What is BS EN 15433-1 - Measurement of transportation loads about?
BS EN 15433 series focuses on measurement and evaluation of dynamic mechanical transportation loads. BS EN 15433-1 specifies the general requirements to be observed during the measurement and evaluation of dynamic-mechanical transportation loads, should the results raise a claim of generalization and be incorporated in this series of standards as fundamental data.
Transportation loads shall be measured on the transportation means, and independently of the items to be transported. To determine the transportation capability, more post-laboratory tests are performed in BS EN 15433-1, during which standardized transportation loads have to be simulated.
Users rely on the confidence capability of the data, the measurements require accurate planning and execution and shall be performed according to EN 15433-2 in order to generally describe the transportation loads for the purpose of introducing them into the standards.
Who is BS EN 15433-1 - Measurement of transportation loads for?
BS EN 15433-1 on measurement of transportation loads is useful for:
- Load Transporation authorities
- The transportation industry
- Goods packaging and distribution companies
- The cargo industry
- Transportation data management team
Why should you use BS EN 15433-1 - Measurement of transportation loads?
BS EN 15433-1 provides you with fundamental requirements for transportation loads measurement. Transportation loads depend on technical equipment (e.g., transportation means, handling equipment and conveyers), handling (e.g., topple, throw-down operation and stowing), and environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, humidity, sunlight and air pollution), and can evoke stress on or inside the transported item, which can lead to damage.
BS EN 15433-1 covers concept to acquire and describe the loads acting on goods and influencing them during transport, handling and storage.
BS EN 15433-1 guidelines enable the measurement and evaluation of dynamic mechanical transportation loads, thus enabling the achievement of standardized and adequately documented load values.
