TS ISO 830/Cor 1

TS ISO 830/Cor 1 is a corrigendum to TS ISO 830, the terminology standard for freight containers. Standards of this kind help prevent the same container-related concept from being described in different ways across logistics, transport, and technical documentation, supporting clearer professional communication.

What a terminology standard does

The subject of this document is the naming and definition of freight-container terms. In practice, terminology standards bring consistency to words used in design, handling, storage, and transport, so that operators, engineers, and document preparers refer to the same concept in the same way. The distinction between a container, its parts, and its components matters because these terms are not interchangeable in technical use.

Boundary indicated in the scope note

According to the supplied scope note, the different parts and components used in the construction of freight containers are specified in ISO 9897-1. This means TS ISO 830/Cor 1 is primarily concerned with definitions and terminology organization, rather than with specifying product properties or construction requirements. As a corrigendum, it serves to correct or clarify the parent standard’s terminology content.

• Provides a common vocabulary for freight-container work.
• Helps reduce ambiguity in logistics and intermodal transport.
• Directs users to ISO 9897-1 for parts and components terminology.
• Functions as a corrigendum to the parent terminology standard.
