4 Packaging, transport and storage
22 BA5789879-01 EN
4.1 Purpose
The packaging is designed to protect the packaged product during transport,
loading, unloading and during periods of storage in such a way that no detri-
mental changes occur. The packaging must protect the goods against per-
mitted transport stresses such as vibration, knocks and moisture (rain, snow,
condensation).
The packaging also prevents the packaged goods from moving impermissi-
bly within the packaging.
4.2 Suitability, structure and production
The goods are packaged in a sturdy cardboard box or solid wooden crate.
These ensure that the shipment is secure when in the intended transporta-
tion position and that none of its parts touch the loading surface of the
means of transport or touch the ground after unloading.
Inlays inside the box or crate stabilize the goods, preventing impermissible
changes of position and protecting them from vibration.
4.3 Markings
The packaging bears a signature with instructions for safe transport and cor-
rect storage. The following symbols apply to the shipment of non-hazardous
goods. Adherence to these symbols is mandatory.

4.4 Transportation, receipt and handling of shipments
In addition to vibrations, jolts must also be expected during transportation. In
order to prevent possible damage, avoid dropping, tipping, knocking over
and colliding with the product.
Should the packaging tip over or fall, damage is to be expected regardless of
the weight.
