B S AU 240 : Part 1 : 1991

National foreword

This British S tandard has been prepared under the direction of the Automobile
S tandards Policy Committee and is identical with IS 0 9367-1 : 1 988 ‘ Lashing and
securing arrangements on road vehicles for s ea transportation on Ro/Ro ships General requirements - Part 1 : Commercial vehicles and combinations of
vehicles, semi-trailers excluded’ published by the International Organization for
S tandardization (ISO) .
Cross-references

The Qchnical Committee has reviewed the provisions of IS 0 1 1 76 and IS 0 383 3 ,
to which reference is made in the text, and has decided that they are acceptable
for use in conj unction with this standard.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of its elf confer immunity from
legal obligations.
