In fact, in 2012 Michel Hennemand, president of the International Container Bureau (BIC), and chair of ISO Technical committee 104, subcommittee SC 1: General purpose containers regression, asked whether the time has come to develop a new series of standards on containers regression (Series 2), to accommodate new sizes like American 53-foot and European Pallet-wide containers regression. A new series which, given the significant investments required by the industry, would replace the current series of standards (series 1) in the next 20 or 25 years.[57] Jump up ^ Forty-five-foot containers regression were not standardized by the ISO until the 2005 Amendment No. 2 to the ISO 668:1995 standard.[36] References[edit] Jump up ^ Lewandowski, Krzysztof (2017 2018).
