BS EN 15433-6 specifies the technical and functional properties of automatic recording equipment used to determine randomly appearing shocks during transportation. BS EN 15433-6 defines the sensors to be attached to the device and specifies the minimum requirements for the parameters to be adjusted. BS EN 15433-6 also defines the minimum requirements for the data analysis, as well as the data presented.
BS EN 15433-6 on the automatic recording systems for measuring randomly occurring shock during monitoring of transports is useful for:
BS EN 15433-6 becomes significant when related to the realization of the European Directive on Packaging and Packaging Waste (Directive 94/62 EC, 20th December 1994), as amended by the Directive 2005/20/EC of 9th March 2005. BS EN 15433-6 specifies requirements on the avoidance or reduction of packaging waste and requires that the amount of packaging material is adjusted to the expected transportation load, to protect the transportation item adequately.
BS EN 15433-6 based on scientifically confirmed values, which can adequately describe and characterize the magnitudes of transportation loads, especially in the domain of dynamic mechanical loads that do not exist nationally or internationally. Reasons for this are mainly the absence of published data, insufficient description of the measurements or restrictions on the dissemination of this information. BS EN 15433-6 defines requirements that should be observed when automatic recording systems are being used for a transportation survey. BS EN 15433-6 deviates from the characteristics of the other parts of the series, as in this case, the prime concern is not the need for scientifically based and generally applicable data, which are to be used for standardization purposes, but to assist users of “shock recorders“.
BS EN 15433-6:2016 supersedes BS EN 15433-6:2007 which has been withdrawn. BS EN 15433-6:2016 has been editorially revised.
