Section Heading Content
1 Identification of the substance or mixture and of the supplier
  • Name of the category see guidance in annex 2 for MARPOL Annex I type oil cargoes and oil fuels.
  • The name of the substances.
  • Trade name of the substances.
  • Description on Bill of Lading (B/L), Bunker Delivery Note or other shipping document.
  • Other means of identification.

3 Composition/information on ingredients
  • Common name, synonyms, etc.
  • Impurities and stabilizing additives which are themselves classified and which contribute to the classification of the substances.
  • The chemical identity and concentration or concentration ranges of all ingredients which are hazardous within the meaning of GHS and are present above their cut-off levels. Cut-off level for reproductive toxicity, carcinogenicity and category 1 mutagenicity is 0.1%. Cut-off level for all other hazard classes is 1%. See Guidelines in annex 2.
4 First aid measures
  • Description of necessary measures, subdivided according to the different routes of exposure, i.e. inhalation, skin and eye contact and ingestion.
  • Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed.
  • Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment, if necessary.
5 Fire-fighting measures

  • Special protective equipment and precautions for fire-fighters.
6 Accidental release measures
  • Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures.
  • Environmental precautions.
  • Methods and materials for containment and clean-up.
7 Handling and storage

8 Exposure controls/ personal protection
  • Control parameters (e.g., occupational exposure limit values).
  • Appropriate technical precautions.
  • Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment.
9 Physical and chemical properties
  • See Guidelines in annex 2.
10 Stability and reactivity
  • Chemical stability
  • Possibility of hazardous reactions.
  • Conditions to avoid (e.g., static discharge).
11 Toxicological information
  • Concise but complete and comprehensible description of the various toxicological (health) effects and the available data used to identify those effects, including:
  • Information on the likely routes of exposure (inhalation, ingestion, skin and eye contact);
  • Symptoms related to the physical, chemical and toxicological characteristics;
  • Delayed and immediate effects and also chronic effects from short- and long-term exposure.
  • Numerical measures of toxicity (such as acute toxicity estimates).
  • See Guidelines in annex 2.
12 Ecological information
  • Ecotoxicity (aquatic and terrestrial, where available).

  • Bioaccumulation potential.
  • Mobility in soil.
  • Other adverse effects.
  • See Guidelines in annex 2.
13 Disposal considerations
  • Description of waste residues and information on their safe handling and methods of disposal, in line with MARPOL requirements.
14 Transport information
  • UN number, where applicable.
  • UN Proper shipping name, where applicable.
  • Transport Hazard class(es), where applicable.
  • Special precautions which a user needs to be aware of or needs to comply with in connection with transport (e.g., heating and carriage temperatures).
  • Note that this product is being carried under the scope of MARPOL Annex I.
15 Regulatory information
  • Safety, health and environmental regulations specific for the product in question.
16 Other information including information on preparation and revision of the MSDS
