IMO held the Maritime Safety Committee, 102nd session (MSC 102) from 4-11 November 2020 when it adopted Amendments to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code) Amendment 40-20.

The Amendment 40-20 edition of the IMDG Code may be used on an optional basis from 1 January 2021 until it becomes mandatory on June 1 2022. During this extended transitional period Amendment 39-18 can continue to be used. See the Amendment cycle here.
