The containers, sizes and construction are governed by the ISO - International Standard Organization.


Even though the containers are manufactured by factories in many different parts of the world, owned by a variety of steamship lines and inspected and approved by various bodies, i.e. Lloyds, Germanischer Lloyd, BV etc. they still come out the same. This makes the container one of the very few manufactured items that can be used in all parts of the world without modifications.
