Sets out the basic requirements for the specification and testing of air/surface (intermodal) container for general cargo. Excludes requirements for containers to be transported by rotary-wing aircraft.

1.1 This International Standard sets out the basic requirements for the specification and testing of air/surface (intermodal) containers for general cargo, which are suitable for international exchange and for conveyance by road, rail and sea as well as by freighter versions of high capacity fixed-wing aircraft, including interchange between these modes of transport. 1.2 The coding, identification and marking of these containers shall be in accordance with ISO6346. To denote the container as an air/surface (intermodal) container, the symbol illustrated in figure1 shall be located at the top left-hand corner of the end walls and side walls and, as appropriate, on the roof, complying with the requirements of ISO6346 (see annexB.3 of this International Standard). NOTE- If any other markings are used on the container, they shall in no way interfere with the location of the marks required by ISO6346. 1.3 The container types covered by this International Standard are : Type Marking code identification Air/surface intermodal (general cargo) 90 to 99 : Fixed wing
