✔✔Checklist Documentation - Middle Portion - ✔✔The middle portion requires the
inspector to add the defects recorded in the Remarks section to the applicable
component/category block. Bring each numbered defect recorded in the Remarks
section to the middle section. Add each minor defect to the applicable component's
Minor block and each major defect to the applicable component's CSC block.
✔✔DA Form 2404 - Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Worksheet - ✔✔DA Form
2404 (or other service-approved inspection report) must be used to document each
container reinspection. It serves as a permanent record of the inspection and is often
used to estimate the cost of repairs or to determine if a damaged container is
salvageable.
DA Form 2404 is filled out after the inspection checklist because the information on it is
transcribed directly from the completed inspection checklist.
✔✔DA Form 2404 Documentation - Lower Portion - ✔✔The lower portion of DA Form
2404 is used to record all defects found during the inspection and document container
condition and serviceability. Defect entries are transcribed directly from the container
inspection checklist.
Documentation must include:
Type of inspection (CSC for containers)
Repairs required to restore serviceability
Date the new DD 2282 decal is applied
, Defects found during inspection
IMDG or Non-IMDG certification (if applicable)
Inspection Pass (if applicable)
✔✔DD Form 2282 - IMDG - ✔✔The DD Form 2282 decal displays the month and year
the next inspection is due. It also displays whether the container is certified to transport
Hazard Class 1 material or not. If the container meets the criteria to carry all types of
cargo INCLUDING Hazard Class 1, apply the decal with the IMDG portion intact and the
reinspection month punched out.
✔✔DD Form 2282 - Non-IMDG (General Cargo) - ✔✔The DD Form 2282 decal displays
the month and year the next inspection is due. It also displays whether the container is
certified to transport Hazard Class 1 material or not. If the container meets the criteria to
carry all types of cargo EXCEPT Hazard Class 1, cut off the "IMDG" portion at the top of
the decal and apply it with the reinspection month punched out.
✔✔DD Form 2282 - Container Repairs - ✔✔A container with a major defect cannot be
used until the defect has been repaired and the container passes reinspection. If
container repairs total over $300, a new DD Form 2282 decal is required.
A new DD Form 2282 decal is required when:
A container is reinspected
The existing 2282 has expired or is due to expire within 60 days
Repairs totaling $300 or more are completed
The new decal will indicate a CSC reinspection due date (month and year)
at 30 months from the month of its last inspection.
✔✔Container Inspection Process - ✔✔The container inspection process can be broken
down into four steps:
1.Gather resources - access the required forms and references, and then assemble the
necessary inspection tools
and equipment.
2.Document defects - use the applicable container checklist to conduct a thorough
inspection and document
container defects.
3.Evaluate defects - use the defect criteria in MIL-STD-3037 to evaluate and classify
container defects.
