4 Requirements for containers and kits
4.1 General
All containers shall be designed in order to reach the relevant K-value for its application.
4.2 Materials and components
The materials shall be durable and shall not encourage the development of mould or emit odours.
Internal and external coverings shall be resistant to wear and capable of being cleaned effectively and
hygienically. They shall not crack, chip, flake, rub off or soften under normal conditions of use or during
cleaning. Detergents and disinfectants, cleaning and disinfection procedures, recommended by the
equipment manufacturer, shall be used.
Metal parts, used in the construction of equipment, shall have resistance to corrosion appropriate to
their location and function.
Internal and external coverings and insulation shall be resistant to temperature ranges intended to be
applied.
When the container is intended to be loaded with unpacked goods, the internal covering materials and
articles shall comply with further requirements for materials and articles intended to come into contact
with goods, if applicable.
The materials shall be resistant to moisture and shall neither be toxic nor contaminate the foodstuff.
Safety devices already integrated in the vehicle (for example: inside unlocking of doors, exit aids) shall
not be interfered by fitting of the insulation to the load space.
4.3 Thermal insulation
4.3.1 General
When selecting the insulating material, it shall be ensured that it:
— is odourless and resistant to uptake of odours;
— shows only moisture absorption that the selected layer material allows;
— is decay-resistant;
— shows dimensional stability in the temperature range from −40°C to +80°C and has sufficient
strength and dimensional stability for all intended ranges of application;
— has a good thermal insulation with low ageing properties.
NOTE For reasons of energy savings, maintaining the temperature of the goods during transport and
operational costs, the level of insulation of the container could take into account:
— the temperature difference between inside and outside temperature ranges which is intended to be met
during use of the container;
— the optimization of Europallet transport.
For energy savings of the cooling and/or heating devices only, not including traction energy
consumption, it is strongly recommended to choose a K-value with the following formula:
K≤ (5)
TT−
( )
ei
4.3.2 Seals
The doors or other openings and their frames shall be provided with sufficient seal.
When selecting the seals, it shall be ensured that:
— they are fully serviceable at temperatures between −40 °C and +80 °C;
— they shall be fitted in a way that they can be replaced;
