CSC container safety checklist

During your inspection, carefully verify that the CSC plate displays a valid approval number issued by an authorized agency, the container’s manufacture date, unique identification number, maximum gross weight capacity, allowable stacking weight at 1.8g, and either the next examination date for PES containers or ACEP marking for those under continuous examination programs. The plate must be permanently affixed to the container (typically on the left door) with all text clearly legible.

The template provides intuitive defect documentation with location-specific fields where you can record detailed descriptions, measurements, and severity ratings. You can capture photos directly through the mobile app and annotate them to highlight specific damage points like corner post deformation, door seal gaps, or floor punctures. Each documented defect automatically generates a condition report that maintenance teams can use to determine appropriate repairs.

Absolutely! While maintaining core CSC compliance elements, you can easily customize the template for specialized containers. For refrigerated containers, add temperature control system checks and insulation integrity verification. When using tank containers, incorporate pressure testing parameters and valve inspection points. For open-top containers, include tarpaulin condition assessment and securing mechanism verification—all while keeping the fundamental safety inspection framework intact.
