Essential Checklist for Ensuring Proper Iso Container Inspection


The International Standards Organisation (ISO) has established a set of guidelines for the inspection of intermodal containers. Before any container is put into service, it is important to inspect it to ensure that it is safe and fit for use. This ISO container inspection checklist is designed to help you do just that. Intermodal containers, most commonly known as freight containers, are containers that are enclosed by steel structures that have an opening on both ends for access. These are used for transporting various materials, resources, and equipment on both land and sea.


The purpose of an ISO container inspection checklist is to ensure the structural integrity of the shipping container before being used to contain and ship the intended cargo. Doing so prevents any accidents that will cause harm to workers working with the container and prevent damage to the carried goods inside the container. With an ISO container inspection checklist form pdf, provided by Lumiform, you ensure that other auxiliary components of the container are in good condition to maintain perishable goods and prevent contamination from carrying hazardous materials.

You should seek your professional advice to determine whether the use of such a checklist is appropriate in your workplace or jurisdiction.
