As per MEPC 269 (68) and EUSRR regulations 1257/2013, the inventory of Hazardous Materials Part I must always be appropriately maintained up to date during the operational life of the vessel.
The maintenance should also verify that the IHM, especially the location of hazardous materials, is consistent with the arrangements, structure and equipment of the ship, through on-board visual inspection. The maintenance should further verify that any decision by the shipowner to delete equipment, system and/or area previously classed as PCHM from part I of the IHM is based on clear grounds for believing that the equipment, system and/or area in question contain no hazardous materials. A new SOC or IC will be issued by administration if it after successful completion of renewal survey, in accordance with regulation 11of the annex to the convention.
