IS 6566 : 2020/ISO 668 : 2020 Series 1 Freight Containers-Classification, Dimensions and Ratings

Revised Standard from Last Update.

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Fourth Revision) which is identical with ISO 668 : 2020 ‘Series 1 freight containers — Classification, dimensions and ratings’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Transport Packages, Packaging Codes, Freight Containers and Pallets Sectional Committee and approval of the Transport Engineering Division Council.

The third revision of this standard was published in 2001. The fourth revision of this standard has been undertaken to align it with the latest version of ISO 668 : 2020.

The text of ISO Standard has been proposed to be approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions and terminologies are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma ( , ) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point ( . ) as the decimal marker.
