ISO 17712 Certification in Kolkata

Product Description

ISO the International Organization for Standardization is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies ISO member bodies. The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission IEC on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO IEC Directives, Part 2.The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 percent of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 17712 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO TC 104, Freight containers. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition ISO 17712 2010, which has been technically revised. Scope, This International Standard establishes uniform procedures for the classification,  acceptance, and withdrawal of mechanical freight container seals. It provides a single source of information on mechanical seals which are acceptable for securing freight containers in international commerce. The purpose of mechanical seals is, as part of a security system, to determine whether a freight container has been tampered with, i.e. whether there has been unauthorized entry into the container through its doors. Seals can be effective only if seal users properly select, store, account for, apply, document, and attend to seals prior to use and in use while these issues are not addressed in this International Standard, they are relevant to successful use of the seals covered by this International Standard. Seals that conform to this International Standard are suitable for other applications, such as bulk railcars or truck trailers used in cross border and domestic operations. Users and regulatory agencies can apply this International Standard to other applications as they deem appropriate. Normative references, The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document including any amendments applies. Terms and definitions, For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. General terms, seal, mechanical device marked with a unique identifier and usually designed for a single use, which is externally affixed to the container doors and designed to evidence tampering or intrusion through the doors of a container and to secure closed doors of a container. Note 1 to entry, Depending on its design and construction, the seal provides varying degrees of resistance to an intentional or unintentional attempt to open it or to enter the freight container through the container doors. Note 2 to entry, Seals need to be designed and constructed so that tamper attempts create and leave evidence of that tampering. Note 3 to entry, All grades and types of seals require inspection to indicate whether tampering has occurred or entry has been attempted. high security seal, seal that is constructed and manufactured of material such as metal or metal cable with the intent to delay intrusion.Note1 to entry, High security seals can generally be removed with substantial bolt cutters or cable cutters. security seal, seal that is constructed and manufactured of material that provides limited resistance to intrusion and requires lightweight tools for removal. indicative seal, seal that is constructed and manufactured of material that can easily be broken by hand or by using a simple snipping tool or shear. manufacturer, company or entity that either owns the seal producing factory or contracts to buy made to order seals for resale from a third party factory. bar code, automatic identification technology that encodes information into an array of parallel bars and spaces of varying widths. defeated seal, seal which has been opened or removed and replaced or reconstructed without detectable evidence of tampering. tampering, attempt to open or remove and then replace or reconstruct a seal without leaving detectable evidence of the attempt. tamper evidence, Tell tale indication that an attempt has been made to open or remove and then replace or reconstruct without detectable evidence of that attempt. Note 1 to entry, Examples of tamper evidence include a change in the colour of the material, in surface texture, cracks, indentations, or abrasions. Tamper evident indicators are recognizable by normal examination under the usual circumstances prevailing in practice without technical aids such as a magnifying glass or microscope. inductiveness, ability to reveal evidence after attempt shave been made to tamper with the seal. Terms describing different types of mechanical seals, wire seal, length of wire secured in a loop by some type of seizing device. Wire seals include crimp wire, fold wire, and cup wire seals. Note 1 to entry The seizing device can be plastic or metal and its deformation is one indication of tampering. padlock seal, locking body with a bail attached. Padlock seals include, wire shackle padlock metal or plastic body, plastic padlock, and keyless padlock seals. Note1 to entry The pad lock itself is not an integral part of the freight container. strap seal, metal or plastic strap secured in a loop by inserting one end into or through a protected covered locking mechanism on the other end, Note 1 to entry The seizing device can be plastic or metal and its deformation is one indication of tampering. cable seal, cable and a locking mechanism. On a one piece seal, the locking or seizing mechanism is permanently attached to one end of the cable. A two piece cable seal has a separate locking mechanism which slips onto the cable or prefabricated cable end. bolt seal, metal rod, threaded or unthreaded, flexible or rigid, with a formed head, secured with a separate locking mechanism. cinch seal, pull up seal, indicative seal consisting of a thin strip of material, serrated or non serrated, with a locking mechanism attached to one end. Note 1 to entry, The free end is pulled through a hole in the locking mechanism and drawn up to the necessary tightness. Cinch or pull up type seals can have multiple lock positions. These seals are generally made of synthetic materials such as nylon or plastic. They can resemble, but are significantly different from, simple electrical ties. twist seal, steel rod or heavy gauge wire of various diameters, which is inserted through the locking fixture and twisted around itself by use of a special tool. scored seal, metal strip which is scored perpendicular to the length of the strip, Note 1 to entry The strip is passed through the locking fixture and bent at the score mark. Removal of the seal requires bending at the score mark, which results in breakage of the seal. label seal, frangible seal consisting of a paper or plastic backing with adhesive, Note 1 to entry The combination of backing and adhesive is chosen to cause the seal to tear when removal is attempted. barrier seal, designed to provide a significant barrier to container entry, Note 1 to entry, A barrier seal can enclose a portion of the inner locking rods on a container. Note 2 to entry, Barrier seals can be designed to be reusable.
