Document of compliance with the special requirements for ships carrying dangerous goods
under the provisions of regulation II-2/19 of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, as amended, and
of paragraph 7.17 of the 2000 HSC Code, as amended

  1. The Maritime Safety Committee, at its sixty-third session (16 to 25 May 1994), approved a
    standard format for the document of compliance required by regulation II-2/54.3 of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, as amended. The Committee further agreed that the period of validity of the document of compliance should not exceed 5 years and should not be extended beyond the expiry date of the valid Cargo Ship Safety Construction Certificate issued to the ship concerned under the provisions of SOLAS regulation I/12.

  2. The Committee, at its seventy-fifth session (15 to 24 May 2002), in view of the amendments
    to SOLAS chapter II-2, adopted by resolution MSC.99(73), approved a revised standard format for the document of compliance required by regulation II-2/19.4 of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, as amended, applicable as from 1 July 2002. This format is reproduced in MSC/Circ.1027.

  3. The Committee, at its seventy-ninth session (1 to 10 December 2004), recognizing the need
    to take into account the amendments to table 19.3 of SOLAS regulation II-2/19 which had been adopted by resolution MSC.134(76), decided that it was necessary to highlight the prohibition on stowage of class 5.2 dangerous goods under deck or in enclosed ro-ro spaces in documents of compliance required by regulation II-2/19 of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, as amended, for any ship built on or after 1 July 2004 when issuing or renewing the said documents.

  4. The Committee, recognizing also that this prohibition on stowage under the IMDG Code also applies to all ships built before 1 July 2004 and subject to regulation II-2/19 (or II-2/54) of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, as amended, also decided that the prohibition on stowage should be taken into account when renewing documents of compliance for:
    1. any passenger ship built on or after 1 September 1984 and before 1 July 2004;

    2. any cargo ship of 500 gross tonnage or above built on or after 1 September 1984 and
      before 1 July 2004; and

    3. any cargo ship of less than 500 gross tonnage built on or after 1 February 1992
      and before 1 July 2004.

  5. Furthermore, the Committee, at the same session, agreed that the standard document
    of compliance format set out in MSC/Circ.1027 should be used when renewing documents of ships subject to SOLAS regulation II-2/54 applicable before 1 July 2002, and that in such cases the references to regulations II-2/19 and II-2/19.4 appearing in the standard format should be replaced by references to regulations II-2/54 and II-2/54.3 respectively.

  6. The Committee, at its eighty-first session (10 to 19 May 2006), agreed the inclusion of a standard format for a document of compliance with special requirements for high-speed craft carrying dangerous goods as required by paragraph 7.17.4 of the 2000 HSC Code, although the draft amendments to the Code were not adopted.

  7. The Committee, at its eighty-fourth session (7 to 16 May 2008), in view of the envisaged adoption of the amendments to table 19.3 in SOLAS chapter II-2 and table 7.17-3 in the 2000 HSC Code, subsequently adopted by the Committee at its eighty-fifth session (26 November to 5 December 2008) by means of resolutions MSC.269(85) and MSC.271(85), respectively, approved revised standard formats for the document of compliance required by regulation II-2/19.4 of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, as amended, and by paragraph 7.17.4 of the 2000 HSC Code, as amended.

  8. The Committee, at its eighty-fourth session, confirmed that the period of validity of the document of compliance should not exceed:
    1. five years for cargo ships and should not be extended beyond the expiry date of the
      valid Cargo Ship Safety Construction Certificate issued to cargo ships concerned
      under the provisions of SOLAS regulation I/12; and

    2. one year for passenger ships and should not be extended beyond the expiry date of the
      valid Passenger Ship Safety Certificate issued to passenger ships concerned under the
      provisions of SOLAS regulation I/12.

  9. The Committee, at its eighty-fourth session, further agreed that:
    1. it is still necessary to highlight the prohibition on stowage of class 5.2 dangerous
      goods under deck or in closed ro-ro spaces when issuing or renewing documents
      of compliance according to the revised standard formats; and

    2. the revised standard formats should be used when renewing documents of compliance
      for existing ships subject to SOLAS regulation II-2/1.2.3 and that, in such cases, the
      reference to regulation II-2/19 appearing in the revised standard format should be
      replaced by “II-2/19.3 as applicable according to II-2/1.2.3”.

  10. The revised standard formats of the document of compliance recommended for use and
    acceptance by Member Governments and Contracting Governments to the 1974 SOLAS Convention and the 2000 HSC Code are set out in annex 1 and annex 2, respectively.

  11. Member Governments are invited to draw this circular to the attention of authorities
    responsible for issuing and renewing documents of compliance, bodies acting on behalf of these
    governments, and shipowners, ship operators and masters, with a view to harmonizing the practices of the various Administrations.

  12. Member Governments are also invited to draw this circular to the attention of authorities
    tasked by the port State with carrying out inspections of ships, and to recommend them to take the above into account when discharging their responsibilities.

  13. This circular supersedes MSC/Circ.1027 and MSC/Circ.1148.
