The tolerance of the volumes shall be土10 % maximum measured according to EN 840-5. Table 2 includes examples of the most frequent assignments of classes and volumes of the containers.The design of the containers need not correspond to the drawings given in Figure 1. The functional dimensions given in Tables 3 and 4 shall be respected. For compatibility in lifting devices, the container shall correspond to its dimensions within the selected class type (Table 3, Table 4).The container shall be constructed so that when it is unloaded or loaded with a nominal load (see Clause6), it fits on an approved compatible lifting device. It shall be automatically locked safely into the lifting device during the lifting operation.
