International Organization for Standardization
ISO Certification
To be an ISO certified container the newly manufactured container or modified container must pass all testing requirements per ISO 1496-1 tests or other pertinent ISO testing standard per container type. Once it passes all the tests it can be ISO certified and fit to travel safely internationally by ship, truck, and rail. It must also be in compliance with ISO 668, ISO 1161, and ISO 6346
ISO certification certifies that a management system, manufacturing process, service, or documentation procedure has all the requirements for standardization and quality assurance.
