NF EN ISO 8611-1, H50-003-1 (03/2025)

This document specifies the test methods available for the evaluation of new flat pallets for handling. The test methods are divided into groups according to: — nominal load tests; — maximum in-service load tests; — comparative tests on durability. This document does not extend to pallets with a fixed superstructure or rigid self-supporting container which may be mechanically attached to the pallet and contribute to its strength. NOTE Specific tests to determine the nominal load cannot replace the value of tests in real conditions of use for specific types of pallets.
