`
`1.1 This
`International Standard provides a system
`for the identification
`and presentation
`of information
`about
`freight 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.

`and certain

`The methods of displaying
`other data (including operational data) on containers
`by means of permanent marks are included.

`All containers higher than 2,6 m (8 ft 6 in) shall bear

`in annex F;
`
`to that de-
`
`b) an area of alternating black and yellow stripes on
`the top members of each end frame and side wall
`at each corner adjacent
`to the corner

`300 mm
`(12 in) minimum
`length,
`that can be
`seen
`from
`the ground or
`from
`the
`top
`(see
`figure 5).
`
`In addition, any other optional marks, such as a mirror
`image of the mark described
`in annex F, may be dis-
`played at any convenient
`location (e.g. front wall).

`
`to mark containers
`industry practice
`It is common
`with maximum payload, or net mass,
`in addition
`to
`maximum gross and tare masses.
`
`If used, the maximum net mass should be marked on
`a container
`in accordance with

`the maximum gross and tare
`masses as follows:

`The layout of the owner code, equipment
`identifier, serial number and check digit on containers
`shall preferably be in one single horizontal
`line (see
`figure I). Where constructional
`features of the con-
`tainer dictate otherwise,
`the
`layout may be vertical
`(see figure 2).
`
`The layout of size and type codes should, as far as
`practicable, be in a single horizontal
`line underneath
`the horizontal
`line giving
`the owner code, equipment
`category
`identifier, serial number and check digit (see
`figure 1).

`When the owner code, equipment category

`If, on some special-purpose
`zontal or fully vertical
`layout is not possible,
`the layout
`of the other mandatory
`identification marks shall be
`maintained

`specified below (see figures 3 and 4).
