1.

Maximum Operating Gross Mass (kilogrammes and lbs).

Allowable Stacking Load for 1.8 g (kilogrammes and lbs).

Transverse Racking Test Force (Newtons or N).

End Wall Strength to be indicated on plate only if end walls are designed to withstand force of less or greater than 0.4 times the gravitational force by maximum permissible payload, i.e. 0.4 Pg.

8. Side Wall Strength to be indicated on plate only if the side walls are designed to withstand force of less or greater than 0.6 times the gravitational force by maximum permissible payload, i.e. 0.6 Pg."

ANNEX II (STRUCTURAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS AND TESTS)

Introduction

The first sentence should read:

"In setting the requirements of this Annex, it is implicit that in all phases of the operations of containers the forces as a result of motion, location, stacking and gravitational effect of the loaded. container and external forces will not exceed the design strength of the container."

ANNEX II 1. LIFTING

(A) LIFTING FROM CORNER FITTINGS

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 container and test load is equal to 2R. In the case of a tank-container, when the test load of the internal load plus the tare is less than 2R, a supplementary load distributed over the length of the tank is to be added to the container.
