The International Convention for Safe Containers, 1972 (CSC 1972) aims to:

• maintain a high level of safety of human life in the transport and handling of containers by providing acceptable test procedures and related strength requirements
• provide uniform international safety regulations, equally applicable to all modes of surface transport, thereby avoiding the proliferation of divergent national regulations
