CONTAINER CERTIFICATION RULES REPLACE EARLIER ABS GUIDES

The 1974 Rules for Certification of Cargo Containers provide for the latest developments in container technology and the ISO International Standards. Prepared by the American Bureau of Shipping Special Committee on Cargo Containers, the Rules provide a structural certification that containers are built, tested and inspected by a surveyor of the Bureau and that his certification represents a quality of construction required by the Bureau. The 1974 Rules are written to suit future needs of industry and all those concerned with global containerization.
