The document provides inspection criteria for Evergreen container equipment. It outlines criteria for inspecting different components like rails, posts, panels, doors, roofs and floors. Any components that are holed, cracked, broken or deformed beyond specified tolerances require repair. The criteria aim to ensure containers meet structural requirements and standards.
