IRPs are voluntary practices designed to assist equipment users and providers, vehicle/component manufacturers and other industry suppliers with recommended guidance on the safe and efficient operations, performance, and/or maintenance of intermodal equipment.

IRPs are not intended as, and should not be construed as, an endorsement of any particular person, organization, or product.
