What is BS EN 24178 – Information to be recorded for packages distribution hazards about?
BS EN 24178 is identical to ISO 4178. The relationship between the hazards encountered by complete, filled transport packages in a distribution system and the resulting damage that may be sustained by the packages and/or their contents is important in the development of new test methods, in refining existing test methods, and in the preparation of appropriate test schedules.
The purpose of BS EN 24178 is to aid such comparisons by specifying the information to be recorded. Its contents are likely to be of interest to all concerned with distribution trials involving complete, filled transport packages.
BS EN 24178 specifies the information to be recorded when carrying out distribution trials involving complete, filled transport packages. BS EN 24178 is applicable to distribution systems in which the hazards of stacking, vertical impact, horizontal impact, and vibration are encountered or are likely to be encountered.
Who is BS EN 24178 - Information to be recorded for packages distribution hazards for?
BS EN 24178 on packages distribution hazards information to be recorded is useful for:
- The logistics and transportation industry
- Goods packaging products manufacturers
- Goods packaging and distribution industries
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS EN 24178 - Information to be recorded for packages distribution hazards?
Climatic conditions at each operation or hazard in the trial are recorded. Information shall be recorded for each type of hazards such as stacking, vertical impact, horizontal impact, and vibration. Where necessary, operations involving the same hazard shall be recorded separately.
BS EN 24178 helps to record the information such as the purpose of the package distribution trial, a brief description of the packages used, the starting point and destination of the packages if a journey was involved, a description of the operations carried out on the packages, and the order in which they were carried out, and the modes of transport, if any, involved at each stage of the trial.
BS EN 24178 enables proper comparisons to be made of data obtained at different times and under various circumstances when carrying out distribution trials involving complete, filled transport packages, adequate information is recorded and if such information is recorded on a uniform basis.
