ANNEX 12 RESOLUTION MSC.286(86) (adopted on 5 June 2009) RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS (MSDS) FOR MARPOL ANNEX I OIL CARGO AND OIL FUEL

THE MARITIME SAFETY COMMITTEE, RECALLING Article 28(b) of the Convention on the International Maritime Organization concerning the functions of the Committee, RECALLING ALSO that, at its seventy-sixth session, it approved the Recommendation for the use of a standard format for the cargo information required by chapter 16 of the IBC Code, RECALLING FURTHER that, at its seventy-seventh session, it adopted the Recommendation for material safety data sheets for MARPOL Annex I cargoes and marine fuel oils (MSC.150(77)), NOTING that, at its eightythird session, it adopted amendments to SOLAS regulation VI/5-1, by means of resolution MSC.239(83), making the provision of material safety data sheets (MSDS) mandatory prior to the loading of MARPOL Annex I type cargo in bulk and oil fuel, RECOGNIZING the importance of providing seafarers with clear, concise and accurate information on the health and the environmental effects of toxic substances carried on board tankers, RECOGNIZING ALSO the need to ensure a common understanding for an unambiguous implementation of SOLAS regulation VI/5-1, HAVING CONSIDERED the recommendation made by the Sub-Committee on Bulk Liquids and Gases at its thirteenth session, 1. ADOPTS: .1 the Recommendations for material safety data sheets (MSDS) for marine use suitable to meet the particular needs of the marine industry containing safety, handling, and environmental information to be supplied to a ship prior to the loading of MARPOL Annex I type oil as cargo in bulk and the bunkering of oil fuel, as set out in Annex 1 to the present resolution; and the Guidelines for the completion of MSDS for the MARPOL Annex I type oil as cargo in bulk and oil fuel, as set out in Annex 2 to the present resolution;

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS (MSDS) FOR MARINE USE SUITABLE TO MEET THE PARTICULAR NEEDS OF THE MARINE INDUSTRY CONTAINING SAFETY, HANDLING, AND ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION TO BE SUPPLIED TO A SHIP PRIOR TO THE LOADING OF MARPOL ANNEX I TYPE OIL AS CARGO IN BULK AND THE BUNKERING OF OIL FUEL Section 1 Heading Identification of the substance or mixture and of the supplier Content Name of the category see guidance in annex 2 for MARPOL Annex I type oil cargoes and oil fuels. The name of the substances. Trade name of the substances. Description on Bill of Lading (B/L), Bunker Delivery Note or other shipping document. Other means of identification. Suppliers details (including name, address, telephone number, etc.). Emergency telephone number. GHS* classification of the substance/mixture and any regional information. Other hazards which do not result in classification (e.g., hydrogen sulphide) or are not covered by the GHS. See Guidelines in annex 2. Common name, synonyms, etc. Impurities and stabilizing additives which are themselves classified and which contribute to the classification of the substances. The chemical identity and concentration or concentration ranges of all ingredients which are hazardous within the meaning of GHS and are present above their cut-off levels. Cut-off level for reproductive toxicity, carcinogenicity and category 1 mutagenicity is 0.1%. Cut-off level for all other hazard classes is 1%. See Guidelines in annex 2. Description of necessary measures, subdivided according to the different routes of exposure, i.e. inhalation, skin and eye contact and ingestion. Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed. Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment, if necessary.
