CSC container inspections
CSC container inspections
We can issue CSC type approval for new or modified containers manufactured in Finland for international transport. In the design, manufacture and testing of the container, we ensure compliance with safety regulations in accordance with the ISO 1496 standard. The type approval process starts with a review of the application, plans, drawings, calculations and other documents relevant to compliance. Once the plans have been approved, we authorise the manufacture of a prototype, which is subjected to the tests required for the container type under the supervision of our inspector. Once the tests have been approved, we issue final type approval for the container, which entitles the manufacturer to affix the CSC safety plate to the container.
