ISO shipping containers are international standardized intermodal containers that are manufactured based on standards set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Accordingly, manufacturers of shipping containers should adhere to the ISO quality control requirements. The ISO requirements ensure that manufactured containers can withstand harsh environments during shipment. Additionally, they should have sturdy structures for secure moving with cranes or other powerful machinery. All the existing container types and designs were licensed in 1956 and are commonly utilized for intermodal transportation by truck, rail, and ship.
