The International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code is the standard guide to all aspects of handling dangerous goods and marine pollutants in sea transport. The Code lays down basic principles: detailed recommendations for individual substances, materials and articles, and a number of recommendations for good operational practice, including advice on terminology, packing, labelling, stowage, segregation and handling, and emergency response action. The Code has undergone many changes over the years, in both format and content, in order to keep up with the rapid expansion of the shipping industry. Amendment 40-20 includes revisions to various sections of the Code and to transport requirements for specific substances. It is mandatory as from 1 June 2022 but may be applied by Administrations in whole or in part on a voluntary basis from 1 January 2021
The International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code relates to the safe carriage of dangerous goods by sea, but does not include all details of procedures for packing of dangerous goods or actions to take in the event of an emergency or accident involving personnel who handle goods at sea. These aspects are covered by the publications that are associated with the IMDG Code, which are included in this Supplement. Within a continuing process of revision of publications that are relevant to the IMDG Code, The EmS Guide: Emergency Response Procedures for Ships Carrying Dangerous Goods was further amended at the eighty-seventh session of MSC in May 2010, and the details are described in MSC.1/Circ.1360. Also at the eighty-seventh session of MSC, Revised Recommendations on the safe use of pesticides in ships and Revised Recommendations on the safe use of pesticides in ships applicable to the fumigation of cargo transport units were approved.

The International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code, has become the standard international code for the safe transport of dangerous goods and marine pollutants by sea, based on the requirements of the 1974 International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS Convention) and MARPOL 73/78. The IMDG Code, as amended, attained mandatory status from 1 January 2004 under the umbrella of the SOLAS Convention, although some parts continue to be recommendatory.

The publication is in two volumes and deals with: general provisions, definitions and training; classification; dangerous goods list and limited quantities exceptions; packing and tank provisions; consignment procedures; construction and testing of packagings, intermediate bulk containers, portable tanks and road tank vehicles; and transport operations.
