New ISO containers have valid CSC for 5 years from the date of production. After this period there are 2 schemes to maintain CSC validity and to ensure containers are in safe and usable condition.
PES – Periodic Examination Scheme
Containers can be updated for a maximum of 30 months after inspection provided that the container’s condition meets with the requirements for continued safe use. The CSC plate is typically updated with a sticker showing the next latest re-inspection date (Month/Year).
ACEP – Automatic Continuous Examination ProgramAs the name suggests this infers that containers are inspected on an on-going basis. As ACEP belongs to the owner, containers which are sold (by the original owner) are supposed to be either updated with the ACEP approval number of the new owner or by PES sticker as above.
