The “Convention<\/strong>for Safe<\/strong> Containers<\/strong>” was adopted by the IMO(International<\/strong> Maritime<\/strong> Organization<\/strong>) in 1972 and incorporated into German law in 1976 with its publication in the Federal Law Gazette.<\/p>\n\n

This is a set of rules designed to ensure that all container manufacturers and owners worldwide manufacture, test and repair the means of transport according to uniform criteria. The regulations are technically consolidated by a number of ISO standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CSC rule stipulates that containers must be regularly inspected after they are put into service and repaired if necessary. The first test period is 5 years and all subsequent periods are 2 \u00bd years or 30 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inspection date must be visible on the CSC sticker, which every seaworthy container must have. The letters and numbers on the sticker must be at least 5 mm in size and must also be permanently legible.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
