ISO 6346
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ISO 6346 is an international standard for assigning unique codes to freight containers, commonly known as BIC codes.
The structure of an ISO 6346 code is:
- owner code, consisting of three capital letters
- product group code, consisting of one of capital letters U, J or Z
- 6 numeric digits, assigned by the owner or operator, uniquely identifying the container within that owner/operator's fleet.
- a seventh check digit
The product group code consists of one of the following three capital letters: U - for all freight containers J - for detachable freight container-related equipment Z - for trailers and chassis
The registration authority for ISO 6346 is the Bureau Internationale des Containers et du Transport Intermodal.
