SIXTH SCHEDULE. Reg. 7.

Requirements for Disinfectants to be carried by Ships.

I. Commercial Carbolic Disinfectant.

A liquid containing not less than 90 per centum of free carbolic or cresylic acid, and approved by a Medical Inspector of Seamen. The approved disinfectant must have a germicidal value not less than that of pure phenol when tested against B. typhosus in the presence of excess organic matter.

II. Essential Oil Disinfectant.

Essential oils for use as disinfectants must be approved by a Medical Inspector of Seamen and must have a germicidal value not less than that of pure phenol when tested against B. typhosus in the presence of excess organic matter. If an essential oil disinfectant is carried, the quantity of phenol or cresylic acid disinfectant may be reduced by not more than 50 per centum.

III. Stabilized Chloride of Lime in ¼ Pound Tins for Sterilizing Drinking Water.

1. The Chloride of Lime must be of quality approved by a Medical Inspector of Seamen.

2. It must contain not less than 24 per centum, and not more than 26 per centum, available chlorine.

3. It must contain not less than 14 per centum of free quick lime (CaO).

4. 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.

5. It shall be of such stability that, after passing four weeks in an oven kept at 140° Fahrenheit (± 2 degrees), the percentage of available chlorine shall not decrease more than 2 per centum.

6. The powder to be put up in ¼ pound tins, the date of issue by the manufacturer to be stamped on the base of each tin.

7. 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.

8. Each tin to contain a measure, made of a material resistant to chlorine, to contain 60 grains of the powder, when full, that is to say, sufficient to chlorinate approximately 200 gallons of water.

9. Instructions for use are those set out in the Ship Captain’s Medical Guide.

IV. Crude Stabilized Chloride of Lime (in 10 Pound Tins).

If it is so desired, the quantity of phenol or cresylic acid may be reduced by not more than 50 per centum if the amount so reduced is replaced by an equal weight of stabilized chloride of lime (one gallon of carbolic or cresylic acid to equal 10 pounds of chloride of lime).

Chloride of lime must be dry and suitably stabilized yielding not less than 30 per centum by weight of available chlorine and must be put up in tins of not more than 10 pounds 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 phenol or cresylic acid carried may then be reduced by not more than 50 per centum if the quantity so

Sixth Schedule—continued.

omitted is replaced by three times its weight 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 two gallons or more than ten gallons 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 phenol or cresylic acid disinfectant carried may be reduced by not more than 50 per centum. The type of electrolizer must be approved by a Medical Inspector of Seamen and subject to inspection from time to time. 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 or hypochlorite solution in tins.
