Supplier
means a company which provides products; which may be a manufacturer, trader or
agency.
2.7 Supply chain
means the series of entities involved in the supply and purchase of materials
and goods, from raw materials to final product.
2.8 Threshold value
is defined as the concentration value in homogeneous materials.
3 REQUIREMENTS FOR
THE INVENTORY
3.1 Scope of the Inventory
The Inventory consists of:
Part I: Materials contained in ship
structure or equipment;
Part II: Operationally generated wastes;
and
Part III: Stores.
3.2 Materials to be listed in the Inventory
3.2.1 Appendix
1 of these guidelines (Items to be listed in the Inventory of Hazardous
Materials), provides information on the hazardous materials that may be found
on board a ship. Materials set out in appendix 1 should be listed in the
Inventory. Each item in appendix 1 of these guidelines is classified under
tables A, B, C or D, according to its properties:
.1 table A comprises the materials listed in
appendix 1 of the Convention;
.2 table B comprises the materials listed in
appendix 2 of the Convention;
.3 table C (Potentially hazardous items)
comprises items which are potentially hazardous to the environment and human
health at ship recycling facilities; and
.4 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.
3.2.2 Tables A and B
correspond to part I of the Inventory. Table C corresponds to parts II and III
and table D corresponds to part III.
3.2.3 For loosely fitted
equipment, there is no need to list this in part I of the Inventory. Such
equipment which remains on board when the ship is recycled should be listed in
part III.
3.2.4 Those batteries
containing lead acid or other hazardous materials that are fixed in place
should be listed in part I of the Inventory. Batteries that are loosely fitted,
which includes consumer batteries and batteries in stores, should be listed in
part III of the Inventory.
3.2.5 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 (hereinafter referred to as
"bulk listing"). An example of how to list those materials and items
is shown in row 3 of table 1 of appendix 3.
3.3 Exemptions –
Materials not required to be listed in the Inventory
3.3.1 Materials listed in
Table B 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.
3.3.2 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 does not need to be reported in the
Inventory.
3.4 Standard format of
the Inventory of Hazardous Materials
The Inventory should be developed on the basis of the standard
format set out in appendix 2 of these guidelines: Standard format of the
Inventory of Hazardous Materials. Examples of how to complete the Inventory are
provided for guidance purposes only.
3.5 Revision to threshold values
Revised threshold values in tables A and
B of appendix 1 should be used for IHMs developed or updated after the adoption
of the revised values and need not be applied to existing IHMs and IHMs under
development. However, when materials are added to the IHM, such as during
maintenance, the revised threshold values should be applied and recorded in the
IHM.
4 REQUIREMENTS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THE INVENTORY
4.1 Development of part I of the Inventory for new ships1
_______________________________
1 In ascertaining whether a ship is a
"new ship" or an "existing ship" according to the
Convention, the term "a similar stage of construction" in regulation
1.4.2 of the annex to the Convention means the stage at which:
.1 construction identifiable with a specific
ship begins: and
.2 assembly of that ship has commenced comprising
at least 50 tonnes or 1% of the estimated mass of all structural material,
whichever is less.
4.1.1 Part
I of the Inventory for new ships should be developed at the design and
construction stage.
4.1.2 Checking of
materials listed in table A
During the
development of the Inventory (part I), the presence of materials listed in
table A of appendix 1 should be checked and confirmed; the quantity and
location of table A materials should be listed in part I of the Inventory. If
such materials are used in compliance with the Convention, they should be
listed in part I of the Inventory. Any spare parts containing materials listed
in table A are required to be listed in part III of the Inventory.
4.1.3 Checking of materials listed in table B
If materials
listed in table B of appendix 1 are present in products above the threshold
values provided in table B, the quantity and location of the products and the
contents of the materials present in them should be listed in part I of the
Inventory. Any spare parts containing materials listed in table B are required
to be listed in part III of the Inventory.
4.1.4 Process for
checking of materials
The checking
of materials as provided in paragraphs 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above should be based on
the Material Declaration furnished by the suppliers in the shipbuilding supply
chain (e.g. equipment suppliers, parts suppliers, material suppliers).
4.2 Development of part I of the Inventory for existing ships
4.2.1 In order to achieve comparable results for
existing ships with respect to part I of the Inventory, the following procedure
should be followed:
.1 collection of necessary information;
.2 assessment of collected information;
.3 preparation of visual/sampling check plan;
.4 onboard visual check and sampling check;
and
.5 preparation of part I of the Inventory and
related documentation.
4.2.2 The determination of hazardous materials
present on board existing ships should, as far as practicable, be conducted as
prescribed for new ships, including the procedures described in sections 6 and
7 of these guidelines. Alternatively, the procedures described in this section
may be applied for existing ships, but these procedures should not be used for
any new installation resulting from the conversion or repair of existing ships
after the initial preparation of the Inventory.
4.2.3 The procedures described in this section
should be carried out by the shipowner, who may draw upon expert assistance.
Such an expert or expert party should not be the same as the person or
organization authorized by the Administration to approve the Inventory).
4.2.4 Reference is made to appendix 4 (Flow diagram
for developing part I of the Inventory for existing ships) and appendix 5
(Example of development process for part I of the Inventory for existing ships.
4.2.5 Collection of
necessary information (step 1)
The
shipowner should identify, research, request and procure all reasonably
available documentation regarding the ship. Information that will be useful
includes maintenance, conversion and repair documents; certificates, manuals,
ship's plans, drawings and technical specifications; product information data
sheets (such as Material Declarations); and hazardous material inventories or recycling
information from sister ships. Potential sources of information could include
previous shipowners, the ship builder, historical societies, classification
society records and ship recycling facilities with experience working with
similar ships.
4.2.6 Assessment of collected information (step
2)
The
information collected in step 1 above should be assessed. The assessment should
cover all materials listed in table A of appendix 1; materials listed in table
B should be assessed as far as practicable. The results of the assessment
should be reflected in the visual/sampling check plan.
4.2.7 Preparation of
visual/sampling check plan (step 3)
4.2.7.1 To specify the materials listed in
appendix 1 of these guidelines, a visual/sampling check plan should be prepared
taking into account the collated information and any appropriate expertise. The
visual/sampling check plan should be based on the following three lists:
.1 List of equipment,
system and/or area for visual check (any equipment, system and/or area
specified regarding the presence of the materials listed in appendix 1 by
document analysis should be entered in the List of equipment, system and/or
area for visual check);
.2 List of equipment,
system and/or area for sampling check (any equipment, system and/or area which
cannot be specified regarding the presence of the materials listed in appendix
1 by document or visual analysis should be entered in the List of equipment,
system and/or area as requiring sampling check. A sampling check is the taking
of samples to identify the presence or absence of hazardous material contained
in the equipment, systems, and/or areas, by suitable and generally accepted
methods such as laboratory analysis); and
.3 List of equipment,
system and/or area classed as "potentially containing hazardous
material" (any equipment, system and/or area which cannot be specified
regarding the presence of the materials listed in appendix 1 by document
analysis may be entered in the List of equipment, system and/or area classed as
"potentially containing hazardous material" without the sampling
check. The prerequisite for this classification is a comprehensible
justification such as the impossibility of conducting sampling without
compromising the safety of the ship and its operational efficiency).
4.2.7.2 Visual/sampling checkpoints should
be all points where:
.1 the presence of materials to be considered
for the Inventory part I as listed in appendix 1 is likely;
.2 the documentation is not specific; or
.3 materials of uncertain composition were
used.
4.2.8 Onboard
visual/sampling check (step 4)
4.2.8.1 The onboard visual/sampling check
should be carried out in accordance with the visual/sampling check plan. When a
sampling check is carried out, samples should be taken and the sample points
should be clearly marked on the ship plan and the sample results should be
referenced. Materials of the same kind may be sampled in a representative
manner. Such materials are to be checked to ensure that they are of the same
kind. The sampling check should be carried out drawing upon expert assistance.
4.2.8.2 Any uncertainty regarding the
presence of hazardous materials should be clarified by a visual/sampling check.
Checkpoints should be documented in the ship's plan and may be supported by
photographs.
4.2.8.3 If the equipment, system and/or area
of the ship are not accessible for a visual check or sampling check, they
should be classified as "potentially containing hazardous material".
The prerequisite for such classification should be the same prerequisite as in
section 4.2.7. Any equipment, system and/or area classed as "potentially
containing Hazardous Material" may be investigated or subjected to a
sampling check at the request of the shipowner during a later survey (e.g.
during repair, refit or conversion).
4.2.9 Preparation of part
I of the Inventory and related documentation (step 5)
If any
equipment, system and/or area is classed as either "containing hazardous
material" or "potentially containing hazardous material", their
approximate quantity and location should be listed in part I of the Inventory.
These two categories should be indicated separately in the "Remarks"
column of the Inventory.
4.2.10 Testing methods
4.2.10.1 Samples may be tested by a variety of
methods. "Indicative" or "field tests" may be used when:
.1 the likelihood of a hazard is high;
.2 the test is expected to indicate that the
hazard exists; and
.3 the sample is being tested by
"specific testing" to show that the hazard is present.
4.2.10.2 Indicative or field tests are quick,
inexpensive and useful on board the ship or on site, but they cannot be
accurately reproduced or repeated, and cannot identify the hazard specifically,
and therefore cannot be relied upon except as "indicators".
4.2.10.3 In all other cases, and in order to
avoid dispute, "specific testing" should be used. Specific tests are
repeatable, reliable and can demonstrate definitively whether a hazard exists
or not. They will also provide a known type of the hazard. The methods
indicated are found qualitative and quantitative appropriate and only testing
methods to the same effect can be used. Specific tests are to be carried out by
a suitably accredited laboratory, working to international standards2
or equivalent, which will provide a written report that can be relied upon by
all parties.
____________________________
2 For example ISO 17025.
4.2.10.4 Specific test methods for appendix 1
materials are provided in appendix 9.
4.2.11 Diagram of the
location of hazardous materials on board a ship
Preparation
of a diagram showing the location of the materials listed in table A is
recommended in order to help ship recycling facilities gain a visual
understanding of the Inventory.
4.3 Maintaining and updating part I of the Inventory during
operations
4.3.1 Part I of the Inventory should be
appropriately maintained and updated, especially after any repair or conversion
or sale of a ship.
4.3.2 Updating of part I
of the Inventory in the event of new installation
If any
machinery or equipment is added to, removed or replaced or the hull coating is
renewed, part I of the Inventory should be updated according to the
requirements for new ships as stipulated in paragraphs 4.1.2 to 4.1.4. Updating
is not required if identical parts or coatings are installed or applied.
4.3.3 Continuity of part
I of the Inventory
Part I of
the Inventory should belong to the ship and the continuity and conformity of
the information it contains should be confirmed, especially if the flag, owner
or operator of the ship changes.
4.4 Development of part II of the Inventory (operationally
generated waste)
4.4.1 Once the decision to recycle a ship has been
taken, part II of the Inventory should be developed before the final survey,
taking into account that a ship destined to be recycled shall conduct
operations in the period prior to entering the Ship Recycling Facility in a
manner that minimizes the amount of cargo residues, fuel oil and wastes
remaining on board (regulation 8.2 of the Convention).
4.4.2 Operationally
generated wastes to be listed in the Inventory
If the wastes listed in part II of the Inventory provided in table
C (Potentially hazardous items) of appendix 1 are intended for delivery with
the ship to a ship recycling facility, the quantity of the operationally
generated wastes should be estimated and their approximate quantities and
locations should be listed in part II of the Inventory.
4.5 Development of part III of the Inventory (stores)
4.5.1 Once the decision to recycle has been taken,
part III of the Inventory should be developed before the final survey, taking
into account the fact that a ship destined to be recycled shall minimize the
wastes remaining on board (regulation 8.2 of the Convention). Each item listed
in part III should correspond to the ship's operations during its last voyage.
4.5.2 Stores to be listed
in the Inventory
If the
stores to be listed in part III of the Inventory provided in table C of
appendix 1 are to be delivered with the ship to a ship recycling facility, the
unit (e.g. capacity of cans and cylinders), quantity and location of the stores
should be listed in part III of the Inventory.
4.5.3 Liquids and gases
sealed in ship's machinery and equipment to be listed in the Inventory
If any
liquids and gases listed in table C of appendix 1 are integral in machinery and
equipment on board a ship, their approximate quantity and location should be
listed in part III of the Inventory. However, small amounts of lubricating oil,
anti-seize compounds and grease which are applied to or injected into machinery
and equipment to maintain normal performance do not fall within the scope of
this provision. For subsequent completion of part III of the Inventory during
the recycling preparation processes, the quantity of liquids and gases listed
in table C of appendix 1 required for normal operation, including the related
pipe system volumes, should be prepared and documented at the design and
construction stage. This information belongs to the ship, and continuity of
this information should be maintained if the flag, owner or operator of the
ship changes.
4.5.4 Regular consumable
goods to be listed in the Inventory
Regular consumable
goods, as provided in table D of appendix 1 should not be listed in part I or
part II but should be listed in part III of the Inventory if they are to be
delivered with the ship to a Ship Recycling Facility. A general description
including the name of item (e.g. TV set), manufacturer, quantity and location
should be entered in part III of the Inventory. The check on materials provided
for in paragraphs 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 of these guidelines does not apply to regular
consumable goods.
4.6 Description of location of hazardous materials on board
The
locations of hazardous materials on board should be described and identified
using the name of location (e.g. second floor of engine-room, bridge DK, APT,
No.1 cargo tank, frame number) given in the plans (e.g. general arrangement,
fire and safety plan, machinery arrangement or tank arrangement).
4.7 Description of approximate quantity of hazardous materials
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. m3
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.
5 REQUIREMENTS FOR
ASCERTAINING THE CONFORMITY OF THE INVENTORY
5.1 Design and construction stage
The conformity of part I of the
Inventory at the design and construction stage should be ascertained by
reference to the collected Supplier's Declaration of Conformity described in
section 7 and the related Material Declarations collected from suppliers.
5.2 Operational stage
Shipowners should implement the
following measures in order to ensure the conformity of part I of the
Inventory:
.1 to designate a person as responsible for
maintaining and updating the Inventory (the designated person may be employed
ashore or on board);
.2 the designated person, in order to
implement paragraph 4.3.2, should establish and supervise a system to ensure
the necessary updating of the Inventory in the event of new installation;
.3 to maintain the Inventory including dates
of changes or new deleted entries and the signature of the designated person;
and
.4 to provide related documents as required
for the survey or sale of the ship.
6 MATERIAL DECLARATION

4 In
accordance with regulation 4 of the Convention, for all ships, new installation
of materials which contain asbestos shall be prohibited. According to the UN
recommendation "Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling
of Chemicals (GHS)" adopted by the United Nations Economic and Social
Council's Sub-Committee of Experts on the Globally Harmonized System of
Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (UNSCEGHS), the UN's Sub-Committee of
Experts, in 2002 (published in 2003), carcinogenic mixtures classified as
Category 1A (including asbestos mixtures) under the GHS are required to be
labelled as carcinogenic if the ratio is more than 0.1%. However, if 1% is
applied, this threshold value should be recorded in the Inventory and, if
available, the Material Declaration and can be applied not later than five
years after the entry into force of the Convention. The threshold value of 0.1%
need not be retroactively applied to those Inventories and Material
Declarations.
5 In
accordance with regulation 4 of the Convention, for all ships, new installation
of materials which contain PCBs shall be prohibited. The Organization set 50
mg/kg as the threshold value referring to the concentration level at which
wastes, substances and articles containing, consisting of or contaminated with
PCB are characterized as hazardous under the Basel Convention.
6 "No threshold value" is in
accordance with the Montreal Protocol for reporting ODS. Unintentional trace
contaminants should not be listed in the Material Declarations and in the
Inventory.
7 This
threshold value is based on the Guidelines for brief sampling of anti-fouling
systems on ships (resolution MEPC.104(49)).

Organization set 50 mg/kg as the threshold value referring to the concentration
level at which wastes, substances and articles containing, consisting of or
contaminated with PBB are characterized as hazardous under the Basel
Convention.
10 The
Organization set 50 mg/kg as the threshold value referring to the concentration
level at which wastes, substances and articles containing, consisting of or
contaminated with PCN are characterized as hazardous under the Basel
Convention.
11 All
radioactive sources should be included in the Material Declaration and in the
Inventory. Radioactive source means radioactive material permanently sealed in
a capsule or closely bonded and in a solid form that is used as a source of
radiation. This includes consumer products and industrial gauges with
radioactive materials. Examples are listed in appendix 10.
12 The

APPENDIX 3
EXAMPLE OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS FOR PART I OF THE INVENTORY FOR
NEW SHIPS
1 OBJECTIVE OF THE
TYPICAL EXAMPLE
This example
has been developed to give guidance and to facilitate understanding of the
development process for part I of the Inventory of Hazardous Materials for new
ships.
2 DEVELOPMENT FLOW
FOR PART I OF THE INVENTORY
Part I of
the Inventory should be developed using the following three steps. However, the
order of these steps is flexible and can be changed depending on the schedule
of shipbuilding:
.1 collection of hazardous
materials information;
.2 utilization of
hazardous materials information; and
.3 preparation of the
Inventory (by filling out standard format).
3 COLLECTION OF
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS INFORMATION
3.1 Data collection process for hazardous materials
Materials
Declaration (MD) and Supplier's Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) for products
from suppliers (tier 1 suppliers) should be requested and collected by the
shipbuilding yard. Tier 1 suppliers may request from their suppliers (tier 2
suppliers) the relevant information if they cannot develop the MD based on the
information available. Thus the collection of data on hazardous materials may
involve the entire shipbuilding supply chain (Figure 1).
