21、orldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented
22、on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by
23、 the ISO Council. They are approved in accordance with ISOprocedures requiring at least75% approval by the member bodies voting. International Standard ISO8323 was prepared jointly by Technical Committees ISO/TC104, Freight containers, and ISO/TC20, Aircraft and space vehicles. Itreplaces ISO1496-7:
24、1974, withdrawn in1984.ISO8323:1985(E) BSI 12-1999 1 0 Introduction 0.1 General The basic requirements for the air/surface (intermodal) container are presented in clauses1 to6, while the detailed design requirements are laid down in Annex A. Annex B sets out the sections of other International Stand
25、ards which apply to the air/surface container. ISO4128 presents the requirements for air mode general purpose containers. Requirements for containers to be transported by rotary-wing aircraft are excluded from these International Standards. When required, an International Standard will be developed
26、for this type of container. NOTEThe essential basic and detail criteria are identified by use of the key word “shall”. Recommended basic and detail criteria are identified by use of the key word “should”, and, while not mandatory, are considered to be of primary importance in providing serviceable,
27、economical and practical air/surface containers. 0.2 Definition of container type air/surface (intermodal) container an article of transport equipment having an internal volume of1m 3or more, fitted with top and bottom corner fittings, with restraint provisions compatible with an aircraft restraint
28、system, and an entirely flush base bottom to allow handling on rollerized cargo handling systems the container is primarily intended for transport by air and interchange with surface transport modes (road, rail and sea) 1 Scope and field of application 1.1 This International Standard sets out the ba
29、sic requirements for the specification and testing of air/surface (intermodal) containers for general cargo, which are suitable for international exchange and for conveyance by road, rail and sea as well as by freighter versions of high capacity fixed-wing aircraft, including interchange between the
30、se modes of transport. 1.2 The coding, identification and marking of these containers shall be in accordance with ISO6346. Todenote the container as an air/surface (intermodal) container, the symbol illustrated in Figure 1 shall be located at the top left-hand corner of the end walls and side walls
31、and, as appropriate, on the roof, complying with the requirements of ISO6346 (seeAnnex B.3 of this International Standard). NOTEIf any other markings are used on the container, they shall in no way interfere with the location of the marks required by ISO6346. 1.3 The container types covered by this
32、International Standard are: 2 References ISO668, Series1 freight containers Classification, external dimensions and ratings. ISO1161, Series1 freight containers Corner fittings Specification. ISO1496-1, Series1 freight containers Specification and testing Part1: General cargo containers for general

35、on (see5.3.2), fire protection and markings. For this purpose, ISO8097 shall be applied. 3.2 Tare weight Taking into consideration the unique aircraft requirements, container design should utilize the combination of design and material which results in as low a tare weight as possible. 3.3 Customs s
36、ealing Since air/surface (intermodal) containers are expected to travel mostly on international routes under customs control, container design shall meet the appropriate requirements of the following international conventions: a) UN/IMO: (International Maritime Organization) Customs convention on co

38、of goods under cover of TIR carnets (TIRConvention), Geneva,1975-11-14. The requirements affecting container design appear in Annex4 of the convention quoted in a) and in Annex2 of the convention quoted in b), Regulations on technical conditions applicable to containers which may be accepted for int
39、ernational transport under customs seal. The main items to be taken into consideration for container design appear in clauseA.5 of Annex A of this International Standard. In accordance with Annex5 of the convention quoted in a) and with Annex3 of the convention quoted inb), an approval certificate s
40、hould be issued by a competent national authority, and an approval plate as specified minimum dimensions200mm 100mm (8in 4in) should be affixed accordingly in the vicinity of the lower edge of the container door. 4 Dimensions and ratings 4.1 External dimensions The overall external dimensions and to
41、lerances of the containers, covered by this International Standard, are those established for series1A,1B,1C and1D freight containers in ISO668 (seeAnnex B.1 of this International Standard). Nopart of the container shall project beyond these specified overall external dimensions. 4.2 Minimum interna
42、l dimensions Internal dimensions of containers shall be as large as possible, but at least equal to those values given in Table 1. The dimensions apply when measured at a temperature of20C(68 F). Measurements taken at other temperatures shall be adjusted accordingly. Where a corner fitting projects
43、into the internal space, as specified by Table 1, that part of the corner fitting projecting into the container shall not be considered as reducing the size of the container. 4.2.1 Door opening The container shall be designed to make the maximum possible internal cross-section available for loading.
44、 Each container shall be provided with a door opening at least at one end. Door openings shall be as large as possible, but not less than: minimum door height:2134mm(84in) minimum door width:2286mm(90in) 4.3 Ratings For the ratings of containers suitable for air and surface transport, the following
45、definitions apply. 4.3.1 maximum gross weight 2)the maximum allowable combined weight of the container and its cargo: R a : maximum gross weight of an air/surface container R s : maximum gross weight of a surface container (stacking only) 4.3.2 tare weight 2) , T the weight of the empty container, i
