What’s EmS No. for Normal Hexane?
It’s (D/E).
EmS means ‘Emergency Response Procedures for Ships Carrying Dangerous Goods (EmS Guide) and EmS codes are assigned to each UN Number in column 15 of Dangerous Goods List in IMDG Code chapter 3.2. EmS is two part codes first for fire starting with letter “F” and second for spillage starting with letter “S”. EmS tables are published in supplement to IMDG Code. Fire schedule codes are from F-A to F-J and spillage schedule codes are from S-A to S-Z.
A well trained crew is the best team to deal with fire on board ships keeping this in mind the on board training must include EmS to be well prepared for incidents involving fire or spillage.
