Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity assessment,
as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the
Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 104, Freight containers, Subcommittee SC 4,
Identification and communication.
This first edition of ISO 9897-6, together with ISO 9897-1, ISO 9897-2 and ISO 9897-5, cancels and
replaces ISO 9897:1997, which has been technically revised with the following change:
— It has been split into parts to simplify and relate the technical content of each part to each type of
container and also to harmonize the parts of ISO 9897 with the order of container types as contained
in the parts of ISO 1496.
It also incorporates the Technical Corrigendum ISO 9897:1997/Cor 1:2001.
ISO 9897 consists of the following parts, under the general title Freight containers — Container
equipment data exchange (CEDEX):
— Part 1: General communication codes for general purpose containers
— Part 2: Refrigerated containers
— Part 5: General communication codes for container chassis
— Part 6: Message sets for data transfer between local computer and host computer

Freight containers — Container equipment data exchange
(CEDEX) —
Part 5:
General communication codes for container chassis
1 Scope
This part of ISO 9897 specifies general communication codes for container chassis and equipment data
exchange (CEDEX).
It is intended for business entities for use in communications relating to freight container transactions.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 3166:1993, Codes for the representation of names of countries

ISO 9897-6:2010, Freight containers — Container equipment data exchange (CEDEX) — Message sets for
data transfer between trading partners and systems
UN/C-FACT Draft Directory and Standard Directory
3 Principle
In ISO 9897, codes are assigned to pieces of information called “data elements,” which are commonly
used in transactions relating to freight containers. These data elements are named and defined, and
each element is assigned a CEDEX alphabetical or alphanumeric code. Separate code lists for each type of
information (damage, component, repair, location, etc.) are maintained. A code may be reused in several
different code lists, but a code is never used for more than one data element within a single code list.
The data element may refer to the material of a container. For example, CEDEX code “ST” in material
type code list (Annex E) stands for “Steel, carbon.” A code may define the component of the container
that is damaged, its location, or its operating defect, depending on which data element is being defined.
A selection is made from the appropriate code list to indicate the component, location, or defect. Other
coded data elements indicate essential physical characteristics of the container and information
pertinent to the use and management of the container, such as names and addresses of owners.
It can be seen from these examples that the text of a message can be substantially reduced in length
by using the CEDEX codes instead of plain language. Use of the CEDEX codes results in messages much
reduced in length, transmission time, and communication cost, yet conveying information as complete
as a much longer plain-language message.
Through proper programming of a computer, a CEDEX-encoded message can be printed out in plain
language for the benefit of the communicators, if so desired, or it can be left in its encoded form. The
personnel using the code routinely will develop the skill of being able to read messages in coded form;
in fact, experience using the code has borne out this assertion. Also, many operators will not require
ISO 9897-5:2016(E)
use of all CEDEX codes assigned in ISO 9897, but only a portion of them due to the limited variety of
containers and container chassis in their domain.
Specific information about the manufacturer, type, and model of a container or container chassis and its
equipment is contained in the message (see 4.2.2).
4 Data elements and codes
4.1 Data elements
Data elements and corresponding code sets required to describe equipment components, their
condition, repair methods, etc are included in the appropriate Annex shown in Table 1.
4.2 Data assignments
4.2.1 CEDEX codes
All code assignments of CEDEX shall be taken as obligatory. That is, an operator shall not pick and
choose alternative codes unilaterally, nor depart from the established protocol, nor introduce new
codes without having registered the codes in accordance with 4.3.
However, two trading partners may agree mutually to use alternative codes if necessary codes are not
included in this part of ISO 9897. It is strongly recommended that such code be registered in accordance
with 4.3 as soon as possible after introduction.
4.2.2 Message sets
Message sets as per ISO 9897-6 are alternative interface messages used for electronic data interchange
transmission. An owner or operator can pick and choose amongst other standards and the standard
serves as a list of required and optional data elements.
The specific information about the manufacturer, type, and model of a container or container chassis
and its equipment is contained in the message sets.
ISO 9897-6:—, Annex A of describes the manner by which a directory of users is developed. The
directory is maintained by the Bureau International des Containers et du Transport Intermodal (BIC)
listed as BIC-LOCODES at www.bic-code.org.

Additional data elements will be added to Table 1 at the request of international organizations, ISO/TC
104 member bodies, and approval of TC 104/SC 4. The actual process of registration will be performed
by the TC 104/SC 4 Secretariat in consultation with the experts of TC 104/SC 4.
Each additional data element will be allocated an alphabetic or alphanumeric code, not currently used
within the same code list covering a type of data.
