Iso Damage Location Code System 1.2
Iso Damage Location Code System 1.2
2019
Damages will be located by container panel(s). For purpose of locating damages, the main container
assemblies are divided nominally into 4ft x 4ft (120 cm x 120 cm) segments. For locating purposes,
the panel joints will serve as location lines, the intersecting line dividing the midpoint of the panels is
imaginary.
The location code consists of four characters depending upon the area containing the entire
vertical and horizontal length of the damage.
2.1 The first character is selected to identify the appropriate face of the container as follows:
• R right side
• L left side
• T roof or top
• B bottom (floor)
• F front end
• D door end
• U under structure
• X whole container
• I container interior
• E container exterior
2.2 The second character is selected to identify the appropriate part of the container face where
the damage is contained. To do this the vertical faces of the container are divided into the top
and bottom halves and upper and lower main components; the horizontal faces of the container
(roof or top and floor or bottom and under structure) are divided into right and left halves
when viewed from the door end. The relevant codes are:
• T top half
• B bottom (lower) component
• L left halt
• R right half
• X both halves (i.e. top/bottom, left/right, centre)
2.3 The third and fourth characters are selected to identify the section of the container in
which the damage is contained.
a) On all containers the front and door ends are divided into vertical section numbered, when
viewed from the door end from left to right.
b) On all containers the right and left sides, the roof, the floor and the under structure are
divided into equal sections as follows:
c) When the damage covers one section only, the third character indicates the appropriate
section number and the fourth character shall be filled in with ‘N’.
d) When the damage covers several adjacent sections the first and last section shall be em-
ployed.
a) In addition to the above described location code some components are more precisely iden-
tified in numerical order.
b) The particular components of the door and front end such as the door locking bars or front
(side) posts are numbered consecutively from left to right when viewed from the door end.
c) The particular components contained in all other faces such as the roof bows, side posts,
crossmembers are numbered consecutively from the door end.
d) When the damage covers several faces of the inside of the container such as steam cleaning
refurbishment or sealing of the panels the code IXXX shall be used.
First figure in the 4-digit code STS system is used for identification of the unit type.
One of the below figures must substitute the “X” in the repair codes.
