In 1992 the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) accepted ISO4178:1980 as European Standard EN24178:1992. As a consequence of implementing the Euro

The text of the International Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as a British Standard without deviation. Some term
13、inology and certain conventions are not identical with those used in British Standards; attention is especially drawn to the following. Wherever the words “International Standard” appear, referring to this standard, they should be read as “British Standard”. A British Standard does not purport to in

25、ntents is important in the development of new test methods, in refining existing test methods, and in the preparation of appropriate test schedules. The study of such relationships is facilitated if, when carrying out distribution trials involving complete, filled transport packages, adequate inform
26、ation is recorded and if such information is recorded on a uniform basis. This enables proper comparisons to be made of data obtained at different times and under various circumstances. The purpose of this International Standard is to aid such comparisons by specifying the information to be recorded
27、. Its contents are likely to be of interest to all concerned with distribution trials involving complete, filled transport packages. 1 Scope and field of application This International Standard specifies the information to be recorded when carrying out distribution trials involving complete, filled
28、transport packages. It is applicable to distribution systems in which the hazards of stacking, vertical impact, horizontal impact, and vibration are encountered or are likely to be encountered. 2 Information to be recorded The following information shall be recorded in the order given. Where possibl
29、e, results shall be set out in the form of a table. 2.1 Description of trial A brief description of the trial shall be given, including: a) the purpose of the trial; b) a brief description of the package(s) used; c) the starting point and destination of the package(s), if a journey was involved; d)
30、a description of the operations carried out on the package(s), and the order in which they were carried out; e) the time intervals between the various operations carried out on the package(s); f) the duration of each of the various operations carried out on packages; g) the modes of transport, if an
31、y, involved at each stage of the trial. 2.2 Results of trial The results of the trial shall be given and may be quoted in terms of the reduction in quality of the package and/or its contents, by the extent of loss of package contents, by the extent of damage to the package and/or its contents, or in
32、 terms of measurements made on the package and/or the contents. Preferably, the results shall be in such terms that changes in the factors under investigation in the trial can be correctly assigned to the operations and hazards in the distribution system that produce them. 2.3 Package A description
33、of each package shall be given, including: a) mass, in kilograms; b) dimensions (actual), in millimetres; c) the nature of the packaging, including fittings and method of sealing; d) the contents; e) the marking of the package; f) the handling aids attached or available for use. 2.4 Hazards in trial
34、 Climatic conditions at each operation or hazard in the trial shall be recorded, preferably by means of a continuous recorder. Where necessary, operations involving the same hazard shall be recorded separately. Information shall be recorded for each type of hazard as follows. 2.4.1 Stacking The foll
35、owing information shall be recorded for each stage in the trial at which packages were stacked: a) the number of packages stacked; b) the number of packages on which no load was superimposed; c) the attitude of each package; d) the height of the stack and, if the packages in the stack were assorted,
36、 the average density of the stack; e) the nature of the upper and lower loading surfaces; f) the duration of loading of packages, preferably in the form of a cumulative frequency curve; g) the stacking pattern, if the packages in the stack were identical; h) how measurements were carried out.EN24178
37、:1992 4 BSI 10-1999 2.4.2 Vertical impact The following information shall be recorded for each stage in the trial at which packages sustained vertical impact: a) the number of packages observed or measured; b) the number of packages which sustained no drop; c) the attitude of the packages; d) the dr
38、op heights, preferably in the form of a cumulative frequency distribution of drop height but, if this is not possible, the5 and50 and95%ile points shall be recorded whenever possible; e) the number of drops; f) the nature of the impact surfaces; g) how measurements were carried out; h) the time inte
39、rvals between drops, if more than one drop per package was involved. Where applicable the following information shall also be recorded: j) the vehicle or craft involved; k) the degree of loading of the vehicle; l) the positions in the vehicle at which measurements were made; m) the route and type of
40、 terrain (or sea or air conditions). 2.4.3 Horizontal impact The following information shall be recorded for each stage in the trial at which packages sustained horizontal impact: a) the number of packages observed or measured; b) the number of packages which sustained no impact; c) the attitude of
41、the packages; d) the form of the cumulative frequency distribution for velocity of impact, but if this is not possible, the5 and50 and95% ile points shall be recorded for1 to n impacts on an individual package; e) the number of impacts; f) the nature of the impact surfaces; g) how measurements were
42、carried out; h) the time interval between impacts, if the trial comprises several operations involving horizontal impact. Where applicable, the following information shall also be recorded: j) the vehicle or craft involved; k) the degree of loading of the vehicle; l) the positions in the vehicle at
43、which measurements were made; m) the route and type of terrain (or sea or air conditions). 2.4.4 Vibration The following information shall be recorded for each stage in the trial at which packages were vibrated: a) the number of packages on which measurements were made; b) the attitude of the packag
44、es; c) the vibration frequency and amplitude. If there was more than one vibration frequency or amplitude, the distribution curve shall be given; d) the duration of vibration; e) the magnitude of the superimposed load, if any, in kilograms; f) how measurements were carried out and the records analys
45、ed. Where applicable, the following information shall also be recorded: g) the vehicle or craft involved; h) the degree of loading of the vehicle; j) the positions in the vehicle at which measurements were made; k) the route and type of terrain (or sea or air conditions). 2.5 General information The
46、 following general information shall also be recorded: a) organization(s) and individuals concerned in the trial and in the analysis of the results; b) any other relevant information.blankBS EN 24178:1993 ISO4178:1980 BSI 389 Chiswick High Road London W4 4AL BSIBritishStandardsInstitution BSI is the
