Overview

EN 13199-3:2000 - Packaging - Small Load Carrier Systems - Part 3: Bond Stackable System (BSS) is a CEN standard that defines the main characteristics and testing requirements for durable, re-usable parallelepipedic boxes and their accessories that form a bond stackable system. The standard applies to containers designed to hold bulk or precisely located component loads with a maximum useful load of 50 kg. EN 13199-3 supports consistent performance, interchangeability and safe stacking in industrial packaging and logistics.

Key Topics

The standard focuses on practical, performance-oriented areas relevant to small load carrier systems, including:

• System scope and geometry - specification of parallelepipedic box form-factors used in Bond Stackable Systems (BSS).
• Functional characteristics - requirements related to durability, reusability and load-carrying capability up to 50 kg.
• Accessories and compatibility - guidance on compatible lids, closures, inserts and other accessories that form an integrated stackable system.
• Stackability and bonding features - definition of design features that enable safe vertical stacking and bonded interlocking of units.
• Testing and conformity - performance testing to verify structural integrity, durability and safe operation under intended use.
• Marking and identification - requirements for marking to ensure traceability and correct use across supply chains.

(EN 13199-3 specifies these topics at a system level; consult the full text for exact test procedures, acceptance criteria and dimensional details.)

Applications

EN 13199-3 is directly applicable where repeatable, stackable reusable packaging is needed:

• Manufacturers of reusable plastic or composite boxes and crates who design BSS-compliant products
• Design and packaging engineers specifying small load carriers for production, assembly lines, and warehousing
• Logistics managers and procurement evaluating reusable packaging solutions for component transport
• Quality assurance and testing laboratories conducting conformity and durability testing
• Supply chain operators implementing standardized reusable packaging pools to reduce waste and handling risk

Use cases include automotive component handling, electronics sub-assembly transport, small parts distribution and any process that benefits from bonded stackability and reusable protective packaging.

Related Standards

• EN 13199-3 is part of the EN 13199 series addressing small load carrier systems. Other parts in the series cover different system types and complementary test methods. Organizations implementing EN 13199-3 often reference related national and international packaging and testing standards for comprehensive compliance.
