`
`Foreword
`
`ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide 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 on that committee. International organizations, govern(cid:173)
`mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO
`collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (lEC) on all
`matters of electrotechnical standardization.
`
`Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to
`the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires
`approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
`
`International Standard ISO 1496-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 104,
`Freight containers.
`
`This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition (ISO 1496-1 : 19M). It incor(cid:173)
`porates Amendment 1 and Draft Amendment 2.
`
`ISO 1496 will consist of the following parts, under the general title Series 1 freight con(cid:173)
`tainers - Specification and testing:
`
`Part 1: General cargo containers for general purposes

`
`-~ closed, ventilated containers type 13 shall comply with
`the requirements for minimum internal length, width and
`height given in 4.3.
`
`4.3 Minimum internal dimensions
`
`Any closure in a container which, if unsecured, could lead to
`a hazardous situation, shall be provided with an adequate
`securing system having external indication of the positive
`securement of that closure in the appropriate operating pos(cid:173)
`ition.
`
`The minimum internal dimensions for ISO series 1 general pur(cid:173)
`pose cargo containers are specified in table 2.
`
`In particular, doors should be capable of being securely
`fastened in the open or closed position.
`
`The dimensions apply when measured at a temperature of
`20°C (68 OF). Measurements taken at other temperatures shall
`be adjusted accordingly.
`
`Where a top corner fitting projects into the internal space
`specified by table 2, that part of the corner fitting projecting in(cid:173)
`to the container shall not be considered as reducing the size of
`the container.
`
`Any removable roof or roof section shall be fitted with locking
`devices such that an observer at ground level can check (when
`the container is on a rail or highway carrying vehicle) that its
`roof is secured.
`
`All closed containers and all open containers fitted with covers
`which were designed for them, shall be weatherproof as
`required by test No. 13 (see 6.14).
`
`4.4 Ratings
`
`5.2 Corner fittings
`
`The values of the rating R, being the gross mass of the con(cid:173)
`tainer, are those given in ISO 668.
`
`5 Design requirements
`
`5.1 General
`
`All containers shall be capable of fulfiHing the following
`requirements.
`
`The strength requirements for containers are given in diagram(cid:173)
`matic form in annex A (these requirements are applicable to all
`containers except where otherwise stated). They apply to
`containers as complete units.
`
`The strength requirements for corner fittings (see also 5.2) are
`given In ISO 1161.
`
`The container shall be capable of withstanding the loads and
`loadings detailed in clause 6.
`
`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
`in annex A and
`capabilities of containers
`indicated
`demonstrated by the test described in clause 6 shall not be
`exceeded in any mode of operation.
`
`All containers shall be equipped with top and bottom corner fit(cid:173)
`tings. The requirements and positioning of the corner fittings
`are given in ISO 1161. The upper faces of the top corner fittings
`shall protrude above the top of the container by a minimum of
`6 mm11 (see 5.3.4). The "top of the container" means the
`highest level of the cover of the container, for example the level
`of the top of a soft cover. However, if reinforced zones or
`doubler plates are provided to afford protection to the roof in
`the vicinity of the top corner fittings, such plates and their
`securements shall not protrude above the upper faces of the
`top corner fittings. These plates shall not extend more than
`750 mm1) from either end of the container but may extend the
`full width.
`
`5.3 Base structure
`
`5.3.1 All containers shall be capable of being supported by
`their bottom corner fittings only.
`
`5.3.2 All containers, other than 1 D and 1 DX, shall also be
`capable of being supported only by load transfer areas in their
`base structure.
`
`5.3.2.1 Consequently,
`these containers shall have end
`transverse members and sufficient intermediate load transfer
`areas (or a flat underside) of sufficient strength to permit ver-

`tical load transfer to or from the longitudinal member of a carry(cid:173)
`ing vehicle. Such longitudinal members are assumed to lie
`within the two 250 mm11 wide zones defined by the broken
`lines in figure B.1.
`
`part of the base of the container shall deflect more than 6 mm 11
`below the base plane (bottom faces of the lower corner
`fittings).
`
`5.3.2.2 The lower faces of the load transfer areas, including
`those of the end transverse members, shall be in one plane
`located
`
`12,5 mm :::~,5 mm1)
`
`above the plane of the bottom faces of the lower corner fittings
`of the container. Apart from the bottom corner fittings and bot(cid:173)
`tom side rails, no part of the container shall project below this
`plane.
`
`However, doubler plates may be provided in the vicinity of the
`bottom corner fittings to afford protection to the understruc(cid:173)
`ture.
`
`Such plates shall not extend more than 550 mm 1J from the
`outer end and not more than 470 mm'l from the sid~ faces of
`the bottom corner fittings, and their lower faces shall be at least
`5 mm 1) above the lower faces of the bottom corner fittings of
`the container.
`
`5.3.5 The base structure shall be designed to withstand all
`forces, particularly lateral forces, induced by the cargo in ser(cid:173)
`vice. This is particularly important where provisions are made
`for securement of cargo to the base structure of the container.
`
`5.4 End structure
`
`For all containers other than 1 D and 1 DX, the sideways deflec(cid:173)
`tion of the top of the container with respect to the bottom of
`the container, at the time it is under full transverse rigidity test
`conditions, shall not cause the sum of the changes in length of
`the two diagonals to exceed 60 mmll.
`
`5.5 Side structure
`
`For all containers other than 1 D and 1 DX, the longitudinal
`deflection of the top of the container with respect to the bot(cid:173)
`tom of the container, at the time it is under full longitudinal
`rigidity test conditions, shall not exceed 25 mm1).
`
`5.3.2.3 The transfer of load between the underside of the
`bottom side rails and carrying vehicles is not envisaged.
`
`5.6 Walls
`
`The transfer of load between side rails and handling equipment
`should only occur when provisions have been made in accord(cid:173)
`ance with 5.B.l and 5.B.2.
`
`Where openings are provided in end Qr side walls, the ability of
`these walls to withstand tests Nos. 5 and 6 shall not be
`impaired.
`
`5.3.2.4 Containers having all their intermediate transverse
`members spaced at 1 000 mm 11 apart or less (or having a flat
`underside) shall be deemed to comply with the requirements
`laid down in 5.3.2.1.
`
`5.3.2.5 Requirements for containers not having transverse
`members spaced 1 000 mm 1) apart or less (and not having a flat
`underside) are given in annex B.
`
`5.3.3 For containers 1 D and 1 DX, the level of the underside of
`the base structure is not specified, except in so far as it is
`implied in 5.3.4.
`
`5.3.4 For all containers under dynamic conditions, or the
`static equivalent thereof, with the container having a load
`uniformly distributed over the floor in such a way that the com(cid:173)
`bined mass of the container and test load is equal to 1,8 R, no
`
`5.7 Door opening
`
`Each container shall be provide with a door opening at least at
`one end.
`.
`
`All door openings and end openings shall be as large as
`possible.
`
`Closed-type containers designated lA, 1 B, 1 C and 1 D (types 00
`and 02) shall have a door opening, preferably having dimen(cid:173)
`sions equal to those of the internal cross-section of the con(cid:173)
`tainers and, in any case, not less than 2 134 mrn 11 high and
`2286 mm11 wide.
`
`Closed-type containers designated 1AA, 1B8 and 1CC (types
`00 and 02) shall have a door opening, preferably having dimen(cid:173)

`5.8 Requirements - Optional features
`
`5.S.1
`
`Fork~lift pockets
`
`Fork~lift pockets used for handling 1 ee, 1 e, 1 ex, 1 D
`5.8.1.1
`and 1 DX containers in the loaded or unloaded condition may be
`provided as optional features.
`
`Fork-lift pockets shall not be provided on 1AA, lA, 1AX, 1 BB,
`1 Band 1 BX containers.
`
`5.8.1.2 Where a set of fork-lift pockets has been fitted as in
`5.8.1.1, a second set of fork-lift pockets may, in addition, be
`provided on 1CC, 1C and leX containers for empty handling
`only.
`
`5.8,1.3 The fork-lift pockets, where provided, shall meet the
`dimensional requirements specified in annex C and shall pass
`completely through the base structure of the container so that
`lifting devices may be inserted from either side. It is not
`necessary for the base of the fork-lift pockets to be the full
`width of the container but it shall be provided in the vicinity of
`each end of the fork pockets.
`
`5.8.2 Grappler arms or similar devices
`
`Fixtures for handling all containers by means of grappler arms
`or similar devices may be provided as optional features. The
`dimensional requirements for such fixtures are specified in
`annex O.
`

`R
`
`T
`
`is the rating;
`
`is the tare.
`
`NOTE - R, Pand T, by definition, are in units of mass. Where test re(cid:173)
`quirements are based on the gravitational forcos derived from these
`values, those forces, which are inertial forces, are indicated thus:
`
`Rg, Pg, Tg
`
`the units of which are in newtons or multiples thereof.
`
`The word "load" t when used to describe a physical quantity to which
`units may be ascribed, implies mass.
`
`The word "loading", for example as in "internal loading", implies
`force.
`
`6.1.2 The test loads or loadings within the container shall be
`uniformly distributed.
`
`6.1.3 The test load or loading specified in all of the following
`tests are the minimum requirements.

`6.2 Test No.1 - Stacking
`
`6.2.1 General
`
`This test shall be carried out to prove the ability of a fully loaded
`container to support a superimposed mass of containers,
`taking into account conditions aboard ships at sea and the
`relative eccentricities between superimposed containers.
`
`Cargo securing devices may be provided as optional features in
`all series 1 general purpose containers. The requirements for
`such devices are specified in annex F.
`
`Table 3 specifies the force to be applied as a test to each pair of
`corner fittings and the superimposed mass that the test force
`represents.
`
`6 Testing
`
`6.1 General
`
`Unless otherwise stated l containers complying with the design
`requirements specified in clause 5 shall, in addition, be capable
`of withstanding the tests specified in 6.2 to 6.14, as applicable.
`Containers shall be tested in the condition in which they are
`designed to be operated. Also, containers equipped with
`removable structural items shall be tested with these items in
`position. It is recommended that the test for weatherproofness
`(test No. 13) be carried out last.
`
`6.2.2 Procedure
`
`The container shall be placed on four level pads, one under
`eacn bottom corner fitting.
`
`The pads shall be centralized under the fittings, and shall be
`substantially of the same plan dimensions as the fittings. The
`container shall have a load uniformly distributed over the floor
`in such a way that the combined mass of the container and the
`test load is equal to 1,8 R.
`
`The container shall be subjected to vertical forces, applied
`either to all four corner fittings simultaneously or to each pair of
`end fittings, at the appropriate level specified in table 3. The

`
`NOTE - The test force of 3 392 kN per container is derived from the superimposed mass of nine-high stacking, i.e. eight containers stacked on
`top of one container, all being rated to 24000 kg, and an acceleration force of 1,8 g. [The Garner posts of such containers are known to have been
`tested to 86400 kg (190 480 Ib).]
`
`forces shall be applied through a test fixture equipped with cor·
`ner fittings as specified in ISO 1161, or equivalent fittings
`which have imprints of the same geometry (i.e. with the same
`external dimensions, chamfered aperture and rounded edges)
`as the bottom face of the bottom corner fitting specified in
`ISO 1161. If equivalent fittings are used, they shall be designed
`to produce the same effect on the container under the test
`loads as when corner fittings are used.
`
`In all cases, the forces shall be applied in such a manner that
`rotation of the planes through which the forces are applied and
`on which the container is supported is minimized.
`
`Each corner fitting or equivalent test fitting shall be offset in the
`same direction by 25,4 mm11
`laterally and 38 mmll longi(cid:173)
`tudinally.

`from the four top corner fittings, with the lifting forces applied
`vertically, and the ability of a 1 D or a 10X container to with(cid:173)
`stand being lifted from the top corner fittings with the lifting.
`forces applied at any angle between the vertical and 60° to the
`horizontal, these being the only recognized methods of lifting
`these containers by the four top corner fittings.
`
`This test shall also be regarded as proving the ability of the floor
`and base structure to withstand the forces arising from
`acceleration of the payload in lifting operations.

`floor in such a way that the combined mass of the container
`and test load is equal to 2 R, and it shall be carefully lifted from
`all four top corners in such a way that no Significant acceler(cid:173)
`ation or deceleration forces are applied.
`
`For a container other than a 1 D or a lOX container, the lifting
`forces shall be applied vertically.
`
`For a 10 or a 10X container, lifting shall be carried out by
`means of slings, the angle of each leg being at 60° from the
`horizontal.
`
`After lifting, the container shall be suspended for 5 min and
`then lowered to the ground.
`
`6.3.3 Requirements
`
`Upon completion of the test, the container shall show neither
`permanent deformation which will render it unsuitable for use
`nor abnormality which will render it unsuitable for use, and the
`dimensional requirements affecting handling, securing and in(cid:173)
`terchange shall be satisfied.
