Deflection Damage Criteria Deflection criteria are commonly used for damages such as dents or bows. This is the most common type of damage inspection criteria. It is based on setting a maximum dimensional limit on how far a component's surface can be permanently deflected from its original position. If the deflection is greater than the limit, repair is required. Envelope Damage Criteria Envelope damage criteria are commonly used for out-of-ISO and into-cube damages. Envelope damage criteria are based on allowing a component to deflect any amount provided the component stays within a reference plane or between a set of reference planes. The reference planes are usually planes that form an envelope on one or both sides of the component. The reference planes are often not physical surfaces on the container. Instead, they are virtual planes positioned in space a specified distance from physical surfaces on the container. When a component is permanently deflected beyond the reference plane, repair is required. All rails, including side rails, headers and sills // Repair if....

Bow A gradual (not abrupt) deformation of the entire length of the component in a direction perpendicular to the length Broken Fractured or shattered into two or more separate pieces Bushing A tubular enclosure surrounding a rotating shaft which reduces friction against rotation, and may reduce electrolytic corrosion Caulking (Sealant) Material used to seal all joints and riveted seams to ensure watertightness. Caulking is used between wood flooring and board edges, sides and end frame assembly Center Rail A steel section, found in many containers with plywood panel flooring, running along the center of the container from the rear sill to the front sill (or to the tunnel bolster) and separating the plywood panels along the longitudinal center line. This component often has a "hat-shaped" section, but a flat bar may also be used in some cases for the same center rail function Chassis A vehicle built specifically for the purpose of transporting a container, so that when the chassis and container are assembled, the unit produced serves the same function as a road trailer
Consolidated Date Plate A single rectangular marking pate affixed to the door which containers certification information applicable to more than one convention, regulation or other certification Container A rectangular structure of standardized dimensions, designed to carry unit loads, packages or bulk cargo, and which is quickly transferable as a complete module between a number of modes of transportation. (Unless otherwise stated, this manual refers to "dry-van" or closed containers, whose cargo space is enclosed and weathertight when the container is carrying cargo.) Corner fitting (Corner casting) A steel component located at each of the container's eight corners (top and bottom) and welded to corner post and rail. The corner fitting (or corner casting) has apertures allowing the container to be handled, stacked and secured. Corner protection plate (corner gusset) An additional plate attached to the container roof, adjacent to the top corner fittings, providing protection from misuse of spreader equipment. Cracked Having a break which penetrates the entire thickness of material and causes it to split slightly. In addition, if a weld between two panels or two different metal components has any break in it, even if the entire thickness of the weld material is not penetrated, that weld is considered "cracked". Crossmember

EIR An abbreviation for "Equipment Interchange Receipt." A document executed at the time of delivery, which attests to the interchange of a container, and which is normally signed by both parties. End Frame The components at either end of a container consisting of two corner posts, top and bottom corner fittings, header (top end rail) and sill (bottom end rail). The end frame components include the end frame plus the front wall and the doors, including all door hardware. Flange (bottom and top) A protruding edge used to strengthen a structural member by resisting tension or compression forces. The bottom flange is below the vertical portion (web) of the member and the top flange is above the web. Forklift pocket A special transverse component on the base structure of most 20ft and some 40ft containers enabling a forklift truck to insert tines in order to lift and handle the container. The forklift pocket is enclosed with a top plate, sides, and a bottom plate ("strap") at each end of the pocket entrance. It extends through the bottom rails, forming an open "pocket" inside the rails.
Frame The peripheral structural assembly, including corner fittings, rails and/or posts, around one face of the container Gooseneck On a drop-frame chassis, the upper level of the front of the chassis, together with the structure connecting it to the lower level behind it.
