UNECE

SHEET

Rather extensive damage: this trailer should NOT be allowed to continue, unless it is

repaired


8

UNECE

SHEET

Minor damage: dependent on the commodity being

transported, this trailer COULD be allowed to complete the current journey - but should

NOT be able to carry out further international transport

without being repaired

UNECE

SHEET

Company logo covers a repair made incorrectly - sheet repaired by using an adhesive tape on the inner side of the

sheet (see also pages 160-161 of the TIR Handbook)

DOORS, OTHER CLOSING SYSTEMS AND CUSTOMS SEALING DEVICES

• Doors and all other closing systems shall be fitted with a device on which Customs seals can be fixed

• This device cannot be removed and replaced from the outside without leaving obvious traces, or the door or fastening be opened without breaking the Customs seals

• The sealing device must be secured by welding, or by not less than two special joining devices

• The sealing device must incorporate holes of not less than 11 mm in diameter or slots of at least 11 mm in length by 3 mm in width, and afford equal security whatever type of seal is used


32

UNECE

SECURE CUSTOMS SEALING

• TIR wire is not longer than necessary and is properly tightened

• Customs seals are affixed as tight as possible

• In a combination “sheeted vehicle - rear doors” both the TIR wire and door closing system should be secured. If the TIR wire does not pass through the pivoting device/ manoeuvre handle, extra seals are required

• Due to wear and tear of sealing device details, the security of Customs sealing can go down
