Sea Containers, also known as sea transport Containers, refer to metal containers used in sea transport for loading goods. The vessel has strong structural performance and durability to withstand the harsh environment at sea. In order to ensure its quality and safety, the production of Customized Shipping Containers needs to follow a series of standards.

Below, we will elaborate on the production standards of customized shipping containers in detail.

1. International standard

The important standards for the production of Customized Shipping Containers are international standards, which are mainly formulated and maintained by the United Nations International Maritime Organization and the International Organization for Standardization. International standards clearly stipulate the size, quality, structure, and dangerous goods certification of Customized Shipping Containers, and require manufacturers to carry out strict quality control and testing of products.

Specifically, international standards mainly include the following aspects:

- Dimension standards: International standards stipulate the size range of sea containers for different purposes, including standard containers, high-board containers, open-top containers, etc. For example, a standard container has a length of 20 feet (about 6 meters) or 40 feet (about 12 meters), a width of 8 feet (about 2.4 meters), and a height of 8.5 feet (about 2.6 meters).

- Quality standards: International standards stipulate the maximum load capacity, self-weight and effective cargo space of various containers to ensure their carrying capacity and transportation efficiency.

- Structural standards: International standards require that the structure and materials of containers must meet certain requirements, including plate thickness, welding quality, door lock mechanism, angle iron and other auxiliary components.

- Safety certification: International standards require that all Customized Shipping Containers must undergo strict safety certification and have corresponding signs to ensure that they can safely transport goods and protect the interests of users.

2. National standard

In addition to international standards, different countries have also formulated sea container standards applicable to their own sea transportation. For example, China has a national standard "Technical Conditions for Customized Shipping Containers", which specifies specific regulations on the size, structure, quality, inspection, certification, and transportation of Customized Shipping Containers. In addition, some regional and industry organizations will also formulate professional standards for Customized Shipping Containers to meet the needs of different industries.

3. Manufacturer's standard

In the process of producing Customized Shipping Containers, manufacturers will also formulate some specific production standards based on their respective technical strength and market demand. For example, some internationally renowned manufacturers will have further requirements on the steel plate thickness, plate material, anti-corrosion method, etc. of their products on the basis of international standards, and will produce customized products according to the specific needs of customers.

Summarize

Sea container is an extremely important logistics equipment in international sea transportation, its quality and safety are directly related to the quality and transportation efficiency of sea freight. In order to ensure the quality and standards of its production, the production of Customized Shipping Containers needs to follow a series of international and national standards. At the same time, manufacturers need to further improve the production standards according to market demand to ensure product quality and market competitiveness.
