##### Container/Equipment Type Codes

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  *This appendix provides a cross-reference of all data elements,\
  record identifiers and chapters.*

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------

#### 

A code consisting of four separate characters used to identify a type of
container or equipment. There are two categories of Container/Equipment
Type Codes: \"old\" codes, referencing containers and equipment built
before January 1, 1996, and \"new\" codes, for containers and equipment
built since January 1, 1996.

\"Old\" codes are all numeric. One example of an \"old\"
Container/Equipment Type code is 4204. 42 = 12,000 mm or 40 feet in
nominal length X 2,581 mm or 8 feet 6 inches in nominal height without a
tunnel for goose neck. 04 = a general-purpose container with openings at
both ends plus opening roof plus openings at one or both sides.

The codes are broken down in the following tables. The first two
characters of the code identify length and height.

####  

\"New\" codes are all alphanumeric. One example of a \"new\"
container/equipment type code is 4EV0. 4 = 12,192 mm or 40 feet in
length; E = 2,895m (9\'6") x \>2,438 mm but \<2,500 mm in width, and V0
= a non‑mechanical system with vents at lower and upper parts of cargo
space.

The codes are broken out in the following tables. The first character of
the code identifies the length.
