- Container seal consists of two distinct
components: “a locking chamber” and “a pin” which are joint by a plastic cord;
when locked, the seal creates one solid block in the shape of a club where the
locking chamber acts as the head of the club and the pin acts as the handle.
Exterior of the seal (both the pin and the locking chamber) is smooth, plain,
of plastic, rigid, and resistant to collision.
Total length (after locking the seal) is: 90mm ±
3mm
+) Locking chamber:
+ The core is of metal while the exterior is
covered in plastic, rigid, hexagonal, and resistant to collision.
+ Opening of locking chamber shall tightly fit to
the pin and be four-sided to prevent rotation.
+ Exterior of locking chamber is covered by two
plastic layers on top of one another: The inner layer is of plastic; The outer
layer is of plastic, green in color, rigid, and resistant to collision.
+ Locking mechanism (the inside of locking chamber)
consists of: 1 plastic receiver, 1 steel washer, 1 rigid steel locking ring.
Plastic receiver has 2 small notches.
+ Dimensions:
+ Length: 35mm ± 0,5mm

+ Side length of locking chamber opening: 9mm ±
0,36 mm
+ Flat surface for numbering:
. Length: 30,5mm ± 1mm
. Width: 18mm ± 0,7mm
+) Pin
+ Pin shall be cylindrical in shape and made of engineering
steel. Plastic that encapsulates the pin shall be green in color, rigid in
property, and of the same color as the plastic encapsulating the locking
chamber. The pin consists of:
++ Pin end: is of truncated cone shape; capable of
being inserted into the locking chamber; and not encapsulated in plastic. The
middle section of the pin end shall consist of a notch to allow the locking
ring to secure the pin and prevent the pin from being removed once inserted.
++Pin shaft: anti-rotation segment is encapsulated
in plastic, green in color, rigid, and cube-shaped.
++ Pin base: consists of two flat surfaces so that
when the pin is combined with the locking chamber, the seal is capable of
resting flat against the container.

. Height of pin base: 21mm ± 0,52mm
- Each container seal contains a twelve-digit
serial number as follows:
Locking chamber:

Letters and digits are black in color,
laser-engraved onto the seal, and be identical to letters and digits engraved
on the locking chamber.
The first two letters (HQ) indicate the type of products,
the next two digits (xx) indicate the last two digits of manufacturing year and
the last seven digits (yyyyyyy) indicate order of the seal. A forward slash is
used to separate product type code and manufacturing year whereas a dot is used
to separate manufacturing year and order of the seal.
- If a seal has been locked, it can only be
unlocked by a minimum tensile force of 10 kN (according to ISO 17712:2013 or
newer versions of ISO standards according to regulations of the government)
while the locking ring is still secured to the pin end.
