1、CGSB-43.168-2014Bulk packaging for computer equipmentICS 55.040CGSB StandardThe CANADIAN GENERAL STANDARDS BOARD (CGSB), under whose auspices this standard has been developed, is a government agency within Public Works and Government Services Canada. CGSB is engaged in the production of voluntary st
2、andards in a wide range of subject areas through the media of standards committees and the consensus process. The standards committees are composed of representatives of relevant interests including producers, consumers and other users, retailers, governments, educational institutions, technical, pr
3、ofessional and trade societies, and research and testing organizations. Any given standard is developed on the consensus of views expressed by such representatives. CGSB has been accredited by the Standards Council of Canada as a national standards-development organization. The standards that it dev
4、elops and offers as National Standards of Canada conform to the criteria and procedures established for this purpose by the Standards Council of Canada. In addition to standards it publishes as National Standards, CGSB produces standards to meet particular needs, in response to requests from a varie
5、ty of sources in both the public and private sectors. Both CGSB standards and CGSB national standards are developed in conformance with the policies described in the CGSB Policy and Procedures Manual for the Development and Maintenance of Standards. CGSB standards are subject to review and revision
6、to ensure that they keep abreast of technological progress. CGSB will initiate the review of this standard within five years of the date of publication. Suggestions for their improvement, which are always welcome, should be brought to the notice of the standards committees concerned. Changes to stan
7、dards are issued either as separate amendment sheets or in new editions of standards. An up-to-date listing of CGSB standards, including details on latest issues and amendments, and ordering instructions, is found in the CGSB Catalogue at our Web site www.tpsgc -pwgsc.gc.ca/ ongc-cgsb along with mor

These performance requirements provide accommodation so that the computer equip
22、ment is protected while ensuring that environmental, risk and cost-based factors are met. Suitable packaging is necessary to protect and transport computer equipment safely to ensure the fragile components are secured. However, the amount of packaging required to protect this equipment is often desi
23、gned for single-use, and the packaging is often not recyclable or reusable. The large amount of computer equipment purchased creates enormous packaging waste. This has resulted in an increased demand by both governments and private industry for environmentally preferable packaging that conforms to p
24、erformance requirements.This standard supports the Canadian national economy by providing clear and precise attributes specifically aimed at bulk packaging for computer equipment. This standard protects consumers by specifying bulk packaging quality expectations. Further, the standard supports green
25、 procurement initiatives and sustainable development by clearly stating how environmental packaging criteria shall be implemented. The fundamental goal of this standard is to ensure that bulk packaging is designed in such a way that the computer equipment is protected for transport and that the pack
26、aging can be easily reused/recycled/returned to reduce the cost to the supplier and recipient while promoting environmental responsibility.Units of measurement used in this standard are given in metric units with yard/pound equivalents shown in brackets, as exemplified by a 130 mm (5.25 in) drive ba
27、y. Computer equipment industry standard measurement nomenclature is expressed in yard/pound units therefore SI units are presented as rounded values of the industry measurement.This standard was prepared by the CGSB Committee on bulk packaging for computer equipment and has been formally approved by
28、 the Committee.CGSB-43.168-20141 CGSB 2014 All rights reservedBulk packaging for computer equipment1 ScopeThis standard specifies the performance requirements related to the bulk packaging used for computer equipment procured by the Canadian federal government.This standard consists of four main sec
