3 1 Overview of the Central Hazmat Database 1.1 Background The SSN Group and the High Level Steering Group on SSN have agreed on the development and maintenance of a central database for HAZMAT information that have to be notified and exchanged in accordance with the VTMIS Directive and the RFD. This database is referred to in this document as the Central HAZMAT Database (CHD). The overall objective of the CHD is to: Improve the data quality of HAZMAT notifications to SSN, Minimise the administrative burden for the reporting parties when submitting the HAZMAT information to the NSW, and Support the MS emergency response services by providing specialised information for the response to incidents involving chemical substances. The CHD will be provided as a service of the Central SafeSeaNet system, which may be used by National SSN systems as well as NSW systems. 1.2 Users The CHD should serve the needs of: Industry stakeholders (manufacturers, shippers, freight forwarders, logistics companies) responsible for providing the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) to the ship reporting parties, Reporting parties (masters, ship agents, and ship operators) responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the HAZMAT information transmitted to the NSW, Relevant MS authorities (SSN NCAs, single window, port, maritime, security and port state control authorities) responsible for receiving, validating and processing HAZMAT information transmitted by the reporting parties, Emergency services of the MS responsible for providing effective response to maritime incidents to minimise loss of life, damage to property and prevention of pollution, and EMSA services responsible for validating the data quality of the information exchanged between MS through SSN. 1.3 Functional uses The objectives of the CHD are achieved if it is used as a and verification tool during the HAZMAT reporting process both at national and central level: a. As a : The users can search for the correct HAZMAT details. This can be done either by using specific identifiers (code or convention textual, UN Number, IMO class), or by inputting the product s textual, how it is carried (bulk or packaged) and, when applicable, type of product (liquid, gas or solid) and browse the structure of the database until the correct identification of the relative code or convention is found, as shown in Figure 1.

Once the reporting party inputs an identifier (e.g. textual or the UN number), the NSW would automatically fill in the remaining static data elements. Competent authorities and EMSA services can download from the CHD hazmat, information needed to respond to incidents involving ships carrying HAZMAT cargo. b. For verification: Competent authorities and EMSA services can cross-check and validate the correctness of HAZMAT data notified to SSN by the national SSN and NSW systems. 1.4 Data flows and links The information flow between the users of the CHD is presented in Figure 2 below: Page 4 of 9

These system-to-system services will include: a) Push automatically updates and changes in the CHD; b) Transmission of a list of HAZMAT products defined in a request, for example the list of UN Numbers and mode of carriage for the IMDG; Page 9 of 9
