These are amendments to the IMDG, FSS, IGF, MODU, HSC, LSA, SPS, IGC, ESP, and IBC Codes.
The exception is Resolution MSC.527(106) related to the International Code of Safety for Ships Carrying Industrial Personnel (IP Code). Resolution MSC.527(106) does not include amendments because the IP Code was recently adopted for the first time.
