BS ISO 1496-2:1996 is a British Standard that provides specifications and testing requirements for Series 1 freight containers, specifically focusing on thermal containers. Series 1 containers are commonly used in the international shipping and transportation of goods. These containers come in various types, and thermal containers are designed to provide temperature-controlled environments for the cargo they carry.
The standard BS ISO 1496-2:1996 addresses the following aspects of thermal containers:
General Specifications: It outlines the overall design and construction requirements for thermal containers, including dimensions, materials, and structural considerations.
Thermal Performance: This standard likely provides information on the thermal insulation properties of these containers, including their ability to maintain a specific temperature range for the cargo they carry.
Testing Requirements: It specifies the tests and procedures that need to be conducted to ensure the thermal containers meet the required standards. This may include tests for thermal performance, structural integrity, and other relevant factors.
Marking and Identification: The standard may also detail how thermal containers should be marked and identified, making it easy to determine their specifications and compliance with the standard.
It's important to note that this specific standard, BS ISO 1496-2:1996, is no longer the most current version, and it's possible that revisions or updates have been made since its publication in 1996. It's recommended to refer to the most recent version or the specific national or international standards in use at the time for the most accurate and up-to-date information on Series 1 thermal containers. You can obtain the latest version of the standard from the British Standards Institution (BSI) or the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) if they have published updates or replacements.
