What you have to do
If you are a Container Centralen customer and have a contract that includes CC Containers, you need to make sure that all your CC Containers are RFID* tagged by November 1, 2010.
How to get your CC Containers RFID tagged
If you have CC Container contracts with Container Centralen, you will be contacted in due time before November 1, 2010, about how the tagging will affect you and what your role will be. Container Centralen will send you a specific number of RFID* tags according to the amount of CC Containers under contract. More information will also be provided on a dedicated website later.
Please note that if you sublet your containers from a supplier different from Container Centralen A/S then you will need to contact them for further information, as you will then not receive instructions directly from Container Centralen A/S.
After November 1, 2010, exchanging broken material at CC depots, or handing in containers at depots and many other places will only be possible where a genuine CC RFID tag is mounted on the CC Container base.
Gates and Handheld Readers (“scanners”)
Container Centralen highly recommends that you, as a minimum, acquire a handheld reader (“scanner”). Being able to “read” the RFID tags is your guarantee against receiving copy CC Containers. Accepting a container that does not have a valid tag is at your own risk. Containers with falsified identification tags are not legal and will therefore not be accepted in the CC Pool System: if you try to hand them in at, for instance, a CC depot, they will be refused – even if you do so unknowingly.
If you operate at an auction, depot, a distribution centre or a large retail outlet with large quantities of CC Containers passing through every day, a gate with built-in RFID readers (“scanners”) can be an efficient solution.
It might also be useful for you to make an agreement with your transport company to take care of reading/scanning the RFID tagged containers to make sure that you won’t encounter any problems with receiving “counterfeit containers”.
