CSC PLATING FOR STANDARD SHIPPING CONTAINERS

Standard ISO shipping containers come with a valid CSC plate for five years from the date of manufacture. Although these containers are built to last much longer, regular inspections are essential to ensure they continue to meet international safety and structural integrity standards.

THE CSC PLATE

The CSC plate on each container signifies adherence to these important safety standards.

This initiative, established by the International Maritime Organisation and the United Nations, aimed to ensure safe handling, stacking, and transportation of shipping containers globally. Its purpose was to protect those handling the containers and to provide a set of universally agreed-upon regulations, enhancing safety in the worldwide movement of containers.

CSC PLATE RENEWAL

At Pentalver Container Sales and Conversions we offer a full container inspection, maintenance, and certification services, including:

  • CSC inspection and re-certification
  • Repairs (if needed to pass certification)
  • Issuing updated CSC plates

FAQs

You should periodically service the moving parts of the door locking gear and check that the door seals are fixed securely to the door frames. A visual inspection of the exterior of the roof is also recommended. Fixing small areas of corrosion in the early stages will prevent possible leaks.

The anticipated length of usage as a storage container depends on its condition at point of sale, the careful use and regular maintenance. Painting and servicing can prolong the life of a container.

Before purchasing a container, consider how long you actually require one. If it’s only for short period it may be more economic to simply hire one. Should you buy one and wish to dispose of it at a later date, we would be pleased to make you an offer.
