There are new 2015 guidelines for the development of the inventory of hazardous materials (IHM).
These are in Resolution MEPC.269 (68), which has been adopted by the marine environment protection committee (MEPC) of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO).
MEPC.269 (68) supersedes Resolution MEPC.197 (62) published in 2011.
Summarising the main changes that will influence the preparation and certification of the IHM, the international certification and classification society, DNV GL, said that they include revisions of threshold values, the bulk listing of common items, exemptions, loosely fitted equipment and the listing of radioactive sources.
