The work of preparing International S
8、tandards 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-governmental, in liaison with ISO, als
9、o take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.The main task of technical committees
10、 is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.Attention is drawn to the possibil
11、ity that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.ISO 3676 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 122, Packaging.This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 3676:
12、1983), which has been technically revised. ISO 2012 All rights reserved iiiBS ISO 3676:2012ISO 3676:2012(E)IntroductionA single overall system based on a common module is unlikely to cover all packaged goods in the world, because of substantial differences in the sizes, shapes, and densities of the
13、products, great variety in handling devices, regional government legislation, etc.However, the application of such a system is a long-term policy goal, assuming that this does not lead to the exclusion of commodity dimensions and goods which are compatible with the modular system.A standardized unit
14、-load dimension is intended to prevent inadvertent over-sizing, and thus jamming against internal walls, or under-sizing, and thus wasting cargo vehicle space and/or rendering the load susceptible to transit damage.Determining acceptable deviations in dimensions of unit loads is a complex matter, si
15、nce the dimensions of the transport package, and thus the load itself, tend to change during filling, handling, warehousing, and transport. See Figure 1.One factor affecting the measurement of the unit load is load bulge (filling, compression, and settling bulge). Factors influencing the load bulge
16、are transport package materials, nature of contents, length of time in storage, moisture and temperature conditions, and transit conditions.Another cause of unit load enlargement is stacking irregularity (unitizing inefficiency, out-of-line stacking, and out-of-square stacking) which occurs frequent
17、ly and particularly in manual formation of the transport package layers in a unit load.Such factors, which tend to change the plan dimensions of the unit load, cannot always be avoided but they are to be controlled by providing a dimensional deviation for the standardized unit loads.When choosing tr
18、ansport package materials and when adding subsequent layers of transport packages to complete the unit load, it is to be ensured that the resulting overall length and width dimensions do not exceed the referenced plan dimensions of the unit load, at any stage of the distribution chain.Stackingirregu
