The International Convention for Safe Containers, 1972 (CSC 1972) has two goals:- to maintain a high level of safety of human life in the transport and handling of containers by providing acceptable test procedures and related strength requirements; and- to provide uniform international safety regulations, equally applicable to all modes of surface transport, thereby avoiding the proliferation of divergent national regulations.
-
The amendments to CSC 1972 adopted by resolutionMSC.355(92) entered into force on 1 July 2014 and include: – new definitions at the beginning of annexes I and II, along with consequential amendments to ensure uniform usage of terminology throughout SC 1972;- amendments to align all physical dimensions and units to the SI system;- the introduction of a transitional period for marking containers with restricted stacking capacity, as required under the relevant standard; and-the inclusion in annex III of the list of deficiencies which do not require an immediate out-of-service decision by the control officer but do require additional safety measures to enable safe ongoing transport.
