20、. The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non
21、-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are describ
22、ed in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).Attention is drawn to t

27、s International Standard is intended to assist this process, in that, through its implementation, the safety and longevity of repaired pallets will be maximised. This International Standard also refers particularly to new pallet standards and prescriptive pallet specifications in wide use.There is n
28、o requirement in this International Standard for pallet repairers to undertake tests, since, if guidance given in this International Standard is followed and systematic repair and inspection systems are used, then a successful repair is assumed to follow.There are four related International Standard

32、the Annexes A to D show examples of defects and damage which make the widely used pallets unacceptable for use. For other pallet types similar criteria should be set up.

39、eptable palletThe general conditions which make a pallet unacceptable for use are as follows.a) One deckboard missing or broken, either obliquely or across.b) Either one block, stringer (bearer) or stringerboard missing or broken.c) Missing wood on deckboards to such an extent that on one deckboard,
40、 two or more nail shanks are visible, or on more than two deckboards, one or more nail shanks are visible, or missing wood of more than 1/4 of the width of the board for 1/4 length. Missing wood on a deckboard between the blocks of more than 1/4 of the width of the deckboard.d) Splits on deckboards
41、of more than 1/2 of the width or the length of the deckboard, which cannot be securely nailed.e) Wings on pallets may only have missing wood from inner deckboard ends for a maximum of 1/3 of projecting wing length.f) Missing wood on blocks, stringers (bearers) or stringerboards, if more than one nai
42、l shank is visible at any one joint.g) Depending on use, dirty or contaminated pallet. If any doubt exists as to the nature of the contamination, care shall be taken in its identification and subsequent disposal.h) Older pallets with a combination of minor damage or loose joints and with a poor appe
