1、Designation: D6256/D6256M 10Standard Specification forWood-Cleated Shipping Boxes with Skidded, Load-BearingBases1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6256/D6256M; the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the
2、 year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval. A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers the fabrication of new wood-cleated boxes with skidded, load-bearing bases. Boxes c
3、overedby this specification are designed for nonregulated domesticand overseas shipment of loads less than 2500 lb 1134 kg andnot greater than 16 ft 4877 mm in length (see 9.1). Regulatedcommodities shipments may require better boxes than thosespecified herein (see 9.2).1.2 The performance of wood-c
4、leated boxes with skidded,load-bearing bases is dependent on their fabricated compo-nents; therefore, a variety of types, styles, and classes reflectingvaried performance are specified. This specification, however,does not cover box performance under all atmosphere, han-dling, shipping and storage c
5、onditions.1.3 If the use of other construction methods or techniquesare acceptable and permitted (see 5.1.18), the resulting pack-aging systems shall be of equal or better performance thanwould result from the use of these specified materials andprocedures. The appropriate distribution cycle specifi
6、ed inPractice D4169 can be used to develop comparative proceduresand criteria.1.4 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, theSI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in eachsystem are not exact equivalents; therefor
7、e, each system mustbe used independently of the other. Combining values from thetwo systems may result in nonconformance with the standard.See IEEE/ASTM SI 10 for conversion of units.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is there
8、sponsibility of the user of the standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
