The International Convention for Safe Containers (CSC)

The International Convention for Safe Containers (CSC) is an international agreement that sets standards for the safety and stability of shipping containers used in global trade. It requires containers to be properly designed, manufactured, maintained, and regularly inspected to prevent accidents during transport. The CSC provides guidelines for container markings, certification, and periodic inspections to ensure they meet safety regulations. By doing so, it helps protect workers, cargo, and the environment, facilitating safe and efficient movement of goods across different countries and transportation modes.
