    How to Use IMDG Emergency Fire and Spill Codes [IMDG Code 3.2.1]
    Transportation
    The Dangerous Goods List in the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code
    contains emergency schedule information (EmS). EmS codes are in column 15 of the
    Dangerous Goods List and refer to a fire schedule (e.g., "F-A" for General Fire Schedule) and a
    spillage schedule (e.g., "S-A" for Toxic Substances) included in emergency response
    procedures identified in the IMDG Code Supplement--a separate volume that accompanies
    IMDG Code Volumes 1 and 2.
    If the EmS code is underlined for a substance, material, or article, this indicates additional
    information is provided in the emergency response procedures.
    For dangerous goods offered under n.o.s. entries or other generic entries, appropriate
    emergency response procedures may vary from the EmS codes listed. In these cases, shippers
    should provide EmS codes based on the chemical properties of the material being shipped
    instead of providing the EmS codes indicated by the Dangerous Goods List.
    To find an assigned EmS code, first look up the material by ID number on the Dangerous
    Goods List. Next, find the two EmS codes included in column 15--one code for fire and one
    code for spills. Then, consult the index in the first section of the IMDG Code Supplement to look
    up the EmS codes and the corresponding page numbers where the emergency response
    information is located.
    The following tables identify the EmS fire and spill codes used in the Dangerous Goods List.
    EmS Fire Codes Corresponding Hazards
    F-A General Fire Schedule
    F-B Explosive Substance and Articles
    F-C Non-Flammable Gases
    F-D Flammable Gases
    F-E Non-Water Reactive Flammable Liquids
    F-F Temperature-Controlled Self-Reactives and Organic Peroxides
    F-G Water-Reactive Substances
    F-H Oxidizing Substances with Explosive Potential
    F-I Radioactive Material
    F-J Non-Temperature-Controlled Self-Reactives and Organic Peroxides

    EmS Spill Codes Corresponding Hazards
    S-A Toxic Substances
    S-B Corrosive Substances
    S-C Flammable, Corrosive Liquids
    S-D Flammable Liquids
    S-E Flammable Liquids (floating on water)
    S-F Water-Soluble Marine Pollutants
    S-G Flammable Solids and Self-Reactive Substances
    S-H Flammable Solids (molten material)
    S-I Flammable Solids (repacking possible)
    S-J Wetted Explosives and certain Self-heating Substances
    S-K Temperature-Controlled Self-Reactive Substances

    S-L Spontaneously Combustible, Water-Reactive Substances
    S-M Hazard of Spontaneous Ignition
    S-N Substances Reacting Vigorously with Water
    S-O Substances Dangerous when Wet (non-collectable articles)
    S-P Substances Dangerous when Wet (collectible articles)
    S-Q Oxidizing Substances
    S-R Organic Peroxides
    S-S Radioactive Material
    S-T Dangerous Goods with Biohazard
    S-U Gases (Flammable, Toxic or Corrosive)
    S-V Gases (Non-flammable, Non-toxic)
    S-W Oxidizing Gases
    S-X Explosive Items and Articles
    S-Y Explosive Chemicals
    S-Z Toxic Explosives

    When shipping by vessel, you may list the emergency schedule information on a transport
    document (shipping paper) to fulfill DOT's requirement to include emergency response
    information with dangerous goods shipments, as long as your driver and vessel operator have a
    copy of the corresponding information from the IMDG Code Supplement.
    Learn more about these and other IMDG Code regulations by attending Environmental
    Resource Center's International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code Webcast or
    Transportation of Dangerous Goods: Compliance with IATA and IMO Regulations seminar.
