18.1 The following are products which have been reviewed for their safety and
pollution hazards and determined not to present hazards to such an extent as to
warrant application of the Code.
18.2 Although the products listed in this chapter fall outside the scope of the Code,
the attention of Administrations is drawn to the fact that some safety precautions
may be needed for their safe transportation. Accordingly, Administrations shall
prescribe appropriate safety requirements.
18.3 Some liquid substances are identified as falling into Pollution Category Z and,
therefore, subject to certain requirements of MARPOL Annex II.
18.4 Liquid mixtures which are assessed or provisionally assessed under regulation
6.3 of MARPOL Annex II as falling into Pollution Category Z or OS, and which do not
present safety hazards, may be carried under the appropriate entry in this chapter
