Overview

EN 22206:1992 (identical to ISO 2206:1987) specifies a consistent system for identification of parts of complete, filled transport packages when testing. The standard covers parallelepipedal (box-like) and cylindrical packages, sacks and bags, and miscellaneous shapes. It defines how to orient a package for testing and how to number surfaces, edges and corners, enabling reproducible test conditions, clear test reports and consistent damage/location reporting.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope: Applies to complete, filled transport packages - parallelepipedal, cylindrical, sacks/bags and miscellaneous shapes. Three figures illustrate the numbering schemes.
• Orientation rule: Place the package in the position intended for transport. If transport position is unknown, place the manufacturer’s joint vertically on the observer’s right.
• Parallelepipedal packages:
  • Surfaces numbered 1 (top), 2 (right), 3 (bottom), 4 (left), 5 (nearest), 6 (farthest).
  • Edges identified by the two surface digits (e.g., 1-2).
  • Corners identified by the three surface digits (e.g., 1-2-5).
• Cylindrical packages:
  • Upper-surface diameter endpoints designated 1-3-5-7; corresponding lower/parallel points 2-4-6-8.
  • Lines along the axis designated 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8. If a manufacturer’s joint exists, it should occupy 5-6.
• Sacks and bags:
  • Place with sealed end toward the observer, side seam(s) on the right (or longitudinal seam down).
  • Surfaces numbered 1 (uppermost), 2 (right), 3 (lowermost), 4 (left), 5 (sealed/bottom end toward observer), 6 (filling/top end away from observer).
• Miscellaneous packages: Use a numbering method derived from one of the above schemes appropriate to the package shape.

Applications and who uses it

• Packaging engineers and designers use the standard to define test orientations and report damage locations consistently.
• Test laboratories (drop, compression, vibration) apply the numbering system to document test inputs and failure points.
• Manufacturers and shippers use the system to standardize inspection, quality control and incident reports.
• Standards bodies and auditors reference the scheme for conformity, certification and inter-laboratory comparisons.

Related standards

• ISO 2206:1987 - Packaging - Complete, filled transport packages - Identification of parts when testing (the original international reference).
• EN 22206:1992 - CEN adoption equivalent to ISO 2206:1987.

This standardized identification method improves test reproducibility, clarity in reporting and communication across supply chain stakeholders involved in transport packaging testing and evaluation.

Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national Standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Esch member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, govern- mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by the ISO Council. They are approved in accordance with ISO procedures requiring at least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting. International Standard ISO 2206 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 122, Packaging. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 2206 : 1972), sub-clause 2.3 of which has been technically revised. Users should note that all International Standards undergo revision from time to time and that any reference made herein to any other International Standard implies its latest edition, unless otherwise stated. 0 International Organkation for Standardkation, 1987 Printed in Switzerland SIST EN 22206:1996
