Do you know the quality standard of Structural Container Floor Panels on 2024?

According to the quality standard IICL TB 001 - January 02, 2019 issued by the International Container Leasing Association (IICL), structural container floor panels in 2024 should meet the following main requirements:

Firstly, in terms of strength, the floor panels must comply with the regulations and be able to withstand various loads encountered during the transportation of containers. This means that the floor panels must possess sufficient compressive and bending strength to ensure structural stability and safety.

Secondly, durability is also an important consideration. The floor panels must be able to resist corrosion, wear, and external environmental impacts to maintain their performance during long-term use. This requires the floor panel materials to have good corrosion resistance, waterproofness, and wear resistance.

Moreover, safety is an indispensable part of the IICL quality standard. The floor panels must meet slip resistance requirements to ensure the safety of personnel within the container. At the same time, the edges and connections of the floor panels should be designed appropriately to prevent personnel from getting injured during use.

Finally, environmental performance is also a significant aspect of the IICL quality standard. The production and use of floor panels should minimize their impact on the environment, with a preference for environmentally friendly materials and production processes.

In summary, according to the IICL TB 001 - January 02, 2019 quality standard, structural container floor panels in 2024 must meet various requirements in terms of strength, durability, safety, and environmental performance. These standards ensure the quality and performance of the floor panels, meeting the needs of the container transportation industry and safeguarding the safety of personnel and the environment.

1.9 Identification Product Identification and Traceability Each panel manufactured must be branded or stamped, or otherwise permanently identified to allow tracing in case of quality defects or product (and/or test) failures. Identification must follow the recommended practices outlined in Section 3.5. At a minimum, each floor panel should be identified with: A. Panel manufacturer’s brand and specific factory B. Date of manufacture of the panel C. Number glue spreader D. Number of hot press E. Production line F. Strength rating (see table 1.9 below) Permanent identification must be placed on the longitudinal edges along the thickness of each panel, per latest IICL requirements for markings that will be legible for the service life of the panels.
