FOREWORD
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation
of national standards institutes (IS0 Member Bodies). The work of developing
International Standards is carried out through IS0 Technical Committees. Every
Member Body interested in a subject for which a Technical Committee has been set
up 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.
Draft International Standards adopted by the Technical Committees are circulated
to the Member Bodies for approval before their acceptance as International
Standards by the IS0 Council.
International Standard IS0 1496/1 (originally Draft International Standard
iSO/DiS 2973) was drawn up by Technical Committee ISO/TC 104, Freight
containers, and circulated to the Member Bodies in October 1972.
It has been approved by the Member Bodies of the following countries :
Australia Germany Romania
Austria Hungary South Africa, Rep. of
Belgium India Sweden
Brazil Israel Switzerland
Bulgaria Thailand
Japan
Netherlands Turkey
Canada
Czechoslovakia New Zealand United Kingdom
Egypt, Arab Rep. of Poland U.S.A.
France Portugal U.S.S. R.
This International Standard has also been approved by the International Union of
Railways (UIC).
No Member Body expressed disapproval of the document.
International Standard IS0 1496, parts I to VII, cancels and replaces IS0
