When goods need to be kept at controlled temperatures, packaging them for transport becomes challenging. ISO 22982‑1 addresses this challenge by providing guidelines on packaging temperature-controlled goods for transport.
ISO 22982 discusses transport packaging, and ISO 22982‑1 specifies the general requirements of transport packaging, especially the containers, which are formed or prepared for temperature-controlled transport services of parcel shipping.
Note 1: Safety or sanitation is not covered in ISO 22982‑1.
Note 2: ISO 22982‑1 sets out the general requirements for transport packaging for safe storage and distribution of temperature-sensitive products.
ISO 22982‑1 on the transport packaging of temperature-controlled goods is useful for:
ISO 22982- 1 provides the general requirements of temperature-controlled packaging systems for transport packaging during parcel shipping. The packages are delivered under a temperature-controlled supply chain for the purpose of controlling products' qualities, safety, and services.
ISO 22982‑1 is directly applicable to developed countries in terms of cold chain systems or temperature-controlled supply chains.
