1 Introduction
1.1 Whilst under normal circumstances chapters 17 and 18 of the IBC Code take precedence over
List 1 of the MEPC.2/Circular, in this exceptional case the entries in Annex 1 – List 1: Pure and
technically pure products, which apply to “all countries” and no expiry date, supersede those in
the IBC Code.
1.2 This circular is issued in accordance with regulation 6(3) of Annex II to MARPOL 73/78,
replacing all previously issued circulars under this title.
2 Lists of annexes
2.1 Annexes 1 to 4 provide lists of noxious liquid substances (NLS) with associated categories
and minimum carriage requirements which have been established through Tripartite Agreements and
registered with the Secretariat in accordance with the regulation referred to above. Annexes 7 to 10
are intended to facilitate the reporting of Tripartite Agreements and the interpretation of
abbreviations used in annexes 1 to 4.
annex 4: List 4: Pollutant only mixtures containing one or more components, forming
more than 1% by weight of the mixture, which have not yet been assessed
by IMO;
annex 5: List 5: Substances not shipped in pure form but as components in mixtures;
∗
Although this circular is valid after 31 December 2006, it is being issued on 1 December 2006 to provide information
to Administrations for action as appropriate.

MEPC.2/Circ.12 -2-
3.1 Language
3.1.1 As seen in the lists, most products are trade-named substances under n.o.s. entries. Since
tradenames are not translated, the products are entered as notified and the lists are issued in
English only.
3.2.1 The list of country abbreviations mirrors that used in the Global Integrated Shipping
Information System (GISIS) which is based on the UN/Locode, a geographic code scheme developed
and maintained by the UNECE, a Unit of the United Nations. These codes are listed in annex 7:
Part 1 of that annex showing Code/Country and Part 2 showing Country/Code.
3.3 Shading
3.3.1 Amendments to the Tripartite Lists (annexes 1 to 4) are identified by shading the field in
which the change has been made.
3.4.1 The Marine Environment Protection Committee, at its fifty-second session, adopted the
revised Annex II to MARPOL 73/78 for the regulation for the discharge of Noxious Liquid
Substances, which includes restrictions on the types of cleaning additives allowed to be used in tank
washing operations as follows:
“13.5.2 When small amounts of cleaning additives (detergent products) are added to
water in order to facilitate tank washing, no additives containing pollution
category X components shall be used except those components that are
readily biodegradable and present in a total concentration of less than 10%.
No restrictions additional to those applicable to the tank due to the previous
cargo should apply.”
3.4.2 All cleaning additives evaluated by the BLG Working Group on the Evaluation of Safety and
Pollution Hazards of Chemicals (ESPH) and found to meet the requirements of paragraph 13.5.2 of
the revised Annex II to MARPOL 73/78 are consolidated into annex 10 of the MEPC.2/Circular.

-3- MEPC.2/Circ.12
4.1 Guidelines for the provisional assessment of liquids transported in bulk are set out in
MEPC.1/Circ.512. When notifying the Secretariat of any provisional assessment made under
Tripartite Agreement, Administrations are requested to:
4.2 As the majority of products notified are classified by the calculation method and are
candidates for List 2, it is particularly important to provide the information to IMO in a format that
will facilitate efficient and accurate transfer to the database used to generate the various lists
included in this circular.
4.3 For hard copies with candidates for List 2, the preferred method is to notify one product per
page in the following format:
Reporting Country :
Manufacturer :
Tradename :
List Number :
Contains Name :
Pollution Category (Cat) :
Ship Type (ST) :
n.o.s. Number :
Note: Incomplete data on a substance will result in the entry for its provisional assessment
being delayed while the application is returned to the originator.
4.4 For products being notified as candidates for Lists 1, 3 or 4, the format shown in appendix 3
to MEPC.1/Circ.512 is preferred.
4.5 While stressing the importance of correct data being supplied to the Secretariat, it should be
noted in particular that, when proposing a product for Lists 2 and 4, the component responsible for
the greatest pollution potential should be specified following the word “Contains” in the Shipping
Name. Such component is that with the highest value obtained from % x component factor. In the
event of there being more than one component with equal highest scores, discretion may be used in
deciding whether one or both should be identified (see MEPC.1/Circ.512). The name of the
component should be one of those appearing in chapters 17 or 18 of the IBC Code or those in Lists 1
or 5 of this circular.
I:\CIRC\MEPC\02\12.doc
MEPC.2/Circ.12 -4-
4.6 It should also be pointed out that any cargo offered for bulk shipment shall be indicated in the
shipping document by the product name under which it is listed in chapter 17 or 18 of the IBC Code
or the latest edition of the MEPC.2/Circular or under which it has been provisionally assessed. In
this respect, special attention should be given to BLG.1/Circ.17 regarding the use of the proper
shipping name in offering bulk liquid cargoes for shipment.
4.7 When shipping a pollution hazard only mixture, the appropriate n.o.s. entry in the IBC Code,
together with the tradename and product contained, would form the proper shipping name. For
example, if the trade name is IMO 1234 and it contains “Calcium long-chain alkyl salicylate (C13+)”
as the component with the greatest pollution potential, then the correct product name would be:
Noxious liquid, N.F., (5) n.o.s. (IMO 1234 contains Calcium long-chain alkyl salicylate
(C13+)) S.T. 2, Cat. Y
4.8 The Master of a type 2 ship certified to carry n.o.s. (5) products would then know that he can
accept the cargo without concern as to fire, toxicity and other safety hazards and that, in the event of
an accidental spill, he could report the name of the substance responsible for the pollution to the
coastal State authorities.
5.2 It would, therefore, be appreciated if Administrations could verify that information included
in annex 8 of this circular is correct and supply any useful additional information, for example,
e-mail addresses. As the Secretariat has only been supplied with the addresses listed, those
Administrations which have not supplied any focal point address are requested to do so. In this
respect, it should be noted that in future the tripartite agreement contact points will also be available
through the GISIS database.

_________________
* BLG 6 had agreed that, in the absence of measured chronic toxicity data, surrogate data using the GHS system to estimate missing chronic aquatic
toxicity data could be used and that the estimation of chronic toxicity would be determined as shown below:
1. if, in the GESAMP Hazard Profile, Col B2 is ‘NI’ or Col A1 is ‘NI’ or Col A2 is ‘NI’, then there are not enough data to apply
the OECD criteria, and therefore the product is deemed to be chronically toxic to aquatic organisms; but
2. if the aquatic LC50 is <100mg/l (Col B1 is 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6); and the product is Not Readily Biodegradable (Col A2 is ‘NR’) or
the product is bio-accumulated (Col A1 is 4, 5 or 6), then the product is deemed to have a chronic toxicity of <1mg/l which is
equivalent to a ‘1’ in column B2; otherwise
