The second sentence of paragraph (b) should read:
"A testing device loaded to a mass of 5,460 kilogrammes (12,000 lbs) that is 2,730 kg (6,000 lbs) on each of two surfaces having, when loaded, a total contact area of 284 cm2 (44 sq. in) that is
142 cm2 2 (22 sq. in) on each surface, the surface width being
180 mm (7 in) spaced 760 mm (30 in) apart, centre to centre, should be manoeuvred over the entire floor area of the container.
ANNEX II 5. LONGITUDINAL RESTRAINT (STATIC TEST)
TEST LOADINGS AND APPLIED FORCES should read:
"TEST LOAD AND APPLIED FORCES
Internal load:
A uniformly distributed load, such that the sum of mass of a container and test load is equal to the maximum operating gross mass or rating R. In the case of a tank-container, when the mass of the internal load plus the tare is less than the maximum gross mass or rating, R, a supplementary load is to be added to the container.
Externally applied forces:
Such as to subject side of the container to longitudinal compressive and tensile forces of magnitude Rg, that is, a combined force of 2 Rg on the base of the container as a whole."
ANNEX II 6. END-WALLS
The first paragraph should read:
"The end-walls should be capable of withstanding a force of not less than 0.4 times the force equal to gravitational force by maximum permissible payload. If, however, the end-walls are designed to withstand a force of less or greater than 0.4 times the
gravitational force by maximum permissible payload such a strength factor shall be indicated on the Safety Approval Plate in accordance with Annex I, regulation 1."
TEST LOADINGS AND APPLIED FORCES should read:
"TEST LOAD AND APPLIED FORCES
Internal loading:
Such as to subject the inside of an end-wall to a uniformly distributed force of 0.4 Pg or such other force for which the container may be designed.
Externally applied forces:
None."
