This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, eit
16、her by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2002, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 2002. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound
17、to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Annex A is normative.EN 13382:2002 (E) 4 Introduction ISO 67
18、80 was primarily written for pallets for through transit only. This European Standard is based upon, but not identical to ISO 6780:1988, “General purpose flat pallets for through transit of goods Principal dimensions and tolerances”, with special changes to suit European handling systems. It is anti
19、cipated that these changes will be proposed to ISO/TC 51 for possible adoption in due course. In particular, the entry height changes made to ISO 509, “Pallet trucks Principal dimensions”, assume changes to ISO 6780, including a minimum height of entry of 95 mm. An increasing number of standardized
20、pallets are used in automatic storage retrieval machines or on automatic production lines, roller conveyers and wrapping devices. The minimum height of access for lifting devices as given in this European Standard may not be sufficient in all circumstances. The dimensional requirements should take i
21、nto account the requirements for fork lift and hand, pallet trucks, automatic storage retrieval machines and special telescopic fork system requirements. For these systems, the most commonly used pallets are those with 100 mm entry height. Widening of the scope of this European Standard has necessit
22、ated a removal of the normative requirement for stacking up to 4-high allowing for the widespread use of racking systems which permit single or 2-high stacking. The specifier can choose the appropriate level of stacking ability of 2- or 4- high. With regard to tolerances, this document allows for ma
23、nufacture from all materials and the need for both a manufacturing and a material movement tolerance.EN 13382:2001 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the principal dimensions and tolerances for new single-deck and double-deck non-reversible flat pallets of all entry types related to thei
24、r transportation and handling by pallet trucks, fork lift trucks and other appropriate equipment. NOTE Depending on end use and the meeting of tests specified in ISO 8611, such pallets are intended to be stacked: a) in store up to 4-high; b) in transit up to 2-high. 2 Normative references This Europ
25、ean Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications
26、apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments).

28、anticipates that the full range of mechanical handling equipment may be applied at some stage of the journey 4 Dimensions 4.1 Plan dimensions 4.1.1 Nominal overall dimensions The nominal overall plan dimensions of pallets shall be as follows: a) commonly used modular sizes based upon plan module (M)
29、 specified in ISO 3394 of 600 mm 400 mm: 800 mm 1 200 mm (4M); 1200 mm 1 000 mm (5M); 1000 mm 1 200 mm (5M); b) other modular sizes: 800 mm 600 mm (2M) 1200 mm 1 200 mm (6M) c) non-modular sizes: see annex A. 4.1.2 Stringer or the stringerboard dimensions The stringer or the stringerboard dimension
30、is the pallet length and the length (L) is always quoted first in designating plan size. For pallets without stringers the longest dimension is the length. 4.1.3 Moisture content and temperature With sawn timber the dimensions stated relate to measurement at an average moisture content of (20 2) %.
31、For plastics, dimensions are measured at a temperature of (23 2) C.EN 13382:2001 (E) 6 4.1.4 Tolerances The tolerances on the nominal overall plan dimensions given in 4.1.1 shall be 3 mm or 0,4 %, whichever is the greater. 4.2 Vertical dimensions of the entries and openings for lifting devices 4.2.1
32、 Vertical entry apertures The vertical entry apertures for the forks of fork lift trucks and the fingers of pallet trucks shall be not less than 95 mm high (see Figure 1). NOTE For the pallets used in automatic storage and automatically driven conveyors, a minimum entry height of 100 mm is recommend
33、ed. 4.2.2 Distance from the underside of the lowest element of the top deck to the ground The distance from the underside of the lowest element of the top deck to the ground shall not exceed 156 mm for pallets of all designs see Figure 1c). If notches for the forks of fork lift trucks are provided,
34、the distance from the top of the notch to the ground shall be not less than 55 mm (see Figure 3). 4.3 Horizontal dimensions of the entries and openings for lifting devices 4.3.1 Board arrangement and horizontal dimensions The arrangements and horizontal dimensions of the entries for the forks of for
35、k lift trucks and the fingers of pallet trucks shall be as shown in Figure 4 and as specified in Table 1. 4.3.2 Board arrangements and dimensions of the openings in the bottom deck of pallets The arrangements and the dimensions of the openings in the bottom deck of pallets to allow the use of pallet
36、 trucks shall be as shown in Figure 4 and as specified in Table 1. 4.3.3 Centre blocks/stringers Centre blocks/stringers shall be positioned within 4 mm of the pallet centre line. For pallets with two or more intermediate stringers or rows of blocks the centre of the stringers or blocks shall be pos
37、itioned within 4 mm of their nominal position. 4.4 Profiling of bottom deck members To facilitate entry of the finger-wheels of a pallet truck, the thickness of the members of the bottom deck of a pallet shall not exceed 28 mm. If the thickness exceeds 16 mm, the leading and trailing edges of the me
38、mbers of the bottom deck shall be chamfered on each side of the top face as follows: a) the angle between the chamfered face and the horizontal shall be maximum 50, as shown in Figure 2a); b) the height of the vertical face of the member shall not exceed 16 mm, as shown in Figure 2a). Pallets not in
39、tended to be used for through transit are exempt from requirements for profiling. NOTE To aid the use of trucks when using the minimum (95 mm) entry height in 2-way entry pallets, stop chamfers should be considered (see Figure 2). 4.5 Dimensions specific to wing pallets Any projection of 65 mm or gr
40、eater shall be defined as a wing and therefore subject to the specific performance requirements for wing pallets given in ISO 8611, however, the overall (deck) sizes shall fall within the sizes given in 4.1. NOTE The nominal dimensions of the wing pallet are the overall dimensions, however dimension
41、s of the base apertures, entries and openings, are determined by the base plan dimensions. 4.6 Bearing surface of bottom deck 4.6.1 Double-deck pallets For double-deck pallets for stacking, the bearing surface of the element or elements of the bottom deck in contact with the payload directly below o
42、r with the ground shall be equal to or greater than 35 % of the nominal overall plan area. NOTE This value should be regarded as the absolute minimum and should be increased wherever practicable.EN 13382:2001 (E) 7 This value is for solid plane area; where plastic or steel pallets employ a non-conti
43、nuous or mesh design in the bottom bearing surface elements they shall have a minimum 1:3, ratio of contact: plane surface area. 4.6.2 Stacking Single-deck pallets shall not be stacked. 4.7 Squareness At the time of manufacture, the difference in length of the two plan diagonals shall not exceed 1 %
44、 of the nominal diagonal length. 4.8 Flatness At the time of manufacture no part of the top deck shall deviate more than 7 mm out of plane at the six measurement positions of Figure 5. 4.9 Corner chamfer Where a vertical chamfer is required on the corners of the pallet, it shall be at 45 5 with a fa
45、ce width of 10 mm minimum, as shown in Figure 2b). Alternatively, if corner chamfers are rounded, the radius shall be 10 mm minimum.
