Freight containers - Coding, identification and marking (ISO 6346:2022, Corrected version 2022-08)

This document provides a system for the identification and presentation of information about freight containers. The identification system is intended for general application, for example in documentation, control and communications (including automatic data processing systems), as well as for display on the containers themselves.
The methods of displaying identification and certain other data (including operational data) on containers by means of permanent marks are included.
This document specifies:
a) a container identification system, with an associated system for verifying the accuracy of its use, having:
—    mandatory marks for the presentation of the identification system for visual interpretation, and
—    features to be used in optional Automatic Equipment Identification (AEI) and electronic data interchange (EDI);
b) a coding system for data on container size and type, with corresponding marks for their display;
c) operational marks, both mandatory and optional;
d) physical presentation of marks on the container.
The terms “mandatory” and “optional” in this document are used to differentiate those ISO marking provisions which shall necessarily be fulfilled by all containers from those which are not required of all containers. The optional marks are included to further comprehension and promote uniform application of the optional mark. If a choice has been made to display an optional mark, the provisions laid down in this document relating to the mark shall be applied. The terms “mandatory” and “optional” do not refer to requirements of any regulatory body.
This document applies to all freight containers covered by International Standards ISO 668, parts 1 to 5 of ISO 1496, ISO 8323 and should, wherever appropriate and practicable, be applied:
—    to containers other than those covered by the International Standards mentioned in Clause 2;
—    to container-related and/or detachable equipment.
NOTE 1    Containers marked according to previous editions of ISO 6346 need not be re-marked.
This document does not cover temporary operational marks of any kind, permanent marks, data plates, etc. which may be required by intergovernmental agreements, national legislation or nongovernmental organizations.
NOTE 2    Some of the major international conventions whose container-marking requirements are not covered in this document are as follows:
—     International Convention for Safe Containers (1972, as amended) (CSC), International Maritime Organization (IMO);
—     Customs Convention on Containers 1956 and 1972, related to temporary admission and transport under customs seal.
—     Convention on Temporary Admission (Istanbul, 26 June 1990), related to temporary admission.
It should not be assumed that this list is exhaustive.
This document does not cover the display of technical data on tank containers (see ISO 1496-3), nor does it, in any way, include identification marks or safety signs for items of cargo which may be carried in freight containers.

Frachtcontainer - Kodierung, Identifizierung und Kennzeichnung (ISO 6346:2022, korrigierte Fassung 2022-08)

Conteneurs pour le transport de marchandises - Codage, identification et marquage (ISO 6346:2022, Version corrigée 2022-08)

Le présent document fournit un système pour l’identification et la présentation d’informations relatives aux conteneurs pour le transport de marchandises. Le système d’identification est prévu pour une application générale (par exemple, pour la documentation, le contrôle et les communications, y compris les systèmes de traitement automatique des données) ainsi que pour le marquage sur les conteneurs eux-mêmes.
Les méthodes d’inscription de l’identification et de certaines autres informations (y compris les données opérationnelles) sur les conteneurs, au moyen de marques permanentes, sont incluses.
Le présent document spécifie:
a)    un système d’identification des conteneurs incluant un dispositif pour vérifier l’exactitude de son utilisation, avec:
—    des marques obligatoires pour la présentation du système d’identification aux fins d’interprétation visuelle, et
—    des éléments à utiliser pour l’identification (facultative) automatique des équipements (AEI) et l’échange électronique de données (EDI);
b)    un système de codage des données relatives aux dimensions et au type de conteneur, et les marques correspondantes à inscrire;
c)    des marques, obligatoires et facultatives, relatives à l’exploitation;
d)    une présentation physique des marques sur le conteneur.
Dans le présent document, les termes «obligatoires» et «facultatifs» sont utilisés pour différencier les dispositions relatives au marquage ISO, qui doivent nécessairement être respectées pour tous les conteneurs, des dispositions qui ne sont pas exigées pour tous les conteneurs. Les marques facultatives sont incluses pour faciliter la compréhension et encourager une application uniforme de ces marques. S’il a été décidé d’inscrire une marque facultative, les dispositions spécifiées dans le présent document relatives à cette marque s’appliquent. Les termes «obligatoire» et «facultatif» ne font pas référence aux exigences d’organismes de réglementation.
Le présent document s’applique à tous les conteneurs pour le transport de marchandises couverts par les Normes internationales ISO 668, ISO 1496 (Parties 1 à 5) et ISO 8323. À chaque fois que cela est approprié et possible, il convient qu’il s’applique:
—    aux conteneurs autres que ceux couverts par les Normes internationales mentionnées à l’Article 2;
—    aux équipements de conteneurs et/ou aux équipements amovibles.
NOTE 1        Il n’est pas nécessaire de marquer à nouveau les conteneurs déjà marqués conformément aux éditions précédentes de l’ISO 6346.
Le présent document ne couvre pas les marques temporaires relatives à l’exploitation (quel que soit leur type), les marques permanentes, les plaques d’identification, etc., qui peuvent être requises par des accords intergouvernementaux, par la législation nationale ou par des organisations non gouvernementales.
NOTE 2        Certaines des principales conventions internationales dont les exigences de marquage des conteneurs ne sont pas couvertes par le présent document sont indiquées ci-après:
—     Convention internationale sur la sécurité des conteneurs (1972, telle qu’amendée) (CSC), Organisation maritime internationale (OMI);
—     Convention douanière relative aux conteneurs (1956 et 1972), relative aux admissions temporaires et au transport sous scellement douanier;
—     Convention relative à l’admission temporaire (Istanbul, 26 juin 1990), relative aux admissions temporaires.
Il convient de ne pas considérer cette liste comme exhaustive.

Tovorni zabojnik - Kodiranje, identifikacija in označevanje (ISO 6346:2022, popravljena različica 2022-08)

1.1 Ta dokument zagotavlja sistem za identifikacijo in predstavitev informacij o tovornih zabojnikih. Ta sistem za identifikacijo je namenjen splošni uporabi, npr. pri dokumentaciji, nadzoru in komunikaciji (vključno z avtomatskimi sistemi za obdelavo podatkov), in za prikaz na samih zabojnikih.
Vključene so metode prikazovanja identifikacijskih in nekaterih drugih podatkov (vključno s podatki o delovanju) s trajnimi oznakami na zabojnikih.
1.2 Ta dokument določa:
a) sistem za identifikacijo zabojnikov in s tem povezan sistem za preverjanje pravilnosti njihove uporabe, ki zajema:
– obvezne oznake za predstavitev identifikacijskega sistema za vizualno interpretacijo
in
– lastnosti za uporabo pri neobvezni samodejni identifikaciji opreme (AEI) in elektronski izmenjavi podatkov
(EDI);
b) sistem kodiranja podatkov o velikosti in vrsti zabojnika s pripadajočimi oznakami za njun prikaz;
c) oznake o delovanju, tako obvezne kot neobvezne;
d) fizičen prikaz oznak na zabojniku.
1.3 Izraza »obvezen« in »neobvezen« se v tem dokumentu uporabljata za razlikovanje med
določili standardov ISO glede označevanja, ki jih morajo obvezno izpolnjevati vsi zabojniki, in določili, ki niso obvezna za vse zabojnike. Neobvezne oznake so vključene z namenom zagotavljanja dodatnih informacij in spodbujanja k enotni namestitvi neobveznih oznak. V primeru odločitve, da bo prikazana neobvezna oznaka, je treba uporabiti določila tega dokumenta, ki se navezujejo na tako oznako. Izraza »obvezen« in »neobvezen« se ne navezujeta na zahteve nobenega regulativnega organa.
1.4 Ta dokument se uporablja za vse tovorne zabojnike, ki jih obravnavajo mednarodni standardi ISO 668, deli od 1 do 5 standarda ISO 1496 in standard ISO 8323, priporočljivo pa ga je uporabiti (kadar je to primerno in izvedljivo) za:
– zabojnike, ki jih ne obravnavajo mednarodni standardi, navedeni v točki 2;
– opremo, povezano z zabojniki, in/ali snemljivo opremo.
OPOMBA 1: Zabojnikov, označenih v skladu s prejšnjimi izdajami standarda ISO 6346, ni treba ponovno označiti.
1.5 Ta dokument ne obravnava morebitnih začasnih oznak o delovanju, trajnih oznak,
napisnih ploščic itd., ki jih morda zahtevajo medvladni sporazumi, nacionalna zakonodaja ali nevladne organizacije.
OPOMBA 2: Pomembne mednarodne konvencije, katerih zahteve glede označevanja zabojnikov niso zajete v tem dokumentu, so med drugimi:
– Mednarodna konvencija o varnosti zabojnikov (CSC) (iz leta 1972, kot je bila spremenjena), Mednarodna pomorska organizacija (IMO);
– Carinska konvencija o zabojnikih iz leta 1956 in leta 1972 v zvezi z začasnim uvozom in prevozom pod carinsko oznako;
– Konvencija o začasnem uvozu (Istanbul, 26. junij 1990) v zvezi z začasnim uvozom.
Ta seznam se naj ne obravnava kot izčrpen.
Ta dokument ne obravnava prikaza tehničnih podatkov na cisternah-zabojnikih (glej standard ISO 1496-3), niti ne vključuje identifikacijskih oznak ali varnostnih znakov za kose tovora, ki jih lahko vsebujejo tovorni zabojniki.
