PART 115_CARGO CONTAINER AND ROAD VEHICLE CERTIFICATION PURSUANT TO 

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMS CONVENTIONS--Table of Contents

 

    Subpart D_Procedures for Approval of Containers After Manufacture

 

Sec.  115.42  Approval plates.



    (a) The owner or operator applicant shall, upon receipt of a 

certificate of approval from the Certifying Authority, affix an approval 

plate in the manner specified for containers approved by design type 

(see Sec.  115.32).

    (b) Although an entry is not required in the space provided for type 

identifiers on an approval plate for containers approved after 

manufacture, identification number and letters indicating that a series 

of containers comply with the same specifications may be placed in such 

space. This may be used to assist in the identification of a series of 

containers in which a common defect may be discovered subsequent to 

certification. In such case the approval number on the plate shall be 

altered by an addition to the second or third element of such number. 

The specific method of altering the approval number may be established 

by each Certifying Authority, for containers approved by it, and 

communicated to the U.S. Customs Service.

    (c) Two possible methods of accomplishing this are:

    (1) Placing an ``X'' in front of the numeric portion of the middle 

element of the approval number, e.g., USA/X123-IB/85.

    (2) Placing a suffix at the end of the approval number, e.g, USA/

123-AB/85-01.
