    ANNEX 1

    DRAFT REVISED MSC-MEPC.5/CIRC.7

    GUIDANCE ON THE TIMING OF REPLACEMENT OF EXISTING CERTIFICATES BY


    REVISED CERTIFICATES AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE ENTRY INTO FORCE OF
    AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTERS 17 AND 18 OF THE IBC CODE

    1 The Marine Environment Protection Committee, at its [seventy-fifth session (dates to


    be inserted)] and the Maritime Safety Committee, at its [102nd session (dates to be inserted)]
    reviewed the matter of the replacement of an existing International Certificate of Fitness for the
    Carriage of Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk ("certificate") by a revised certificate that is required
    to be issued as a consequence of amendments to chapters 17 and 18 of the International Code
    for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk
    (IBC Code).

    2 Both Committees agreed to approve the following guidance, which for the matter
    described in paragraph 1 above can be used in place of the provisions of MSC-MEPC.5/Circ.6,
    with regard to the replacement of an existing certificate by a revised certificate that is issued
    before the entry into force of amendments to the IBC Code:

    .1 the issuance of the revised certificate may be initiated from the date of
    adoption (the later of the adoption dates by MSC or MEPC, as the case
    may be) of the IBC Code amendments, rather than the date of entry into force
    of the amendments;

    .2 the revised certificate should have the same expiry date as the existing
    certificate; and

    .3 the revised certificate should be provided with a stamp/text on the front page
    stating that the revised certificate is effective, and supersedes the existing
    certificate, on the date of entry into force of the amendments to the IBC Code.

    3 As an illustrative example of paragraph 2 above, the attached diagram explains two


    scenarios:

    .1 Scenario 1 is an example of a renewal survey carried out between the adoption


    date and the entry-into-force date of the amendments to the IBC Code; and

    .2 Scenario 2 is an example of an existing certificate that is valid beyond the


    entry-into-force date.

    4 The Committees noted that the above arrangements should facilitate a smooth and
    practical implementation scheme for the worldwide fleet of chemical carriers that might require
    to have revised certificates immediately upon the entry into force of the amendments to the
    IBC Code.

    5 When a cargo is loaded prior to the entry-into-force date and unloaded after the
    entry-into-force date of the amendments to the IBC Code, the relevant provisions of the
    IBC Code at the time of loading should be applicable until the cargo has been unloaded.

    6 Member Governments are invited to bring this circular to the attention of all parties
    concerned, in particular masters, shipowners and port State control officers.

    7 This circular revokes MSC-MEPC.5/Circ.7.
