Specifies the basic requirements for specification and testing of Series 1 freight containers of the platform and platform-based types designated 1AA, 1A, 1AX, 1BB, 1B, 1BX, 1CC, 1C and 1CX, which are suitable for international exchange and for conveyance by road, rail and sea, including interchange between these forms of transport, with certain limitations (for example, when loaded, platforms cannot be stacked or top lifted by means of conventional spreaders). This Standard is reproduced from ISO 1496-5:1991, including amendment 1:1993 and Amendment 2:1994. Modifications to ISO requirements for application in Australia are included in an appendix.
