19、Scope 1.1 This part ofISO1496 specifies the basic specifications and testing requirements for ISOseries1freight containers of the platform and platform-based types designated 1AAA, 1AA, 1A, 1AX, 1BBB, 1BB, 1B, 1BX, 1CC, 1C and 1CX which are suitable for international exchange and for conveyance by r
20、oad, rail and sea, including interchange between these forms of transport, with certain limitations (for example, when loaded, platforms cannot be stacked or top lifted by means of conventional spreaders). 1.2 The container types covered by this part ofISO1496 are given inTable 1. Table 1 Container
21、types 1.3 The marking requirements for these containers shall be in accordance with the principles embodied inISO6346. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part ofISO1496. At the time of publication, th

28、wing, apply. However, for practical reasons, certain definitions taken and adapted fromISO830 are given below. 3.1 platform flat structure having no superstructure whatever. The equipment covered by this part ofISO1496 is defined as a loadable platform having no superstructure whatever but having th
29、e same length and width as the base of series1containers, and equipped with top and bottom corner fittings, located in plan view as on other series1containers, so that some securing and lifting devices used on other series1containers of the same length can also be used on platforms 3.2 platform-base
30、d container container having no side walls but which has a base similar to that of a platform container 3.3 incomplete superstructure lack of any permanently fixed longitudinal load-carrying structure between the ends other than at the base 3.4 fixed complete end structure fixed end frame with a com
31、plete load-bearing end wall between corner posts 3.5 folding complete end structure folding end frame with a transverse structural connection between corner posts 3.6 interlocked pile a number of platform containers or folding platform-based containers, with ends folded down,which are interlocked to
32、 form a unit (module)(see4.1.3) 4 Dimensions and ratings 4.1 External dimensions 4.1.1 The overall external dimensions and tolerances of the freight containers covered by this part ofISO1496 shall be those established inISO668, except that the requirements for the overall top lengths (L) of platform
33、-based containers with incomplete superstructure may be relaxed to the extreme limits specified inTable 2. Table 2 Overall top dimension, L Any movement of the corner posts resulting from the change from the empty to the fully loaded condition of the container should, as far as practicable, be equal
34、ly disposed about the mean of the values of L maxand L min . Taking into account the fact that the mechanism of the folding end structures may introduce natural play, the values of L maxand L minspecified inTable 2 shall be met. Failure to comply with this requirement is liable to lead to handling d
35、ifficulties. 4.1.2 No part of the platform or platform-based container shall project beyond the envelope defined by the overall external dimensions specified in ISO668 for the plan dimensions of the base structure of all containers, the plan dimensions of the top part of container with complete supe
36、rstructure, or the overall maximum height of all containers which may also be of reduced dimensions, or Table 2 for the plan dimensions of the top part of containers with incomplete superstructure. 4.1.3 An interlocked pile of either platform or folded platform-based containers shall have the plan d

The values are given as
39、a guide to the design of small intermodal containers. 4.3 Ratings The values of the rating R, the maximum gross mass of these containers, shall be those specified inISO668. 5 Design requirements 5.1 General All containers shall be capable of fulfilling the requirements given in5.1.1 to5.1.4. 5.1.1 T
40、he strength requirements for containers are given in diagrammatic form in Annex A (these requirements are applicable to all containers except where otherwise stated). They apply to containers as complete units, i.e.those removable components in position as required for the intended operating conditi
41、ons. 5.1.2 The strength requirements for corner fittings (seealso5.3) are specified inISO1161. 5.1.3 All containers, except containers with folding ends (codes63and64) in the folded condition, shall be capable of withstanding the loads and loadings specified in clause6. Containers with folding ends
42、in the folded condition shall be capable of withstanding the loads and loadings specified in clause7. As the effects of loads encountered under any dynamic operating condition should only approach, but not exceed, the effects of the corresponding test loads, it is implicit that the capabilities of c
43、ontainers indicated in Annex A and demonstrated by the tests described in clauses6 and7 shall not be exceeded in any mode of operation. Containers need not be weatherproof but if designed to be weatherproof they shall satisfy test No.13 (see6.13). 5.1.4 Any movable part which, if unsecured, could le
44、ad to a hazardous situation, shall be provided with an adequate securing system having external indication of the positive securement of that part in the appropriate operating position. 5.2 Interlocked pile of folded containers Horizontal free play shall be limited between individual folded containe
45、rs forming an interlocked pile so that the pile is capable of complying with the dimensional requirements of4.1.3. The sum of the tare weights of the platform containers forming an interlocked pile, together with any required securing devices, shall not exceed the Maximum Gross Mass (MGM) specified
46、inISO668 for the size of container in question. 5.3 Corner fittings 5.3.1 All containers shall be equipped with top and bottom corner fittings (seenotes2 and3). The requirements and positioning of the corner fittings are given inISO1161, except for the case mentioned in4.1.1. NOTE 2For1CX platforms,
47、 the top and bottom corner fittings may be combined providing they comply withISO1161. NOTE 3Due to greater inherent flexibility of all sizes of platform-based containers with incomplete superstructure, the top aperture of top corner fittings may be increased by10mm in the direction of their end wal
48、l. In such a case the end aperture should be omitted in order to retain corner fitting strength. 5.3.2 Containers with folding ends shall be equipped with features such that in the folded condition they may be stacked and secured, lifted from the top by means of a spreader equipped with corner fitti
49、ng locking devices (e.g.twistlocks), and interlocked with other containers having similar folding end structures. The features shall have at least an equivalent to the upper face and internal cavity of the top corner fitting. The positioning of the features in the folded condition shall meet the requirements ofISO1161. 5.3.3 For all containers, including containers with folding ends folded down, the upper faces of the top corner fittings or equivalent features (performing some of the functions of top corner fittings see5.3.2) shall
