What is the Inventory of Hazardous Materials?

The Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) is a list of hazardous materials, waste and stores in a ship. It identifies their location and approximate quantities onboard the ship. As shown in the table below, Part I of the IHM is developed at the design and construction stage, and Part II and Part III are developed before a ship is recycled. However, Part I of the IHM for existing ships, whose building contracts have been placed before the entry into force of the Convention, is developed not later than 5 years after the entry into force of the Convention. The information provided by the IHM is utilized by ship recycling facilities in order to protect human health and safety and prevent environmental pollution.

Composition of the IHM

Part I		Part II	Part III
-	Materials contained in ship structure or equipment	Operationally generated waste	Stores
Time of Development	At delivery *Existing ships: not later than 5 years after the entry into force	Before recycling
Items to be listed in the IHM	Table A: Prohibited and/or restricted materials (Asbestos, PCBs, Ozon depleting substances, Anti-fouling compounds and systems) Table B: Hazardous materials (Cadmium, Hexavalent Chromium, Lead, Mercury, etc.) *Existing ships: as far as practicable	Table C: Potentially hazardous items (Garbage, cargo residues, etc.)	Table C: Potentially hazardous items (Stores) Table D: Regular consumable goods potentially containing Hazardous Materials (Domestic and accommodation appliances)

ClassNK’s Activity for Ship Recycling

ClassNK provides the following solutions so that stakeholders can smoothly implement the requirements of the Convention after its entry into force in the development and maintenance of the IHM.

ClassNK Guidelines, etc.

ClassNK issues “Guidelines for the Inventory of Hazardous Materials” corresponding to Ship Recycling Convention and EU regulations in order to clarify the procedure and requirements for issuance of the SOC. The Guidelines can be downloaded from “ClassNK MyPage” after the registration.
ClassNK MyPage Login > Guidelines

Development of the IHM for existing ships and Issuance of Statement of Compliance

For existing ship, Inventory can be developed by information analysis by Expert, instead of collecting Material Declaration (MD) and Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (SDoC). “Guidelines for the Inventory of Hazardous Materials”

A Visual Sampling Check Plan (VSCP) shall be submitted at least two weeks prior to the onboard visual sampling date.

Application Form：

E-mail：ihm@classnk.or.jp

In principle, ClassNK surveyor conducts a survey based on the VSCP reviewed by NK GCD, supported by experts. However the evidence to prove that the visual / sampling check is performed properly is shown in the following manners, the expert may be allowed to visual / sampling check on board by the expert alone.

At the time of the visual check, it is identified by photos that there is no change in the visual check plan developed by the document analysis (replacement, removal, or new installation of a device different from the device shown in the drawing) and such photos are well organized in investigation result table (checklist) of the IHM. If there is a change in the visual check plan, consider an appropriate investigation method and record the details of the change and the results of the investigation (photos are also attached), i.e., record the survey process for all items and attach photos as evidence.
At the time of the sampling check, place a sample in a vinyl pouch at the sampling point including the inside of the device, behind the wall. Then take a picture so that the identification number can be identified, and post it on the investigation result table (checklist) of the IHM.

If the ClassNK surveyor does not attend at the same time during the onboard visual / sampling check by experts, after the IHM has been reviewed by NK GCD, the IHM initial survey will be conducted at the opportunity such as a class periodical survey according to the shipowner's request. The SOC and IHM with approval stamp will be issued upon satisfactory completion of the IHM initial survey. Please note that any doubts regarding the consistency in the IHM and the ship may require further investigation, including sampling by experts.

Supplier’s Material Declaration (SMD) issued by Product Supplier

In the development of Inventory by information analysis, the manufacturer and model of each product are identified by documents such as drawings and visually checked on the ship. If Supplier's Material Declaration (hereinafter referred to as the declaration) by the product supplier is available and it is analyzed that the onboard device matches the contents of the declaration, the IHM may be developed regardless of the sampling check.

Japan Ship Machinery and Equipment Association (JSMEA) (hereinafter referred to as “JSMEA”) confirm that the listed company(in Japanese only) verified that the products do not contain any asbestos in accordance with methods laid down by JSMEA and issue the “Asbestos-Free Sticker” to the listed up products.
listed company (Japan Ship Machinery and Equipment Association (JSMEA))

Development of the IHM for new ships and Issuance of Statement of Compliance

Shipbuilders should develop the IHM for new ships in accordance with the format stipulated in the IMO Guidelines and based on the information obtained from the Material Declaration (MD) and Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) submitted by suppliers. In order to develop the IHM for new ships, shipbuilders and suppliers have to exchange and store a huge number of paper documents. It may be a serious burden for shipbuilders and suppliers. ClassNK developed “PrimeShip-GREEN/SRM” to facilitate IHM development utilizing a Cloud Computing System in cooperation with IBM. After registration to the system via Internet, the people who engaged in the development of the IHM, including shipbuilders and suppliers, are able to perform all necessary work for IHM development on the system website. For registration to “PrimeShip-GREEN/SRM,” please access the following URL, click “Register Organization” on the login page and input the necessary information. “PrimeShip-GREEN / SRM” also supports the development of IHM that meets the requirements of Article 5 of the EU Regulation.

Maintenance of IHM and Renewal of Statement of Compliance

Ship owners / ship management companies are required to properly maintain and update IHM Part I throughout the operational life of the ship, reflecting new installations containing Hazardous Materials and relevant changes in ship structure and equipment, considering the IMO Guidelines.
Please refer to the following technical information for more details.

2024/10/25　TEC-1334
Maintaining and updating part I of the Inventory during operations with the Hong Kong Convention (Ship Recycling Convention)

The Ship Recycling Convention does not specify a format for the maintenance procedures, ClassNK has made available an example of an IHM maintenance procedure document that meets the requirements on this website. You may download it using the following links.

An Example of Procedure to Maintain Part I of IHM (WORD)

ClassNK renews Statement of Compliance (SOC) for IHM after confirming that IHM is properly maintained and managed at the request from ship owner/manager.

Issuance of Statement of Compliance (SOC) for the IHM

After the entry into force of the Convention, ships shall only be recycled at ship recycling facilities authorized in accordance with the Convention. Ship recycling facilities will be required to develop a Ship Recycling Facility Plan (SRFP) to be authorized by the competent authority.

As an independent third-party verification body ClassNK issues a SOC to ship recycling facilities which verifies that they are in compliance with the Hong Kong Convention or other applicable standards, after confirming that the SRFP developed by the ship recycling facilities meet the requirements of the Convention and that the facilities are carrying out recycling procedures in accordance with their SRFP. The scope of the verification includes prevention of adverse effects to human health and the environment, safe and environmentally sound management of hazardous materials, emergency preparedness and response, worker safety and training, reporting on incidents/accidents/occupational diseases/chronic effects, initial notification and reporting, and ship recycling plan. ClassNK verification frameworks consist of an Initial Audit by the on-site inspections carried out during the actual ship recycling process at the facility as well as thorough reviews of its document and management procedures, and Periodical Audits to verify that the SRFP and related systems are effectively implemented. Any non-conformities found in a Periodical Audit are subject to an Additional Audit and may result in suspension or invalidation of the SOC. ClassNK has so far issued SOCs to the following ship recycling facilities around the globe based on its purely technical verification, and paved the way to extend safe and environmentally sound ship recycling practice in line with the international standard.
