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. Each 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, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 8611-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 51, Pallets for unit load method of materials
handling.
This first edition, together with ISO 8611-2 and ISO 8611-3, cancels and replaces ISO 8611:1991.
ISO 8611 consists of the following parts, under the general title Pallets for materials handling — Flat pallets:
Part 1: Test methods
Part 2: Performance requirements and selection of tests (Technical Specification)
Part 3: Maximum working load (Technical Specification)

Introduction
The 1991 edition of ISO 8611 described a system of sequential testing that relied upon a pallet passing every
test in a series. This meant that one pallet could be near to failure in one particular test where another pallet
might be substantially over-designed. Using the (earlier) deflection criteria, both pallets were presented as
equals in terms of safety factor. The notched stringer pallet was a good example of this where it was typically
very stiff, but frequently near fracture point in the (old) bending test. The new, three-part version of ISO 8611
redresses this in failing every specimen in order to establish a definite safety factor. Stiffness is dealt with as a
separate series of measurements conducted during testing.
Conducting the tests requires experience in testing (including the load) and also some expertise of the
materials under test. This part of ISO 8611, in conjunction with ISO/TS 8611-2 and ISO/TS 8611-3, has been
expressly designed to cover all pallet materials either when used alone or used as composites. A further
change over ISO 8611:1991 is that all pallets for materials handling are now covered and not just high quality
through-transit, exchange or pool pallets.
