0. INTRODUCTION
This specification provides the definition of the Equipment
damage and repair estimate message (DESTIM) to be used in
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners
involved in administration, commerce and transport.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Functional Definition
A message for use by the container repair, shipping and leasing
industry. It may be used by a container equipment repair depot
to send an owner or user a description of damages to the
equipment, as an estimate of the repair actions and costs
needed to rectify such damages. A recipient owner may forward
the estimate to a lessee. The message may also be used by an
owner or lessee as an authorization message to the repair depot
to perform the repairs indicated in the estimate, and as an
acknowledgment of his willingness to pay for those repairs
indicated in the estimate for his account.
1.2 Field of Application
The Equipment damage and repair estimate message may be used
for both national and international applications. It is based
on universal practice related to administration, commerce and
transport, and is not dependent on the type of business or
industry.
1.3 Principles
It is envisaged that the Equipment Damage and Repair Estimate
Message may be used as follows:
1. By an equipment depot to the owner or lessee of damaged
equipment after the equipment has been returned by a lessee, in
order to indicate needed repairs and to request authorization
to perform repair work.
2. By an equipment owner to a lessee to provide repair cost
estimates, and to request the lessee's acknowledgment of
willingness to pay costs allocated to lessee's account.
3. By an equipment owner or lessee to a repair depot to give
authorization to have the damaged equipment repaired.
