Transport Packaging — Temperature controlled transport packages for parcel shipping — Part 2: General specifications of testing

This document specifies the test methods of temperature-controlled packages for parcel shipping. Tests include physical, thermal conductivity and insulation performances of transport packages that use insulation for the purpose of blocking thermal conduction between the inside and the outside of a product package that need temperature control.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www .iso .org/

Introduction
This document has been developed following a reflection on the situation where producers and users
experience confusion regarding the test procedures of temperature-controlled transport packages
for parcel shipping. Despite the increasing international attention to product safety and quality of
cold chain parcel shipping through electronic commerce, an International Standard addressing the
variations in the use of proper package testing has been missing.
Physical test methods are based on ISO 2233, ISO 4180 and test methods on insulation performance are
based on the methodologies specified in ISTA Procedure 7E, ASTM D 3103.
Under special circumstances where the weight or products and temperature show differences,
agreements made between stakeholders are followed.
EXAMPLE
a) heavy weighted products;
b) presence of dry ice or possible hazardous materials inside the package;
c) any specific requirements which need to be verified, i.e. recording devices in the Agreement on the International
Carriage of Perishable Foodstuffs and on the Special Equipment to be used for such Carriage (ATP)
