Hazardous Materials Inventory Statement (HMIS) Compliance

Clear Documentation. Code Compliance. Confident Reporting.

Accurate HMIS Reporting Under IFC & IBC Requirements

Professional Guidance That Translates Into Real Operational Improvement.

EDJ supports organizations in developing accurate, compliant Hazardous Materials Inventory Statements required under the International Fire Code and International Building Code. Our work ensures hazardous materials are properly identified, classified, quantified, and documented to support regulatory compliance and emergency response. We manage the process with precision, regulatory awareness, and direct coordination with authorities.

Our HMIS Compliance Process

EDJ’s HMIS process follows a structured and transparent workflow designed to provide clarity, accuracy, and regulatory confidence from the start.

  • We begin by identifying the hazardous materials present, applicable code requirements, and reporting thresholds. This step establishes the scope of the inventory and aligns expectations before data collection begins.

  • We conduct a facility walkthrough to verify material locations, quantities, storage conditions, and use areas. Materials are reviewed in their actual operating environment to ensure accurate classification and reporting.

  • We compile inventory data, verify hazard classifications, and review storage quantities against code limits. This includes identifying discrepancies, omissions, or compliance concerns that require correction.

  • We prepare the Hazardous Materials Inventory Statement in accordance with IFC and IBC requirements. Documentation is organized for clarity, accuracy, and acceptance by local fire and building authorities.

  • EDJ assists with submittal, agency communication, and responses to review comments. Ongoing support is available for inventory updates, operational changes, or future reporting needs.

Key Components of HMIS Review

EDJ’s HMIS services are grounded in real-world facility experience. We evaluate hazardous materials inventories from both a regulatory and operational perspective to ensure accuracy, compliance, and readiness.

Typical areas of HMIS review include:

Material Identification and Classification

  • Identification of hazardous materials stored, used, or handled

  • Hazard classification by physical and health hazard categories

  • Review of SDS information to support accurate classification

  • Alignment with IFC and IBC definitions

Quantity Verification and Threshold Analysis

  • Verification of maximum quantities present and in use

  • Comparison to Maximum Allowable Quantities (MAQs)

  • Identification of control areas and occupancy classifications

  • Evaluation of exceedances and mitigation needs

Storage and Use Locations

  • Documentation of storage and use areas by room or control area

  • Review of storage methods and container types

  • Identification of incompatible materials

  • Confirmation of proper separation and location controls

Facility Layout and Reporting Accuracy

  • Coordination of inventory data with facility floor plans

  • Verification of material locations on drawings

  • Review of reporting consistency across documents

  • Support for accurate emergency response information

Code Compliance and Submittal Requirements

  • Compliance with International Fire Code and International Building Code

  • Alignment with local amendments and jurisdictional requirements

  • Preparation of documentation for fire marshal review
