business and finance logistics and transportation industryHow long is a CSC plate valid for?
Besides, what is CSC Certificate for container?
In general, any container used for international transport must have a valid safety approval plate or "CSC plate". CSC is the abbreviation for Container Safety Convention. Outside of container: No holes or cracks in walls or roof.
Similarly, you may ask, can we load container without CSC plate?
It is an offence to knowingly use a defective container or one without a CSC plate for cargo carrying purposes. While new containers are given 5 years' grace prior to requiring inspection, this does not negate the need to maintain them in sound and safe condition.
A measuring tape or ruler is used to check dimensional tolerances and container alignment. If a container is "racked," diagonal corner-to-corner wall measurements will not match each other. Measuring tapes used for container inspections must be at least 25 feet long.
