Box pallets make goods easier to transport. Box pallets are intended for repeated use while maintaining their serviceability and their safe handling. Box pallets are used for transport, mechanical handling by fork-lift and hand-pallet trucks, and for Bulk storage in stacks, storage where, for safety reasons.
BS EN 13626 provides definitions and specifies general requirements and test methods regarding the use of reusable box pallets. BS EN 13626 applies to box pallets, post pallets and cage pallets which are handled with forklift trucks or pallet trucks and no other lifting devices.
Note: BS EN 13626 does not address tests for storage in racks and specific transportation conditions.
BS EN 13626 on box pallets testing for packaging is useful for:
Box pallets offer protection to goods by ensuring that they are secured in one place. A pallet enables the stacking of smaller items making it easier to keep track of the goods. Testing of box pallets is required to determine any need for corrective actions in the manufacturing process. Good quality control helps companies meet consumer demands for better products.
BS EN 13626 walks through the tests such as stacking test using a static load, vertical impact by dropping, localised impact test, base deflection test, vibration test, lift truck stacking test, and determination of static friction coefficient. Following these tests, you can ensure the quality of pallets and ensure that they are safe for packaging products.
BS EN 13626 guidelines help you to ensure the quality and functionality of box pallets which can provide precise packaging for any type of product. Use BS EN 13626 guidelines to ensure that your box pallets comply with the given standards.
