ISO Codes

The International Standards Organization (ISO) has recommended a series of internal and external dimensions for containers together with gross maximum weights which the container may carry.

Not all containers which are used by transport companies are ISO containers and forwarders should be aware of this and take action as required to ensure that ISO containers are used for their shipments.

Container Examinations

Every container must have a Container Safety Certificate (CSC) issued by the manufacturer and this must be renewed every 30 months after inspection by a competent inspector. An approved continuous examination program (ACEP) can be agreed as substitute for this procedure and the ACEP number is stamped on the CSC plate.
