What Is CSC Certification for Shipping Containers?

CSC means ‘Container Safe Convention.’ The CSC standards were created by the International Convention for Safe Containers, which was formed in 1972 to help promote safety in the shipping industry by standardising factors such as strength requirements and testing procedures.

A CSC plate lists important features of the container, which essentially let people know the container is safe for use and is capable of withstanding the sometimes heavy stresses of shipping cargo cross-country and overseas.

A CSC safety plate will list the following information:The maximum gross weight

• Allowable stacking weight
• The racking test load
• Where the container was approved for CSC certification
• When the container was first manufactured

What if Your Shipping Container Doesn’t Have a CSC Plate?

If you plan to use your container to transport or international shipping then its important to have a valid csc plate on the container. If you are planning to use your container for domestic storage, then a csc plate is not really important aside from resale value. The csc plate is often removed for aesthetic purposes for domestic storage containers or modified shipping containers.
