MEPC.2/Circular
Background/Introduction
1
BLG 9 reiterated its earlier view that, for the sake of transparency, all recognized
synonyms for vegetable oils and animal fats should be shown within an official IMO document
and agreed that these should be reflected in a separate annex to the MEPC.2/Circular, which is
published annually in December (BLG 9/17, paragraph 3.26). In this context, the
Sub-Committee also agreed that any proposed synonym should be listed in the GESAMP/EHS
product data reporting form when a product is submitted to the GESAMP/EHS Working Group
for evaluation.
Details of the proposal
2
Attached at annex is a proposed list of product names for vegetable oils that shall be used
in the shipping document for a cargo offered for bulk shipment under the amended IBC Code,
and their associated synonyms that should be included in an annex to the MEPC.2/Circular to be
published in December 2006 and annually thereafter.
3
The attached list of synonyms is based on the submissions made to the GESAMP/EHS
Working Group and agreed by the ESPH Working Group for inclusion in chapter 17 of the
amended IBC Code. The synonyms listed at annex were included on the product data reporting
forms of vegetable oils evaluated by the GESAMP/EHS Working Group.
For reasons of economy, this document is printed in a limited number. Delegates are
kindly asked to bring their copies to meetings and not to request additional copies.
