IHM investigation of harmful substances in ships
The IHM Laboratory for Chemical Product Line of Shenzhen Lixun Testing Co., Ltd. is a globally leading one-stop laboratory covering 16 hazardous substance tests. It has been accredited by domestic and foreign classification societies such as China Classification Society (CCS) and Det Norske Veritas (DNV). The IHM investigation service for hazardous substances on ships provides investigation, testing, inspection, and certification services for the List of Hazardous Substances on Ships (IHM) in accordance with EU Regulation 1257/2013 and the Hong Kong Convention. Ensure compliance with the convention while guiding shipyards/shipowners to meet the requirements of issuing and signing IHM international certificates and international suitable dismantling certificates by classification societies.
▲ China Classification Society Accreditation Certificate
▲ Certificate of Accreditation from Det Norske Veritas
Service background
What is Ship IHM
If harmful substances are not properly managed, they will affect our lives and the environment, so harmful substances are considered to be managed and recycled throughout the entire ship lifecycle, from supply chain, new shipbuilding, operational ships to final ship dismantling. Although the convention still uses the concept of "Green Passport" as the main means of operation, the term itself is no longer in use. At present, the term "Hazardous Substance Inventory" (IHM) has gradually been used instead. Although the essence of the two is the same, the first part of IHM still covers the entire life cycle of ships from construction, operation to end-of-life disposal preparation work. EU regulations require EU member state flag vessels and non EU member state vessels calling at EU member state ports or anchorages to hold a list of hazardous substances and undergo inspections required by the regulations. The Hong Kong Convention will come into effect on June 26, 2025, and a mandatory IHM list of hazardous substances for new shipbuilding vessels. As of now, a total of 23 countries have ratified the Hong Kong Convention, including Liberia, Bangladesh, Belgium, Republic of Congo, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Ghana, India, Japan, Luxembourg, Malta, Kingdom of the Netherlands, Bangladesh, Norway, Panama, Portugal, Sao Tome and Principe, Serbia, Spain, and Turkey.
