MSC.581(110) Enclosed Space Compliance
IMO Resolution MSC.581(110) introduces enhanced safety measures for enclosed space entry, including defined carbon dioxide limits and strengthened atmospheric testing procedures.
Are Your Enclosed Space Monitors Compliant?
From December 2025, vessels must ensure compliance with updated atmospheric testing requirements under SOLAS Chapter III and associated guidance.
As a specialist marine safety distributor, we support shipowners and managers in selecting compliant atmospheric testing and personal detection equipment from leading global manufacturers.
WHAT HAS CHANGED UNDER MSC.581(110)?
The International Maritime Organization adopted IMO Resolution MSC.581(110) in June 2025, replacing IMO Resolution A.1050(27).
The resolution strengthens enclosed space entry procedures and updates the guidance to reflect ongoing casualty investigations.
