This Section is identical with the English text of ISO830-1981 “Freight containersTerminology” including Amendments1 and2 prepared by Technical Committee104, Freight containers, of the International Organization for Standardizat
10、ion (ISO). Terminology and conventions. The text of the international standard has been approved as suitable for publication as a British Standard without deviation. Some terminology and certain conventions are not identical with those used in British Standards; attention is drawn especially to the
11、following. The comma has been used as a decimal marker. In British Standards it is current practice to use a full point on the baseline as the decimal marker. Wherever the words “International Standard” appear, relating to this standard, they should be read as “British Standard”. Other British Stand
12、ards giving information on freight containers are BS5073 “Guide to stowage of goods in freight containers” and BS5237 “Specification for lifting twistlocks”. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for thei
13、r correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.

22、ntainer types (see Table 1) are grouped, and groups are sub-divided according to the following concepts: mode of transport, categories of cargo, and the physical characteristics of the container. Thus: a) It is assumed that containers are intended for use in any or all of the surface modes of transp
23、ort, i.e.road, rail and sea, unless otherwise stated. Only in the case of containers primarily intended for transport by air (air mode containers, see4.1.3) is any specific reference made to the mode of transport when classifying ISO types of containers. b) The main classification is made in terms o
24、f the type of cargo for which a container is primarily intended. General cargo containers (see4.1.1) include those containers which are not specifically or primarily intended for a particular category of cargo. This group is sub-divided according to type of structure and/or means of access for loadi
25、ng (packing) and emptying. Specific cargo containers (see4.1.2) include those for cargoes which are temperature sensitive, for liquids and gases, for dry solids in bulk and for particular categories such as automobiles (cars), or livestock. This group is subdivided according to the appropriate physi
26、cal attributes of the container such as ability to maintain a particular temperature under stated conditions, test pressures, etc. 4.0.2 Type codes Container type codes are given in ISO6346 The type code consists of two arabic numerals, the first of which indicates the category and the second of whi
27、ch indicates certain physical characteristics or other attributes. NOTE 1A summary of container types giving reference to the relevant clauses and sub-clauses is given in Table 1. NOTE 2Neither the summary, nor the definitions which follow it, is intended to constitute an exhaustive list of containe
28、r types. NOTE 3In clauses4.1.1, 4.1.2 and4.1.3, where a reference is given in square brackets after the name of a container type, this identifies the document in which the specification and testing requirements are given for the type of container in question. NOTE 4When type codes are quoted with de
29、finitions, they are given as typical examples only. 1) At present at the stage of draft.
