INTERMODAL DRY CARGO CNTR CORRECT TEST
PAPER QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SET A+
✔✔Container Defect - "Racked" container - ✔✔A racked container refers to a container
that's been twisted or damaged in a way that causes the wall-to-corner alignment to be
skewed. A racked container may not be visible to the naked eye, but may be detected
by measuring the container sides diagonally and comparing the measurements.
✔✔Container Defect - Weld cracks or separation - ✔✔A cracked, broken, or separated
weld between components can seriously compromise a container's structural integrity.
The inspector should closely scrutinize component junctions, corners, and edges,
especially near the container's end frames and understructure. Suspect areas should be
cleaned with a wire brush and tested with a welder's hammer.
✔✔IMDG - ✔✔To transport ammunition and explosives, a container must meet all
General Cargo (Non-IMDG) inspection criteria and more stringent IMDG inspection
criteria.
"UN Hazard Class 1 (IMDG) Container" certification states that the container meets
additional inspection criteria and that it's suitable to carry any type of cargo, including
ammunition and explosives. Once a container meets these standards, it's considered an
"IMDG" container and the "IMDG" portion of the DD Form 2282 decal remains intact.
✔✔General Cargo (Non-IMDG) - ✔✔To transport general cargo (other than Class V -
ammunition and explosives), a container must meet General Cargo (Non-IMDG)
inspection criteria. Once it does, it is considered a "Non-IMDG" container and the IMDG
portion of the DD Form 2282 is cut off.
, If a container does not meet all General Cargo (Non-IMDG inspection standards, it
cannot be used and is considered unserviceable until it's repaired.
✔✔Defect Criteria - Major Non-IMDG defects - ✔✔A major Non-IMDG defect renders a
container unserviceable for use, though it may be transported empty as cargo. If the
container is a shelter, it is unsuitable for transport but may still be used in its current
location.
Examples:
##A cracked, missing, or broken weld at the juncture between primary structural
components
##A loose or missing fastener at the juncture between primary structural components
##A deformation such as a dent, bend, or bow in any primary structural component
exceeding standards or any part of the container extending beyond the surface of a
corner fitting.
✔✔Defect Criteria - Major IMDG defects - ✔✔A major IMDG defect renders a container
unserviceable for ammunition and explosives transport, but it may still be used to
transport general cargo.
Examples:
##A dent or bend in any primary structural component that is greater than 3/4 inch in
depth, regardless of length
##A splice in any corner post or door sill
##More than one splice in a door header or end rail
##More than two splices in any top or bottom rail
✔✔Defect Criteria - MIL-STD-3037 - ✔✔MIL-STD-3037 is the essential container
inspection reference. It contains all the information an inspector needs to determine the
acceptability of container defects.
To aid the inspector, it is organized by type of container and individual container
components. Each section is divided into IMDG and Non-IMDG defect criteria.
✔✔Defect Criteria - Minor Defects - ✔✔A minor defect is one that does not exceed the
standards listed in MIL-STD-3037. Minor defects are documented and/or repaired at the
