Description / Abstract:
This International Standard establishes uniform procedures for
the classification, acceptance, and withdrawal of mechanical
freight container seals. It provides a single source of information
on mechanical seals which are acceptable for securing freight
containers in international commerce.
NOTE The purpose of mechanical seals is, as part of a security
system, to determine whether a freight container has been tampered
with, i.e. whether there has been unauthorized entry into the
container through its doors. Seals can be effective only if seal
users properly select, store, account for, apply, document, and
attend to seals prior to use and in use; while these issues are not
addressed in this International Standard, they are relevant to
successful use of the seals covered by this International
Standard.
Seals that conform to this International Standard are suitable
for other applications, such as bulk railcars or trucks trailers
used in cross-border and domestic operations. Users and regulators
agencies can apply this International Standard to other
applications as they deem appropriate.
