Beneficiary fumigation & packing statement The beneficiary fumigation & packing statement contains information if a container is fumigated or not and if applicable, which kind of wood packaging has been used. 4 possible statements do apply for this statement: a) in case container does not contain any pallets (solid wood or any other wooden pallet) statement shall be “no wooden pallets used” b) if non solid wooden packaging like for example plywood is used, in addition to the Benificiary fumigation & packing statement a “Non-wood Packing Declaration” has to be presented. Statement shall be “non wood packaging used” c) If untreated solid wood is used for packaging, statement shall be “solid untreated wood used for packaging” and “Container fumigated”. In addition a “Fumigation Certificate” is necessary d) If treated solid wood is used for packaging, statement shall be “treated solid wood used for packaging” , “pallets fumigated/heat treated and marked according to ISPM 15” and “Container not fumigated”. For this case a “Fumigation Certificate” is not necessary.

4. Handing-over of goods / Safety of goods The consignor is responsible to ensure that goods are not damaged during transport. As per the most updated international transport regulations, this is valid even if the driver helps in loading. The supplier shall ensure that the goods are packed properly to avoid damage during transit and during loading/unloading operations. The supplier is responsible - also in case of FCA shipment - that the merchandise is handed over in a proper state to carrier that has been appointed for the transport by Lux/Euromate.

5. Pre Shipment Inspection / goods receipt For every delivery there will be a previous random inspection of the merchandise in relation to quantity and defects according to the Lux/Euromate QM-Process. Lux and/or Euromate will perform this or the service agent appointed by Lux /Euromate - in case of FCA or FOB incoterms at supplier’s premises by a PSI (Pre Shipment

Inspection) before loading - in case of CPT incoterms by random inspection in the OBI stores on the basis of the

accompanying documents and the delivered number of packing units. In case of CPT incoterms: If any quantity is incomplete or if any other defect is identified, the problem will be marked by Lux/Euromate or OBI store on the delivery note and will have to be confirmed through countersign by the delivering agent. If the freight forwarding agent refuses to accept the defects or the incomplete quantity, the entire consignment will be rejected and shipped back at the cost and consequences of the supplier. In case of non-conformance to the requirements of the Lux/Euromate Shipping & Packing Instruction, Lux/Euromate and/or the OBI-store reserve the right to refuse the goods and return them to the supplier. All major costs incurred will be charged to the supplier.

This is also valid for detailed check-over / random sampling for deliveries to a Lux/Euromate warehouse or to a warehouse assigned by Lux/Euromate.

6.1 Rework for deliveries to Lux/Euromate in case of failure If failures in packing are detected during the incoming inspection at the Lux/Euromate warehouse or in the warehouse of a service provider appointed by Lux/Euromate, rework may become necessary, such as - attachment of new or additional labels to single units - attachment of new or additional shipping marks - repacking of export cartons due to wrong packaging units - repacking of pallets due to incorrect quantities on pallet and/or incorrect packing details then Lux/Euromate will send all relevant information to the supplier regarding the nonconformity to the order and Lux/Euromate Instructions. If the supplier is not able to perform the rework by himself in time, Lux/Euromate will appoint the rework to a service provider authorised by Lux/Euromate assuring commercially available prices. The costs for the rework will be charged back to the supplier plus 25% handling charge. Full documentation of invoices will be provided.

10. Transport packing (export carton)

10.1 General requirements - Transport packing shall be designed for easy handling and safe and secure transportation,

shall allow formation of efficient load units and optimal utilisation of containers. Packing material must offer a professional protection of products which allows delivery of the goods without damage or any impairment of quality. Empty space in cartons has to be filled with air-filled cushions

- Dimension shall be suitable to be packed on Euro-pallets without excess length. Example:

600 x 400 export cartons (length x width) match with a 1200 x 800 mm Euro-pallet (length x width).

- Maximum weight of export carton shall not exceed 30 kg if the article’s weight itself doesn’t

reach this limit. - For cartons at least double wall-corrugated board has to be used. Cartons must be fit to

withstand gross weight of the merchandise as well as dynamic stress during transportation and in warehouse handling and it must be adequate that the cartons will arrive at OBI stores without damage or deformation.

- Transport packing must be suitable for stacking (see chapter 11.8). If necessary mark

packing with suitable stacking and handling instructions. - Sharp-edged or pointed objects shall not protrude the packing. - Transport packing must serve as a protection against illegal removal of single articles. - Transport packing must be closed tightly. If necessary push-in-covers have to be taped

with adhesive tape (no PVC). Minimum width of tape is 50 mm. - Adequate consideration of the special features of the goods: Goods susceptible to

humidity are to be packaged in such a way that freight forwarding services (transport, storage and reloading) will not allow moisture to penetrate and affect the goods.

- Containers with liquids have to be secured to prevent leakage, in accordance with the laws

that regulate the road- and sea transport of liquids. - The legal requirements with respect to dangerous goods are to be followed. In case of

dangerous materials, the statutory warning symbols are to be affixed on the item packing (as for the ADR / RID / IMO regulations).

- Materials must be suitable for recycling.

- Cartons shall comply to one of the international FEFCO-ASSCO-CODEs Information regarding the FEFCO-code at: www.fefco.org

- Cracked and ripped cartons are not acceptable and will be repacked at supplier’s cost.

- Every delivery that does not contain wooden packing materials needs to have a Non-wood packing declaration. Regarding this point please see Chapter 10.12

- Export cartons are not to be nailed. Should nailing be necessary due to the product

weight, the supplier needs to make sure that no additional risks can occur due to nails at the carton. This means that all nails are to be covered and protected at the inner side of the export carton, so that neiter personal injury nor scratch marks on the gift boxes occur.

10.7 Marking of additional Sales Packaging (Empty cartons) Additional sales packaging cartons must not be packed onto the pallet to avoid stock differences. The export cartons containing these empty cartons must be marked clearly visible on three sides with “Leerkartons / Empty Sales Packaging”.

10.8 Batch identification All products delivered to Lux or Euromate must have a batch identification. In order to identify products for processing, balancing, storage and recalls, the batch identification code ensures quality tracking and feedback within the supply chain. All articles must show a clear detectable P/O No. Products which require a rating label must have the batch identification information printed on the rating label of the correlative product as shown in the example of figure A. This means that if an item consists of a cordless drill including a bit set, only the gift box (and in this case the rating label) has to display the P/O No., not every single part of the set. Explanation of the batch identification logic is shown in the green framed box. Also refer to point 9.3. Please note that there are two different types of rating labels as shown in Example A: one rating label for machines and one for all other items. Furthermore the batch identification must be present on the packaging such as giftboxes, packing bags or wherever a GTIN might be present as shown in figures B, C and D. The P/O No. must be shown per unit. As example, if an article will be delivered per set, the unit has to be marked on the gift box. If the article is a single tool (e.g. a fork spanner) without any giftbox or hang tag, the P/O No. has to be shown on the GTIN sticker. No further special sticker concerning the P/O No. will be necessary. Example A Type 1 shows the correct batch identification of rating labels for products which are specified in the machine directive 2006/42/EG. All other items must show the batch indentification as specified in Example A Type 2.

In order to simplify batch identification our individual order No.has to be sticked by means of a label beneath the GTIN of the printed giftbox, packing bags or wherever a GTIN is present. Size of the label has to be 40 mm wide and 4 mm in height and fits into the provided space beneath the GTIN (Figure C). The font and size oft he P/O No. shall be stated in Arial/10 Pt. The costs for labelling the giftboxes with the P/O No. have to be borne by the supplier.

10.10 Stackability of export cartons Regardless of the type of cardboard box chosen, the following requirements must be satisfied: Corrugated board must respect gross weight, stacking ability, and strain during transportation (included warehouse handling) and must be of such way that the goods and the cartons will not reach the receiver damaged or misshapen (no detraction of quality). Cartons must be suitable for stacking in 20“/40“ Containers or HC Containers (High Cube Container) with a maximum height of 2,38 m respectively 2,68 m (HC). If necessary, mark package with proper stacking and handling instructions. The supplier is responsible to ensure the above-mentioned requirements by the use of suitable cardboard export cartons.

10.11 Calculation of compression force affecting to export cartons The following formula shall be used to determine the compression force of the lower carton according to ISTA Series 1 standard: Example: - Headroom of 20“/40“ container = 238,0 cm - Height of packing unit = 23,8 cm - Safety factor = 5 - Weight of packing unit = 8,0 kg Result: The carton at the bottom must be able to withstand a compression force of 360,0 kg

10.12 Loading of containers - Ensure easy loading and unloading of transport vehicles with standard mechanical

handling equipment such as wheelbarrows, forklifts etc. - If possible the cardboard boxes shall be packed into the container in an interleave way: Picture 4 - The supplier has to find the optimal loading of containers related to the

easyGO.load-tool with the responsible Merchandiser or Product Manager.

- Pallets / export cartons must be fixed inside of containers in a manner that allows no skid of the pallets / export cartons during transportation.

- In case of not completely loaded container it is the supplier’s responsibility to

assure that the goods will be packed in a way that prevents the goods from shifting within the container. Wedging with wooden packing material may do this. In case the supplier uses wooden packing material it has to be ensured that only FSC-certified wood will be used and that the regulations mentioned in 10.14 or 10.15 will be met.

- Container loaded with goods packed in cardboard boxes must be provided with an

appropriate amount of silica gel to ensure that the cartons will not macerate during transportation (sea freight).

- If silica gel is being used the package of this has to be marked according to chapter

9.7 of this instruction. - Only dry containers shall be used. Wet flooring is not allowed, as this will macerate

the cardboard boxes during transportation. - Load Factors

10.14 Wood containing packing materials In case the manufacturer is not based in the European Union (exception: Switzerland), it has to be avoided that any packing material is made of raw solid untreated wood. Preferred is the use of FSC-certified wood based products such as plywood or particle board or plastic materials. In case the supplier chooses to use wood based products for packaging the treatment of wood (fumigation and/or heat treatment) as it is mentioned in the next paragraph will not be necessary. All articles made of non-natural products will no longer be fumigated. This means that for these products the loading devices such as pallets and packing materials (e.g. wooden crates etc.) must either be conform with the IPPC-Norm or the use of natural products for transport packing must be fully abandoned.

Non-wood packing declaration The declaration belongs to the shipping documents and has to be filled in by the supplier. It has to be printed on company’s letterhead. One original form per container is mandatory. It is not sufficient to append only one declaration per delivery. As a master document Annex 3 has to be considered.

10.15 Directive 2004/102/EC for wood packing material The use of solid wood shall be avoided. If raw untreated wood is being used as packing material it has to comply with the ISPM No. 15 standard by IPPC and with the whole procedure of treating and marking of packing materials affected by this. The pallets have to be marked like this: AA – BB - CCDDDD The markings has to be placed on two opposite sides of the packaging so that they are easily visible and legible. The colors red and orange have not to be used for the markings since these colors are used internationally for the labelling of dangerous goods. The supplier ensures that the measures were taken according to ISPM No. 15 if raw untreated wood is being used. For further information please see: https://www.ippc.int In case the supplier chose to use solid wood it has to be confirmed by the responsible Merchandiser or Product Manager. For deliveries containing treated solid wood the supplier needs to append the certificate of the chosen treatment. The Non-wood-declaration is not applicable in this case.

10.16 Requirements for fumigation of containers Containers which have been fumigated must have a "Fumigation Certificate". Fumigation might be necessary due to product and/or packing requirements (please see also chapter 10.14) All certificates must be part of the shipping documents (as described in chapter 3) and must show that containers have also been degassed and all relevant warning signs have been removed. Typical products for the need of fumigation are:

• textiles, shoes, leather articles • Rattan • Bamboo • Wicker • Ceramics with natural material, e.g. rattan, seagrass, water hyacinth, palm etc. • Items made of material, e.g. straw, seagrass, water hyacinth, palm, coconut, maize etc.

Further information, especially regarding the acceptable fumigation substances are to be taken from the actual Hazardous Substances Ordinance, relevant chapter for fumigation of containers is mainly annex 1, Nr. 4.

11.3 Packing of pallets - Products must be packed compact on the pallet so that the products on the pallet cannot

move against each other. - Export cartons resp. the merchandise must be fixed on the pallet in a manner, which

allows safe transportation and safe handling of the pallet: loading, unloading, handling with a forklift.

- The load shall not exceed the overall dimension of the pallet to an excessive amount. - Packed pallets must not be top-heavy. Goods have to be packed equally in order to

distribute a counterbalanced weight. - In case bulky goods or goods without export cartons have to be shipped on pallets (e.g.

pottery, furniture, glassware), the goods must be prevented from damage during transportation by additional packing by means of corrugated carton, wooden spacers etc. Furthermore, the load must be tight up to the pallet by means of securing tapes.

- Packing of pallet must provide protection against atmospheric exposure and staining, in general by the use of PE film, including the top surface.

- See chapter 10.4 for shipping mark for pallets without export cartons. In special cases a shipping mark is required for pallets packed with sales packing (e.g. tiles). Please consider the order documents for special requirements.

11.4 No articles with open top (only applicable for Euromate articles) Articles, which can be filled with water - either have to be stacked upside down - or must have a top cover. Plastic film is not sufficient! This requirement is due to the fire prevention regulation at the POS (Point of Sale). In case of fire those articles would absorb the water from sprinkler and water spray fire-extinguishing installation. Thus the sprinkler installation would become ineffective. This designation is only applicable for Euromate articles. No top-covers (cardboard, plastic hoods, shrink film…) are allowed for use on Lux articles. Picture 11

Preferred: Top of box is covered with caps

Not acceptable: Top of box is open or covered with plastic sheet only

11.5 Maximum height and maximum weight of pallets The maximum or preferred height is stated in the purchase order. The standard height for packed pallets is 2,20 m including pallet. Pallets higher than 2.20 m will be repacked at the cost of the supplier or may even be sent back to the supplier. The packed pallets must not exceed the maximum weight of 1200 kg. The maximum weight of export cartons must not exceed 30 kg, except for articles with product specific reasons. For articles heavier than 30 kg with a packing unit >1 the packing unit is to be devided if applicable. Should the weight exceed 75kg, the article must be packed on a pallet.

11.6 Stretch- and shrink film - Each pallet has to be wrapped with PE-film whereof the shrink-film-system is preferred. - The thickness of the stretch film must be between 15 µ and 17 µ (0,015 mm – 0,017 mm);

the shrink film must have a minimum thickness of 75 µ (0,075 mm). - The packed pallet must be wrapped with stretch film at least 3 times. It is necessary to

shrink the goods together with the base of the pallet to ensure sufficient stiffness (see picture below).

- The goods must be covered with film from all sites including the top surface of the pallet in

order to provide sufficient protection against dust, humidity etc. - For self-stabilising goods such as cartons etc. stretch film is sufficient. - For unstable goods, for example monobloc chairs, tables, or pallet packed with different

goods shrink film / stretch film packing in connection with securing tapes must be used. Picture 12

Packing of pallets (example) Pallets with ripped or otherwise damaged stretch or shrink film will be considered as defective.

12. Providing changeovers In order to simplify the delivery process for the supplier and Lux/Euromate, the service agent appointed for the transport may, in case of large volumes, place empty containers ready on the premises of the supplier. The service agent will position these changeovers as per the instructions of the supplier.

13. Regulations governed by law Packing units or additional packing elements exceeding the following limits are prohibited to put into circulation: The accumulated limit of the concentration of heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury and chromium VI) is 100 ppm. General limit for dioxine: 5μg / kg
