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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).

Introduction
[11]
ISO 10855 (all parts) meets the requirements of IMO MSC/Circular 860 for the design, construction,
inspection, testing and in-service examination of offshore containers and associated lifting sets which
are handled in open seas.
This document does not specify certification requirements for offshore containers which are covered
by the IMO Circular 860 and SOLAS. IMO MSC/Circ.860 requires certification of offshore containers
“by national administrations or organizations duly authorized by the Administration”, which should
take account of both the calculations and the testing, “taking into account the dynamic lifting and
impact forces that can occur when handling such equipment in open seas”. Further information about
certification can be found in informative Annex A of this document.
ISO 10855 (all parts) does not cover operational use or maintenance, for which there are a number of
industry guidelines which can be referred to. Some are listed in the Bibliography.
Under conditions in which offshore containers are often transported and handled, the 'normal' rate of
wear and tear is high, and damage necessitating repair will occur. However, containers designed and
manufactured according to ISO 10855 (all parts) will have sufficient strength to withstand the normal
forces encountered in offshore operations, and will not suffer complete failure even if subject to more
extreme loads.

5 Container inspection plate
5.1 General
Containers shall be fitted with a plate carrying the information specified in 5.2.
The plate shall be made of corrosion-resistant material securely attached externally in a manner
designed to avoid unauthorized or accidental removal. The plates shall be fitted to a door, or on
containers with no doors, in a prominent position.
Aluminium rivets have been found to be unsuitable as a fixing method in the offshore environment and
shall not be used. The information on the plate shall be in the English language.
NOTE Provision for an additional language can be made.
The text shall be permanently and legibly marked on the plates in characters not less than 4 mm high.
5.2 Contents of inspection plate
The plate shall be headed 'OFFSHORE CONTAINER INSPECTION PLATE - ISO 10855-3'.
The plate shall contain the following information:
a) owner’s container number;
b) owner’s name;
c) date of last inspection.
The date of last inspection shall be the date on which the most recent inspection was carried out to the
satisfaction of the competent person.
To avoid confusion, the plate shall not carry the date of the next inspection. Provision shall be made on
the plate to facilitate permanent marking to record a minimum of nine inspections.
NOTE 1 For marking of the inspection plate, see Clause 10.
NOTE 2 In some markets it is common practice to mark an initial inspection date on the inspection plate
before the container is taken into use.
A recommended format for the plate is shown in Figure 1.

ISO 10855-3:2018(E)

The inspection plate may be combined with the data plate by including the additional information
specified in ISO 10855-1:2018, 10.2.
6 Schedule of periodic inspection/examination and test — Containers
Containers shall be periodically inspected, examined and, if necessary, tested in accordance with the
schedule listed in Table 1.
Inspection bodies performing such inspections should ensure the quality of the inspection work
through meeting the requirements for type B inspection bodies in ISO/IEC 17020.
NOTE 1 Guidance as to the recommended knowledge and experience of staff responsible for inspections for
the purposes of ISO/IEC 17020 is given in Annexes B and C.
When the schedule includes a lifting test, the non-destructive examination and visual inspection shall
both be carried out after the lifting test.
NOTE 2 The inspection body can require other or additional inspections, examinations and or tests.

  A substantial repair or alteration means any repair and/or alteration carried out, which may, in the opinion
of an inspection body, affect the primary elements of the offshore container, or elements which contribute
directly to its structural integrity.
b
  The inspection body may require other or additional inspections, examinations and or tests.
7 Container lifting test
7.1 General
The container shall be loaded to give a total mass of 2,5 R and lifted using all the pad eyes.
NOTE This total mass can be obtained by putting in an internal test mass of 2,5 R−T.
The test masses/test load shall normally be evenly distributed inside the container. If it is not possible to
place the entire test mass inside the container, some of it may be placed outside or under the container,
provided that this gives a loading on the structure similar to the distribution of the container loading in
operating condition.
If the container has an additional cargo deck, the test mass/test load shall be evenly divided between
the floor and the additional deck. If the additional deck is removable, it will be necessary to carry out
the test with the test mass/test load divided between the additional deck and the floor, as well as with
the whole test mass/test load on the floor.

SIST EN ISO 10855-3:2018
ISO 10855-3:2018(E)

The container shall be lifted by a lifting set with an angle to the vertical equal to the design angle and
shall be held, clear of the ground, throughout the test.
Where the lifting set, intended for use with the container, is used for the lifting test, care should be
taken to ensure that no overloading, deformation or distortion is induced in the lifting set. Should the
lifting set normally fitted to the container be used for the lifting test it shall be visually inspected after
the load test by an inspection body as per the requirements of this document.
The container shall be carefully lifted in such a way that no significant acceleration forces occur. It shall
be held for 5 min before measurements are taken.
1
No deflections during testing shall be greater than of the span of the member. The offshore
300
container shall show no permanent deformation or other damage after testing.
7.2 Test equipment and calibration
The force shall be applied using calibrated weights and lifting the container by a lifting appliance or by
means of a suitable test rig (see ISO 10855-1:2018, 7.3.2).
8 Non-destructive examination (NDE) of welds
8.1 General
The NDE of welds on pad eyes and adjoining structures shall be carried out in accordance with the
schedule of examination and tests specified in Table 1.
NOTE Alternative or additional examination can be required by the inspection body.
8.2 NDE methods
NDE methods (see Table 2) shall be chosen with due regard to the conditions influencing the sensitivity
of the methods. Structural welds shall be examined as stipulated in columns I to IV of Table 7 in
ISO 10855-1: 2018 with the method in columns III or IV being employed in the event that such is relevant.
