IHM Part I

The Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) Part I is a structured system to control hazardous materials onboard ships and achieve compliance with the European Ship Recycling Regulation (EU SRR) and the Hong Kong Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships (HKC). Both of these regulations place responsibility on ship-owners, shipbuilders, suppliers, recycling facilities and national authorities to ensure the safe and environmentally viable management of hazardous materials as well as the sustainable recycling of ships.

A fundamental requirement of these regulations is the documentation of hazardous materials on board ships. Any new or existing ship of 500 GT or above, calling at any EU port or anchorage (regardless of flag), has to hold an IHM and related International Certificate of Inventory of Hazardous Materials (ICIHM) on board.
