Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of
preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which
a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented
on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-
governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard ISO 9897 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 104, Freight containers, Subcommittee SC 4, Identification and
communication.
This first edition of ISO 9897 cancels and replaces the first editions of
ISO 9897-1:1990 and ISO 9897-3:1990, which have been technically
revised.
Annexes A to H and K, L form an integral part of this International
Standard.
Annexes J and M are for information only.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD  ISO ISO 9897:1997(E)
Freight containers — Container equipment data exchange
(CEDEX) — General communication codes
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies general communication codes for container equipment data exchange
(CEDEX).
It is intended for business entities for use in communications relating to freight container transactions.
2 Normative references
The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this
International Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to
revision, and parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the
possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards indicated below. Members of IEC and ISO maintain
registers of currently valid International Standards.
ISO 3166:1993,
Codes for the representation of names of countries.
ISO 6346:1995,
Freight containers — Coding, identification and marking.
UN/EDIFACT
Draft Directory and Standard Directory.
3 Principle
In ISO 9897, codes are assigned to pieces of information, called "data elements", which are commonly used in
transactions relating to freight containers. These data elements are named and defined, and each element is
assigned a CEDEX alphabetical or alphanumeric code. Separate code lists for each type of information (damage,
component, repair, location, etc.) are maintained. A code may be reused in several different code lists, but a code is
never used for more than one data element within a single code list.
The data element may be phrased about material of construction of a container. For example, CEDEX code "LS" in
material type code list (Annex E) stands for "wood, soft laminated plank". A code may define the component of the
container that is damaged, its location, or its operating defect, depending on which data element is being defined. A
selection is made from the appropriate code list to indicate which component, location, or defect, respectively, is
chosen. An example of the latter is CEDEX code "MF", drawn from the damage type code list (Annex D), which
stands for "motor failure". Other coded data elements indicate essential physical characteristics of the container and
information pertinent to the use and management of the container, such as names and addresses of owners.
It can be seen from these examples that the text of a message can be substantially reduced in length by using the
CEDEX codes instead of plain language. Use of the CEDEX codes results in messages much reduced in length,
transmission time and communication cost, yet conveying information as complete as a much longer plain-language
message.

ISO
ISO 9897:1997(E)
Through proper programming of a computer, a CEDEX-encoded message can be printed out in plain language for
the benefit of the communicators, if so desired, or it can be left in its encoded form. The personnel using the code
routinely will develop the skill of being able to read messages in coded form; in fact, experience using the code has
borne out this assertion. Also, many operators will not require use of all CEDEX codes assigned in ISO 9897, but
only a portion of them due to the limited variety of containers and chassis in their domain.
4 Data elements and codes
4.1 Data elements
Data elements and corresponding code sets required to describe equipment components, their condition, repair
methods, etc., are included in the appropriate annex shown in table 1.
4.2 Code assignments
4.2.1 CEDEX codes
All code assignments of CEDEX shall be taken as obligatory. That is, an operator shall not pick and choose
alternative codes unilaterally, nor depart from the established protocol, nor introduce new codes without having
registered the codes in accordance with 4.3.
However, two trading partners may agree mutually to use alternative codes if the necessary codes are not included
in this International Standard. It is strongly recommended that such codes be registered in accordance with 4.3 as
soon as possible after introduction.
4.2.2 EDIFACT codes
Code assignments according to Annex A shall taken as obligatory. That is, for electronic data interchange
transmission, an operator shall not pick and choose alternative codes unilaterally and shall not use the message
types and codes contained in Annex A of ISO 9897-1:1990 (i.e the first edition of this International Standard).
Note - Annex J is at the moment merely informative; it describes the manner in which a directory of users will eventually be
developed. Until the directory is issued, annex J is not a mandatory requirement of this International Standard.

Telefax: [phone]
Internet: http://www.intermodalrepairers.com
Additional data elements will be added to table 1 at the request of international organizations, ISO/TC 104 member
bodies, and approval of TC 104/SC 4. The actual process of registration will be performed by the TC 104/SC 4
Secretariat in consultation with the experts of TC 104 /SC 4/WG 3.
Each additional data element will be allocated an alphabetic or alphanumeric code, not at present used within the
same code list covering a type of data.

Annex C
(normative)
Codes — Damage location
(see 4.1 and 4.2)
C.1 Location coding convention
The location coding convention consists of three parts:
a)  For dry cargo, open top, thermal, tanks, and other container types:
—  A 1200 mm x 1200 mm (4 ft x 4 ft) numerical square system is used to identify damage to any face of a
20 ft or 40 ft container.
—  A 600 mm x 600 mm (2 ft x 2 ft) numerical square system is used to identify damage to any face of a 10 ft
container.
—  A 900 mm x 900 mm (3 ft x 3 ft) numerical square system is used to identify damage to any face of a 30 ft
container.
b)  For container ancillary equipment, which are an integral part of the container, such as reefer machinery, tank
specific components, diesel generator set:
—  The location field is used to indicate the functional group to which a component belongs.
c)  For chassis:
—  As indicated in C.1.3.
C.2 All container bodies, refrigeration units, and generator sets (except chassis)
The container location coding convention locates damages within an area as large as a complete face of the
container or as small as a nominal 1200 mm x 1200 mm (4 ft x 4 ft) square, or even less for the main components
located on its edges (rails, corner posts).
The location code shall consist of four characters depending upon the area to be described. It identifies the smallest
area containing the entire vertical and horizontal length of the damage.
C.2.1 First character
The first character shall be selected to identify the appropriate face of the container (if applied to a rectilinear closed
container) or to the type of unit (if applied to a generator set, refrigeration unit, or tank container). For examples of
use of codes for units other than closed containers or platforms, see C.1.2.

ISO
ISO 9897:1997(E)
C.2.2 Second character
It shall be selected to identify the appropriate part of the container face where the damage is contained, when
applied to a closed container. The vertical faces of the container are divided into top and bottom halves and upper
and lower main components. The horizontal faces of the container (roof or top and floor or bottom and
understructure) are divided into right and left halves when viewed from the door end.
The relevant codes for CLOSED CONTAINERS are:
both halves (i.e. top and bottom, or left and right or centre) X
bottom half B
higher portion (upper) H
left half L
lower portion (ground) G
right half R
top half T
For other types of units, such as refrigeration units and generator sets, the second character designates the major
assembly of the unit in which the damage is found. See C.1.2 for examples of how these codes are used. (Codes
for chassis are shown in C.1.3.)
The relevant codes for REFRIGERATION UNITS are:
compressor Q
condenser K
electrical E
evaporator V
frame F
miscellaneous Z
piping P
regulation/control C
unspecified assembly N
whole unit X
The relevent codes for GENERATOR SETS are:
alternator L
electrical E

ISO
ISO 9897:1997(E)
C.2.3 Third and fourth characters
They shall be selected to identify the section of the container part in which the damage is contained.
On all containers the front and door ends are divided into vertical sections numbered as follows when viewed from
the door end from left to right:
1  for the left-hand side corner post
2  for the left half
3  for the right half
4  for the right-hand side corner post.
On all containers the right and left sides, the roof, the floor and the understructure, are divided into equal sections:
—  for 10 ft and 20 ft containers, five sections numbered 1 to 5
—  for 30 ft and 40 ft containers, ten sections numbered 1 to 0 ( 1, 2, 3,., 9, 0).
When the damage covers one section only, the third character indicates the appropriate section number and the
fourth character shall be N [see figure C.1a)].
When the damage covers several adjacent sections the first and last section numbers are used [see figure C.1b)].
When the damage covers several non-adjacent sections or if damage repair details are not the same, then separate
line items shall be used [see figure C.1c)].
When the damage covers the entire length of the container face, the third and fourth characters shall each be X
[see figure C.1d)].
The third and fourth characters of units other than closed containers, chassis and platforms, such as refrigeration
units, generator sets, and tank containers, shall be "NN". No further identification of the location of components on
these units is required.
C.2.4 General location coding
When the damage/action covers several faces of the inside of the container such as steam cleaning, inside
refurbishment, refixing or sealing of panels, then the code IXXX shall be used.
When the damage/action covers several faces of the outside of the container such as outside refurbishment,
refixing or sealing of panels, removing of cargo stickers, then the code EXXX shall be used.
When the damage/action covers several inside and outside faces of the container such as examinations,
handling/transport, complete refurbishing, then the code XXXX shall be used.
C.2.5 Examples of location coding for containers
Examples of location coding of components of typical containers are shown below. A diagram showing the
components is shown in Figure C.1.
NOTE - LHS = left-hand side;
RHS = right-hand side;
* = specific sequential number of component will be defined in separate free-text field.

C.3 Ancillary equipment
The specific components of ancillary equipment which are an integral part of a container such as refrigeration
machinery, diesel generator, tank fittings are identified
—  firstly, by the two alpha characters selected to identify the major functional group to which the component
belongs: they are the first and second characters of the location code;
—  secondly, by the code NN: it forms the third and fourth characters of the location code.
