        (i)    that the dates (month and year) of the first examination and
               subsequent examinations of the container are marked on or as
               close as practicable to the safety approval plate of the

        (ii)   as an alternative to subparagraph (i), that a decal, which
               meets the requirements set out in the Schedule, is fixed on or

(2) Where a bailment or lease of a container does not contain an express term
that the bailee or lessee, as the case may be, shall ensure that the container
is examined, the owner of the container shall provide the latest report issued
in respect of the container or a copy of such a report to the bailee or lessee
as soon as practicable after each examination.
