The two possible procedures for getting your reefer containers ATO-certified
PROCEDURE A (most common for new containers):
Arrange that an approved classification society (e.g. ABS or Bureau
Veritas) witnesses the ATO-tests on your new-built containers at the
container manufacturing site. The classification society will submit the test results
to our website. We check whether the received information meets the ATO-standards
and, depending on the outcome, issue the ATO-certificates to:
- Commissioning company (Box Manufacturer or Owner)
- Anthos," the Royal Trade Association for Nurserystock and Flowerbulbs in The Netherlands
- The classification society that witnessed the test
PROCEDURE B (most common for containers which are in service already):
Request us to perform the ATO-tests on your containers. We usually perform the ATO-tests
in Rotterdam or Antwerp. If the test result meet the ATO-standards we issue the
ATO-certificates to:
- Commissioning company (Box Manufacturer or Owner)
- Anthos, the Royal Trade Association for Nurserystock and Flowerbulbs in The Netherlands
