OSPAR Recommendation 2010/3 on a Harmonised Offshore Chemical Notification Format (HOCNF) 1
RECALLING Article 5 of the Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North East Atlantic (OSPAR Convention) in which Contracting Parties agree to take jointly all possible steps to prevent and eliminate pollution from offshore sources; RECALLING Article 4 of Annex III to the OSPAR Convention in which Contracting Parties agree that use on, or the discharge or emission from, offshore sources of substances which may reach and affect the maritime area shall be strictly subject to authorisation or regulation by the competent authorities of the Contracting Parties and that competent authorities shall provide for a system of monitoring and inspection; RECALLING the programmes and measures stipulated in OSPAR Decision 2000/2 on a Harmonised Mandatory Control System for the Use and Reduction of the Discharge of Offshore Chemicals, and the experience gained in its application; RECALLING the Hazardous Substances Strategy and the OSPAR Commissions strategic objective with regard to hazardous substances to prevent pollution of the OSPAR maritime area by continuously reducing discharges, emissions and losses of hazardous substances, with the ultimate aim to achieve concentrations in the marine environment near background values for naturally occurring substances and close to zero for man-made synthetic substances; RECALLING the OSPAR Offshore Oil and Gas Industry Strategy and the OSPAR Commissions strategic objective with regard to offshore oil and gas activities to prevent and eliminate pollution and take the necessary measures to protect OSPAR maritime area against the adverse effects of offshore activities by setting environmental goals and improving management mechanisms, so as to safeguard human health and to conserve marine ecosystems and, when practicable, restore marine areas which have been adversely affected; NOTING the relevant legislation within the European Union, in particular Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) and corresponding legislation of other Contracting Parties; and as a consequence DESIRING to update the Harmonised Offshore Chemical Notification Format (HOCNF), THE CONTRACTING PARTIES TO THE CONVENTION FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT OF THE NORTH EAST ATLANTIC RECOMMEND:
This Recommendation replaces OSPAR Recommendation 2000/5 as amended by OSPAR Recommendations 2005/3 and 2008/2. 1 of 21
For the purposes of the programmes and measures contained under section 3 of this Recommendation: a. "authority" means the competent national authority of a Contracting Party to the OSPAR Convention; "discharge" means the operational release of offshore chemicals or their degradation and transformation products into the maritime area; "hazardous substances" means (in accordance with the OSPAR Hazardous Substances Strategy) substances which fall into one of the following categories: (i) (ii) substances or groups of substances that are toxic, persistent and liable to bioaccumulate; other substances or groups of substances which are assessed by the Commission as requiring a similar approach as substances referred to in (i), even if they do not meet all the criteria for toxicity, persistence and bioaccumulation, but which give rise to an equivalent level of concern. This category will include both substances which work synergistically with other substances to generate such concern, and also substances which do not themselves justify inclusion but which degrade or transform into substances referred to in (i) or substances which require a similar approach. The Commission will identify and assess such other substances or groups of substances using available information and internationally accepted methods and criteria d. e. "HOCNF" means the Harmonised Offshore Chemical Notification Format; "offshore chemicals" means all chemicals intentionally used in connection with offshore exploration and production activities in the maritime area. Offshore chemicals comprise both substances and preparations; OSPAR Decision 2000/2 means OSPAR Decision 2000/2 on a Harmonised Mandatory Control System for the Use and Reduction of the Discharge of Offshore Chemicals; OSPAR LCPA means the OSPAR List of Chemicals for Priority Action; OSPAR LSPC means the OSPAR List of Substances of Possible Concern; OSPAR Recommendation 2000/5 means OSPAR Recommendation 2000/5 on a Harmonised Offshore Chemical Notification Format (HOCNF) as amended by OSPAR Recommendations 2005/3 and 2008/2; PLONOR means the OSPAR List of Substances/Preparations Used and Discharged Offshore, which are considered to pose Little or No Risk to the Environment; "preparation" means a mixture or solution composed of two or more substances; REACH means Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) establishing a European Chemicals Agency, amending Directive 1999/45/EC
and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/94 as well as Council Directive 76/769/EEC and Commission Directives 91/155/EEC, 93/67/EEC, 93/104/EC and 2000/21/EC. (Official Journal of the European Union 30.12.2006 L396/1) m. "SDS" means Safety Data Sheet compiled in accordance with Annex II as laid down in Article 31 of REACH; "substance" means a chemical element and its compounds in the natural state or obtained by any manufacturing process, including any additive necessary to preserve its stability and any impurity deriving from the process used, but excluding any solvent which may be separated without affecting the stability of the substance or changing its composition; "Surfactant" means any substance, which has surface-active properties according to test method A.5 in Regulation EC 440/2008 laying down test methods pursuant to REACH, and which consists of one or more hydrophilic and one or more hydrophobic groups of such a nature and size that is capable of reducing the surface tension of water, and of forming spreading or adsorption monolayers at the water-air interface, and of forming emulsions and/or microemulsions and/or micelles, and of adsorption at water-solid interfaces; "use" means application of any offshore chemical in connection with offshore exploration and production activities in the maritime area that might result in a discharge.
1.2 Further definitions and explanations of terms used in Annex 1 to this Recommendation are given in the OSPAR Guidelines for Completing the Harmonised Offshore Chemical Notification Format.
2.1 The purpose of the Harmonised Offshore Chemical Notification Format is to provide authorities with data and information about chemicals to be used and discharged offshore, to enable the authorities to take the appropriate regulatory action in accordance with the scope of OSPAR Decision 2000/2.
3.1 Authorities should require the provision of data and information in accordance with the registered data and information on the basis of REACH, if available, or with the data and information in accordance with the HOCNF at Annex 1 in order to examine and decide upon an application for a substance or preparation to be used and discharged offshore in accordance with OSPAR Decision 2000/2.
Authorities should require that: a. data and information about the substance or preparation is provided in terms of its: (i) complete and precise chemical composition, including unequivocal chemical names and CAS-numbers, molecular weights (MW) as well as the percentage content for all deliberately added substances; and, as they deem necessary, with (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) b. c. country of manufacture; other trade names for the product; other countries in which the material is sold; the names and addresses of distributor, producer or importer; report numbers of the tests carried out in accordance with the requirements stipulated in Part 2 of Annex 1 to this Recommendation;
sufficient information on offshore chemicals is being supplied to operators by suppliers or manufactures to allow them to properly assess the chemicals they use; the company making the application is aware of the relevant: (i) (ii) national guidelines or regulations; programmes, measures or agreements adopted in the framework of OSPAR.
3.3 Authorities should recognise that some of the data and information provided in accordance with the HOCNF at Annex 1 is confidential and that it should be treated as such. However, any or all such data could be rd exchanged between Contracting Parties and nominated 3 Parties who have been notified to the OSPAR Secretariat, in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement (Reference number: 2007-13).
