Valid CSC plates are an ongoing assurance of a container’s quality & safety compliance. They also display the container’s:

  • Prefix & number
  • Max gross weight
  • Allowable stacking weight

The general guidelines for CSC certification are as follows:

  • The roof & walls of the container should be in weatherproof condition
  • Doors open and close with ease
  • The floor is structurally sound and intact
