Container placed on four supports located exactly on the four bottom corner castings. Now the so mentioned weight is applied to rack it transversely (i.e., the bottom will be fixed and only the top part will be shifted longitudinally bending the corner castings and vertical members) and check for its integrity. The value mentioned in the safety approval plate is that for the transverse test and not for the longitudinal. Hope i'm right!!!  Ref- CSC annex-2
