AS 3711.1:2015 pdf download.Freight containers Part 1: Classification, dimensions and ratings (IsO 668:2013, MOD).

5.1 Reference temperature for measurements

The dimensions and tolerances apply when measured at the temperature of 20°C (68 °F); measurements taken at other temperatures

shall be adjusted accordingly.

5.2 External dimensions, tolerances and ratings

5.2.1 External dimensions and tolerances

The external dimensions and permissible tolerances given in [irnle 2 are applicable to all types of containers, except that a

reduced height is permissible for tank, open top, bulk, platform and platform- based type containers.

5.2.2 RatIngs

The ratings given in Table 2 are applicable to all types of containers, except that for particular traffic higher values are

permissible for 1 BBB, 1 BR, 1 B, 1 BX, 1 CC, 1 C and 1 CX containers of any type. Such containers are considered as ISO containers provided that their maximum gross mass (R) does not exceed 30 480 kg and that they are tested and marked to these ratings

(see 3.3).

WARNING — Recognizing that there will always be a need for special containers for particular traffic, attention is drawn to the

fact that numerous containers exist which have length and width dimensions similar to those of ISO series 1 containers but have

ratings and/or heights in excess of those defined by this International Standard. This may include containers having maximum gross masses in excess of the ratings in Table 2. They may not, therefore, be fully intermodal worldwide and their operation could

require special arrangements.
