SCH
SCHEDULE 6
Regulation 7
REQUIREMENTS FOR DRUGS, MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS AND DISINFECTANTS TO BE
CARRIED ON SHIPS
1. A drug or medicinal preparation is to be obtained from a supplier who,
before or at the time the drug or medicinal preparation is ordered, has been
given a copy of these Regulations as in force at the time when the drug or
medicinal preparation is ordered.
2. Labelling.
(1) A drug or medicinal preparation shall be plainly labelled in the English
language.
(2) The label must be durable and of such nature as to be clearly readable for the normal life of the contents of the container to which such label is
attached.
(3) The label shall bear-
(a) the approved name of the drug or medicinal preparation, the strength
and the quantity present in the package;
(b) the form of the drug or medicinal preparation (capsule, tablet,
injection, etc.) including the synonym (if any) used in the column "Medicines
to be carried" of Part I of Schedule 2;
(c) the normal adult dose of those for internal use and otherwise adequate directions for use;
(d) the name and address of the supplier;
(e) such other information as is required by the laws of the State or
country in which the supply is made;
(f) if the label is on a medicine the reference to which in the first
column of Part I of Schedule 2 is marked *-the date, expressed by month and
year, after which the preparation should not be used by reason of a possible
decrease in its effectiveness or of its decomposition.
3. Containers.
A drug or medicinal preparation shall be packed in such containers as conform
to the requirements of the laws of the State or country in which they are
supplied, provided that cork closures shall not be used.
4. Storage.
Storage should be in a cool place i.e. below 25 degrees C
if possible, except that the

SCH
SCHEDULE 7
Regulation 7
REQUIREMENTS FOR DISINFECTANTS TO BE CARRIED ON SHIPS
I. GENERAL PURPOSE DISINFECTANT DEODORANT; SUDOL (SOLUTION OF
ALKYLPHENOLS IN A SAPONACEOUS SOLVENT).
II. ANTISEPTIC SOLUTION CONTAINING CETRIMIDE 3% AND CHLORHEXIDINE
GLUCONATE 0.3% IN A SUITABLE AQUEOUS VEHICLE.
III. STABILIZED CHLORIDE OF LIME (IN 100 GRAM TINS) PREPARED FOR
STERILIZING DRINKING WATER.
1. The chloride of lime must contain not less than 24 per centum, and not more than 26 per centum, of available chlorine.
2. It must contain not less than 14 per centum of free quick lime (CaO).
3. The total water existing in all forms consisting largely, if not entirely,
of the water in combination in the form of calcium hydroxide must not exceed 7.5 per centum.
4. It shall be of such stability that, after passing four weeks in an oven
kept at 60 degrees
Celsius (' 1 degree), the percentage of available chlorine shall not
decrease more than 2 per centum.
5. The powder to be put up in 100 gram tins, the date of issue by the
manufacturer to be stamped on the base of each tin.
6. Each tin and contents (except the measure, which may be used again),
whether partially used or not, to be renewed within one year following the date
stamped on the tin.
7. Each tin to contain a measure, made of a material resistant to chlorine, to contain 4 grams of the powder, when full, that is to say, sufficient to
chlorinate approximately 1000 litres of water.
8. Instructions for use are those set out in the Ship Captain's Medical Guide.
IV. CRUDE STABILIZED CHLORIDE OF LIME IN 4.5 KILOGRAM TINS.
If it is so desired, the quantity of general purpose disinfectant deodorant
may be reduced by not more than 50 per centum if the amount so reduced is
replaced by an equal mass of stabilized chloride of lime (1 litre of general
purpose disinfectant deodorant to equal 1 kilogram of chloride of lime).
The chloride of lime must be dry and suitably stabilized yielding not less
than 30 per centum by mass of available chlorine and must be put up in tins of
not more than 4.5 kilograms per tin, the date of issue by the manufacturer being stamped on each tin. Each tin and contents, whether partly used or not, must be
renewed within one year of the date stamped on the tin. Full instructions for
the use of the powder for cleansing decks, bulkheads, urinals and lavatory
basins must be given on a label attached to each tin. Samples for test shall be
taken from time to time. This material shall not be used for the sterilization
of drinking water, or for the sterilization of dejecta, soiled utensils or
apparel of persons suffering from a contagious or infectious disease.
V. STABILIZED SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE SOLUTION.
If a stabilized solution of hypochlorite of soda is preferred to chloride of
lime, this preparation may be carried in place of the chloride of lime if the
total quantity of available chlorine is the same. If it is so desired, the
amount of general purpose disinfectant deodorant carried may then be reduced by
not more than 50 per centum if the quantity so omitted is replaced by three
times its mass of stabilized hypochlorite solution. The conditions and
restrictions as to its purpose and use are the same as for chloride of lime. The hypochlorite solution must yield at least 10 per centum of available chlorine.
If at any time the solution decreases in strength so that the available chlorine falls to less than 8 per centum, it shall be replaced as soon as possible. The
liquid is to be stored in stoneware jars or other containers, of not less than
10 litres or more than 50 litres capacity, not liable to cause a diminution of
the strength of the solution. The jars shall be sealed either with stoneware
stoppers or with stoppers which have no appreciable action in diminishing the
strength of the solution. Unless it can be shown that the strength of the
solution is unaltered, the disinfectant shall be renewed at least once a year.
The date of sealing the containers and directions for use must be stated on a
label adhering firmly to the jar. In a ship in which a sea-water electrolizer is installed, being an electrolizer that is capable of giving an unlimited quantity of sodium hypochlorite solution containing not less than 0.1 per centum of
available chlorine, the quantity of general purpose disinfectant deodorant
carried may be reduced by not more than 50 per centum. The type of electrolizer
must be subject to inspection from time to time by a Medical Inspector of
Seamen. A sample of electrolite will occasionally be taken for testing the
chlorine content. The conditions and restrictions as to its purpose and use are
the same as those for chloride of lime specified in clause IV or hypochlorite
solution.
