2、 identification, coding, marking. ISO-Container; Kodierung, Identifizierung und Kennzeichnung (IS0 6346: 1995) European Standard EN IS0 6346: 1995 has the status of a DIN Standard. A comma is used as the decimal marker. National foreword This standard has been published in accordance with a decision

3、 taken by CENTC 119 to adopt, without alteration, International Standard IS0 6346 as a European Standard. The responsible German body involved in its preparation was the Normenausschu Kraftfahrzeuge (Road Vehicles Stand- ards Committee). In this standard, values are given both in metric and imperial

4、 units. Attention is drawn to the fact that the use of these units is not permitted in Germany under the Gesetz ber Einheiten im MeBwesen (German Law on units in metrology). The imperial system may only be used in business transactions with such countries as are still applying these units. The DIN S

5、tandards corresponding to the International Standards referred to in clause 2 of the EN are as follows: IS0 Standard DIN Standard IS0 668 DIN IS0 668 IS0 1496-1 DIN IS0 1496-1 IS0 1496-2 DIN IS0 1496-2) IS0 1496-3 DIN IS0 1496-3 IS0 1496-5 DIN IS0 1496-5 IS0 10374 DIN IS0 10374 Gesetz ber Einheiten

19、ht containers. The identification system is intended for general application, for example in docu- mentation, control and communications (including au- tomatic data processing systems), as well as for display on the containers themselves. The methods of displaying identification and certain other da

20、ta (including operational data) on containers by means of permanent marks are included. 1.2 This International Standard specifies: a) a container identification system, with an associ- ated system for verifying the accuracy of its use, having: - mandatory marks for the presentation of the identifica

21、tion system for visual interpretation, and - features to be used in optional Automatic Equipment Identification (AEI) and electronic data interchange (EDU; b) a coding system for data on container size and type, with corresponding marks for their display; c) operational marks, both mandatory and opt

22、ional; d) physical presentation of marks on the container. 1.3 The terms “mandatory“ and “optional“ in this International Standard are used to differentiate those IS0 marking provisions which shall necessarily be fulfilled by all containers from those which are not required of all containers. The op

23、tional marks are in- cluded to further comprehension and promote uni- form application of the optional mark. If a choice has been made to display an optional mark, the provisions laid down in this International Standard relating to the mark shall be applied. The terms “mandatory“ and “optional“ do n

24、ot refer to requirements of any regu- lato ry body. 1.4 This International Standard applies to all freight containers covered by International Standards IS0 668, parts 1 to 5 of IS0 1496, IS0 8323 and should, wherever appropriate and practicable, be ap- plied: - to containers other than those covere

25、d by the International Standards mentioned in clause 2; - to container-related and/or detachable equipment. NOTE 1 Containers marked according to previous edi- tions of IS0 6346 need not be re-marked. 1.5 This International Standard does not cover tem- porary operational marks of any kind, permanent

26、 marks, data plates, etc. which may be required by intergovernmental agreements, national legislation or nongovernmental organizations other than ISO. NOTE 2 Some of the major international conventions whose container-marking requirements are not covered in this International Standard are as follows

27、: - International Convention for Safe Containers (UN/IMO 1992); - Customs Convention on Containers 1956 and 1972; - Customs Convention on International Movement of Goods under Cover of TIR Carnets (T/R Convention) 1959 and 1975. It should not be assumed that this list is exhaustive. Page 4 EN IS0 63

28、46: 1995 This International Standard does not cover the display of technical data on tank containers (see IS0 1496-31, nor does it, in any way, include identification marks or safety signs for items of cargo which may be car- ried in freight containers. 2 Normative references The following standards

35、ll be registered with the International Container Bureau (BIC - Bu- reau International des Conteneurs), either through an affiliated national registration organization (see annex G) or directly with: Bureau International des Conteneurs 167, rue de Courcelles 75017 Paris FRANCE 3.1.2 Equipment catego

36、ry identifier The equipment category identifier consists of one capital letter of the Latin alphabet as follows: - U for all freight containers; - J for detachable freight container-related equip- ment; - Z for trailers and chassis. 3.1.3 Serial number The container serial number shall consist of si

37、x Arabic numerals. If the series of significant numerals does not total six, they shall be preceded by sufficient zeroes to make up six numerals.

The check digit shall validate the owner code, equipment category identifi

39、er and serial number of the container. 3.2 Identification marks The use of marks in accordance with the identification system specified in 3.1, .e. owner code, equipment category identifier, serial number and check digit, is mandatory for freight containers and recommended for all equipment as state

40、d in 3.1.2. The character- istics (size, shape, layout, etc.) detailed in 6.1 and 6.2.1 shall be displayed as nearly as practicable in ac- cordance with clause 6, .e. legible to the human eye. 4 Size and type codes and their associated marks 4.1 Purpose The type and main external dimensions of the c

41、on- tainer shall be identified with codes marked on the container. Only those freight containers which comply with both the IS0 top-handling capability and struc- tural stacking requirements set forth in IS0 1496 shall be marked with size and type codes in accordance with 4.2.1 and 4.2.2. 4.2 Size a

42、nd type codes This information is mandatory for the marking of con- tainers covered by the International Standards listed in clause 2 and shall be coded as in 4.2.1 and 4.2.2. The size and type codes, when displayed on the con- tainer, shall be used as a whole, .e. the information must not be broken

43、 into its component parts. The size and type codes shall be displayed in accord- ance with clause 6. 4.2.1 Size: two alphanumeric characters The container size (.e. external dimensions) shall be indicated by two characters as follows: - First character: numeric or alphabetic character representing t

44、he length. - Second character: numeric or alphabetic character representing the width and the height. These two characters shall be determined in accord- ance with annex D. 4.2.2 Type: two characters The container type and main characteristics shall be indicated by two characters as follows: - First

45、 character: alphabetic character representing the container type. - Second character: numeric character representing main characteristics related to the container type. These two characters shall be selected in accordance with annex E. NOTE 3 For the purpose of exchanging data when indi- cation of t

46、he main characteristics is not essential, the “type group code designation“ as shown in annex E can be used. 5 Operational marks The marks in this section are not intended to corre- spond to any particular code (e.g. for use in data transmission or any other purpose). They are solely intended as mar

47、kings for use on freight containers to convey certain information or give visual warnings. 5.1 Mandatory operational marks 5.1.1 Maximum gross and tare masses The maximum gross and tare masses shall be marked on a container as: MAX GROSS O0 O00 kg O0 O00 Ib TARE O0 O00 kg O0 O00 Ib For safety reason

48、s, containers tested in compliance with the approved methods specified in that part of IS0 1496 applicable to the type of container in ques- tion, .e. parts 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 of IS0 1496, shall be uniformly marked with the maximum gross mass used for those tests. Furthermore, the “maximum gross mass“

49、marked on the container in accordance with this International Standard shall be identical to that shown on the CSC3) Safety Approval Plate. 3) International Convention for Safe Containers (CSC), UN/IMO.
