Externally applied forces:

Such as to lift the sum of mass of 2R in the manner prescribed (under the heading TEST PROCEDURES)."

(B) LIFT BY ANY OTHER ADDITIONAL METHODS

(i) Lifting from fork lift pockets:

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 1.25R.

Externally applied forces:

Such as to lift the sum of mass of 1.25R in the manner prescribed (under the heading TEST PROCEDUres)."

(ii) Lifting from grappler arm positions:

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 1.25R. In the case of a tank-container, when the test load of the internal load plus the tare is less than 1.25R, a supplementary load distributed over the length of the tank is to be added to the container.

Externally applied forces:

Such as to lift the sum of mass of 1.25R in the manner prescribed (under the heading TEST PROCEDURES)."

(iii) Other methods

TEST PROCEDURES should read:

"Where containers are designed to be lifted in the loaded condition by any method not mentioned in (A) or (B)(i) and (ii) they shall also be tested with the INTERNAL LOAD AND EXTERNALLY APPLIED FORCES representative of the acceleration conditions appropriate to that

method."
