This International Standard specifies a method to carry out a vertical random vibration test on a
complete, filled transport package(s) and unit loads using random excitation1). This document also
provides methods for assessing the performance of a package in terms of its strength or the protection
that it offers to its contents when it is subjected to vertical vibration. The test discussed in this document
can be performed either as a single test to investigate the effects of vertical vibra...view more

ISO 18616-2:2016 specifies the test methods for handling and managing reusable, rigid plastic distribution boxes. These boxes are based on the modular area 600 mm × 400 mm, 600 mm × 500 mm, 550 mm × 366 mm and subdivisions of them. ISO 18616-2:2016 is designed for general purpose applications in a returnable transport system. For automotive industry application, ISO 19709‑1, ISO/TS 19709-2 and ISO/TS 19709-3 can be referenced.

ISO 18616-1:2016 specifies the four main types of reusable, rigid plastic distribution boxes for general purpose application in the fields of handling, transport, storage and display of products in distribution systems from the point of manufacture to the point of retail services: a) rigid parallelepipedic and rectangular boxes (stackable boxes); b) foldable boxes; c) nestable boxes; d) nestable and stackable boxes. These boxes are based on the modular area 600 mm × 400 mm, 600 mm × 500 mm, 550 ...view more

This European Standard specifies methods of deriving schedules for testing completed, filled transport packages and unit loads, representative of current distribution chains within Europe.

This European Standard specifies methods of deriving schedules for testing completed, filled transport packages and unit loads, representative of current distribution chains within Europe.

This Technical Report gives methods of assessing the performance of a reuse system related to the proportion of reused packaging in use. This may be measured by:
-   the average number of rotations during a calculation period and the lifetime; or
-   the reuse ratio.
The choice of method will vary according to the type of reuse system and information available.

This European Standard specifies methods for carrying out a rotational impact test on complete, filled transport packages or unit loads, by dropping.  It can be performed either as a single test to investigate the effects of rotational impact or as part of a sequence of tests designed to measure the ability of a package or unit load to withstand a distribution system that includes a rotational impact hazard.

This standard specifies a method for testing the resistance of a complete filled transport packages or a unit load to water spray or the projection it gives to its contents from water spray.

This standard specifies 2 methods for carrying out sinusoidal vibration test on a complete filled transport package or unit load using a variable frequency.

This standard specifies a method for subjecting complete filled transport packaging and unit loads to conditions of low air pressure, similar to that encountered in aircraft.

This specifies methods to carry out vibration tests on complete filled transport packages or unit load using sinusoidal excitation at fixed frequency.

This standard specifies 3 methods for carrying out a stacking test on a complete filled transport package or on a unit load using a static load.

This standard specifies methods of horizontal impact testing (horizontal and inclined plane test and pendulum test) as a complete, filled transport package or a unit load.

This International Standard specifies a method for testing the resistance of a complete, filled transport package or a
unit load to water spray or the protection it gives to its contents from water spray. It may also be used to
precondition a complete, filled transport package or a unit load prior to another test to investigate reduction in
strength caused by exposure to water.
The test is performed on the test specimen as prepared for transport and may form part of a test sequence.
