OOCL will uphold and insist on ISO2 stardards for container seals
THE current International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) mechanical seal standard (ISO 17712:2010) has been changed to ISO 17712:2013, shippers were reminded by Hong Kong's Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL).
The shipping line announced in a notice to trade that it will fully cooperate with the authorities concerned to ensure compliance with this ISO standard to meet the seal requirement.
"Customers who will be responsible for supplying and affixing high security seals on their containers are also reminded to ensure full compliance to the ISO requirements," the statement said.
