Revised Standard from Last Update.

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Third Revision) which is identical with ISO 3874 : 2017 ‘Series 1 freight containers - Handling and securing’ 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 had been approved by the Transport Engineering Division Council.

This standard was originally published in 1975 and subsequently revised in 1991, and 2001. First revision of this standard was identical with ISO 3874 : 1988. Second revision of this standard was identical with ISO 3874 : 1997. The third revision of this standard has been undertaken to align it with the latest version of ISO 3874 : 2017.

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions 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.
