DIN EN ISO 4180:2010-12

This document 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 document provides guidelines for the compilation of appropriate test schedules. For an unknown distribution environment (case 2), this document provides test schedules in dependence of the test specimen mass and forecast destination. This document 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.
