0. INTRODUCTION
This specification provides the definition of the Waste
disposal information message (WASDIS) to be used in Electronic
Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in
administration, commerce and transport.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Functional definition
A message to convey information on last inspection and on waste
on board of a means of transport (e.g. vessel) and/or equipment
related to a means of transport - and still to be disposed in
the next place or port of call of the means of transport.
1.2 Field of application
The Waste disposal information message may be used for both
national and international applications. It is based on
universal practice related to administration, commerce and
transport, and is not dependent on the type of business or
industry.
1.3 Principles
The message has been designed to enable control of pollution
caused by a means of transport, e.g. in the maritime and port
environment.
* The message relates to one means of transport and/or
equipment related to a means of transport.
* The message is issued only after the departure of the means
of transport.
* The message is issued only in the event that an inspection of
the means of transport has taken place.
Business area: control of pollution by a means of transport
(e.g. maritime pollution)
Sending function: authority (e.g. port), centralised database
of authorities
Receiving function: authority (e.g. port) in the next place or
port of call of the means of transport (e.g. vessel), search
and rescue organisation.

table which indicates mandatory, conditional and repeating
requirements.
0010 UNH, Message header
A service segment starting and uniquely identifying a message.
The message type code for the Waste disposal information
message is WASDIS.
Note: Waste disposal information messages conforming to this
document must contain the following data in segment UNH,
composite S009:
Data element 0065 WASDIS
0052 D
0054 01C
0051 UN
0020 BGM, Beginning of message
A segment to indicate the beginning of a message and to
transmit the identifying number.
0030 DTM, Date/time/period
A segment to provide the date and time of the message.
0040 Segment group 1: RFF-DTM
A group of segments to specify a reference applying to the
whole message.
0050 RFF, Reference
A segment to specify a reference, e.g. reference to previous
message.
0060 DTM, Date/time/period
A segment to indicate a date and time related to the
reference.
0070 Segment group 2: LOC-DTM-GOR
A group of segments to give information about the inspection of
the means of transport and the associated results.
0080 LOC, Place/location identification
A segment to specify the place where the means of transport
has been inspected.
0090 DTM, Date/time/period
A segment to indicate the date and time of the inspection.
0100 GOR, Governmental requirements
A segment to indicate the government agency involved (e.g.
Maritime pollution inspection agency), the government
involvement (e.g. an indication that a certain procedure is
completed or required) and the government procedure (e.g. to
indicate that charge of waste is required).
0110 Segment group 3: TDT-DTM-LOC-RFF-MEA
A group of segments to indicate the details of the means of
transport, with related locations, arrival dates and times,
measurement, etc.
0120 TDT, Details of transport
A segment to identify the means of transport (e.g. by
Lloyd's Register number of a vessel, or by the license plate
number of a truck) and the type of the means of transport.
0130 DTM, Date/time/period
A segment to indicate the date and time of departure in the
place or port of call.
0140 LOC, Place/location identification
A segment to indicate a location relating to the means of
transport, such as: - place or port of departure - next
place or port of call.
0150 RFF, Reference
A segment to specify a reference as an additional
identification of the means of transport, e.g. radio call
sign of a vessel.
0160 MEA, Measurements
A segment to specify a measurement of the means of
transport, e.g. gross tonnage (of a vessel).
0170 Segment group 4: NAD-SG5
A group of segments to identify a party which could give
further information on the conveyance of the means of
transport.
0180 NAD, Name and address
A segment to identify a party's name, address and function
from which further information can be obtained (e.g. port
