Packaging, transport and storage
4.1 Packaging
4.1.1 Purpose
The packaging is designed to protect the packaged goods both during trans-
port and for loading and unloading as well as during periods of storage in
such a way that no (detrimental) changes occur. The packaging must protect
the goods against permitted transport stresses such as vibration, knocks and
moisture (rain, snow, condensation).
The packaging also prevents undesired position changes of the packaged
goods within the packaging during storage. The packaged goods must be
prepared for shipment before actually being packed so that the goods can be
transported safely, economically and in accordance with regulations.
4.1.2
Suitability, structure and production
The goods are packaged in a sturdy cardboard box. This ensures that the
shipment remains in the intended transport position and that none of its com-
ponents touches the load surface during transport or the floor after it is un-
loaded.
The box is designed for a maximum load of 10 kg.
Inlays inside the box stabilize the goods, preventing impermissible changes of
position, and protect them from vibration.
