Such containers are considered as ISO containers provided that their maximum gross mass, R, does not exceed 36 000 kg and that they are tested and marked to their actual rating, R (see 3.3).WARNING一Recognizing that there will always be a need for special containers for particular traffic, attention is drawn to the fact that numerous containers exist which have length and width dimensions similar to those of ISO series 1 containers but have ratings and/or heights in excess of those defined by this document. This can include containers having maximum gross masses in excess of the ratings in Table 2. They may not, therefore, be fully intermodal worldwide and their operation can require special arrangements.Gooseneck tunnels shall be provided as mandatory features in containers 1EEE, 1AAA, and may be provided as optional features in containers 1EE, 1AA, 1A and 1AX.
