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 4180 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 122, Packaging, Subcommittee SC 3, Performance
requirements and tests for means of packaging, packages and unit loads (as required by ISO/TC 122).
This first edition of ISO 4180 cancels and replaces ISO 4180-1:1980 and ISO 4180-2:1980.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
performance test schedule
single laboratory test, or series of tests, intended to ascertain the performance, under working conditions, of
the subject under test
3.2
complete, filled transport package
packaging, including contents, prepared for distribution
[6]
NOTE ISO 21067 provides terminology relating to packaging.
3.3
distribution system
operations which take place after a package has been filled and closed, including all handling, transport and
storage operations up to and including delivery to the user
4 Distribution systems
Distribution systems exist in great variety and complexity, but however great the complexity, they may be
considered to be combinations of a number of simple elements. These simple elements are:
a) transport of packages from one point to another, with or without change of mode of transport (where
transport shall be considered to include the loading and unloading operations);
b) storage.
5 Hazards
During distribution, a transport package is subjected to a number of hazards which might cause damage.
These hazards are the result of a number of factors, the most important of which are:
a) the characteristics of the distribution system, i. e. the carrier, the mode of transport, the geographic area;
b) the design of the package, i.e. its dimensions, mass and shape and the mechanical characteristic of the
materials of which it is composed.
6 Tests
6.1 General
Laboratory tests on transport packages aim to simulate or represent the distribution hazards.
6.2 Appropriate application of tests
The appropriate application of tests requires
a) a knowledge of the stress arising from these hazards, and
b) the capability of reproducing these stresses by a particular test or, alternatively, of producing damage
identical to that observed in practice.

ISO 4180:2009(E)
6.3 Levels of intensity
The levels of intensity selected for the tests could depend on the factors in 6.2 and:
a) the mass of the package;
b) the distance and the geographic location of the destination;
c) the degree of assurance that the package should give;
d) the nature of the contents and the frequency and value of the consignment.
7 Determination of criteria for acceptance
The criteria for acceptance of a complete filled transport package might be determined by
⎯ the reduction of quality of the package and/or its contents,
⎯ the extent of loss of package contents,
⎯ the extent of deterioration of the package and/or its contents, or
⎯ whether the damaged package represents a hazard or potential hazard in subsequent distribution,
including storage.
In determining the extent of damage that is acceptable the following factors should be considered:
a) the unit value of the contents;
b) the number of units in the complete, filled transport package;
c) the number of complete, filled transport packages in the consignment;
d) the cost of distribution.
In addition it should be considere

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 4180:2009(E)
Packaging — Complete, filled transport packages — General
rules for the compilation of performance test schedules
1 Scope
This International Standard establishes general rules to be used for the compilation of performance test
schedules for complete, filled transport packages intended for use within any distribution system except for the
packages used for dangerous goods.
For a known distribution environment with experimental data available (case 1), this International Standard
provides guide lines for the compilation of appropriate test schedules.
For an unknown distribution environment (case 2), this International Standard provides test schedules in
dependence of the test specimen mass and forecast destination.
This International Standard also gives the factors to be considered in assessing the criteria of acceptance of
such packages after they have been subjected to a package performance test schedule.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
performance test schedule
single laboratory test, or series of tests, intended to ascertain the performance, under working conditions, of
the subject under test
3.2
complete, filled transport package
packaging, including contents, prepared for distribution
[6]
NOTE ISO 21067 provides terminology relating to packaging.
3.3
distribution system
operations which take place after a package has been filled and closed, including all handling, transport and
storage operations up to and including delivery to the user
4 Distribution systems
Distribution systems exist in great variety and complexity, but however great the complexity, they may be
considered to be combinations of a number of simple elements. These simple elements are:
a) transport of packages from one point to another, with or without change of mode of transport (where
transport shall be considered to include the loading and unloading operations);
b) storage.
5 Hazards
During distribution, a transport package is subjected to a number of hazards which might cause damage.
These hazards are the result of a number of factors, the most important of which are:
a) the characteristics of the distribution system, i. e. the carrier, the mode of transport, the geographic area;
b) the design of the package, i.e. its dimensions, mass and shape and the mechanical characteristic of the
materials of which it is composed.
6 Tests
6.1 General
Laboratory tests on transport packages aim to simulate or represent the distribution hazards.
6.2 Appropriate application of tests
The appropriate application of tests requires
a) a knowledge of the stress arising from these hazards, and
b) the capability of reproducing these stresses by a particular test or, alternatively, of producing damage
identical to that observed in practice.

6.3 Levels of intensity
The levels of intensity selected for the tests could depend on the factors in 6.2 and:
a) the mass of the package;
b) the distance and the geographic location of the destination;
c) the degree of assurance that the package should give;
d) the nature of the contents and the frequency and value of the consignment.
7 Determination of criteria for acceptance
The criteria for acceptance of a complete filled transport package might be determined by
⎯ the reduction of quality of the package and/or its contents,
⎯ the extent of loss of package contents,
⎯ the extent of deterioration of the package and/or its contents, or
⎯ whether the damaged package represents a hazard or potential hazard in subsequent distribution,
including storage.
In determining the extent of damage that is acceptable the following factors should be considered:
a) the unit value of the contents;
b) the number of units in the complete, filled transport package;
c) the number of complete, filled transport packages in the consignment;
d) the cost of distribution.
In addition it should be considered whether the contents are
⎯ non-dangerous, or
⎯ dangerous.
Methods of quantifying damage to a package are given in Annex A.
8 Selection of package attitude
The package attitude selected for use in the test should be the attitude of the package presented by the
hazard being simulated by the test.
