Management of IHM MDs & SDoCs for Maritime Suppliers
Overview
All maritime suppliers should provide Suppliers Declaration of Conformity (SDOC) and a Material Declaration (MD) for every supplied IHM Part 1 relevant product to ensure the vessels’ IHM is properly updated and maintained.These documents declare presence or absence of the hazardous materials above the respective threshold values, as listed in the Regulation EU 1257/2013 and MEPC.269(68), in the supplied product.
The suppliers will possibly require the same documentation from down-stream suppliers, ensuring a complete outline of material supplied onboard.
