5.3.1 TYPES OF PACKAGING

Disposable packaging: Disposable packaging issuitable only for single use / transport route and is dis-posed of after transport. The use of disposable packag-ing has to be examined as to the cost efficiency.

Reusable packaging: Reusable packaging can beused several times without impairing the protective, stor-ing and transport function of the goods. Thanks to itslonger useful life it should be given preference over dis-posable packaging if possible.

5.3.2 IDENTIFICATION OF PROPERTY

If the packaged goods require a special kind of handlingof the package, the packaging of the packaged goods hasto be identified as to their properties (e.g. fragile, top-heavy) in an appropriate way to ensure the respectivelyrequired handling. Table 5-1 shows the identificationmarking to be used.

5.3 5.3 PACKAGING

The packaging has to be selected always to fulfil the pro-tection, storage, transport and identification functions ofthe packaged goods in a way that easy handling, preser-vation of the quality of the goods and compliance withstatutory stipulations are guaranteed.

Protective function: The packaged goods have tobe protected by suitable packaging from damage, soil-ing or environmental influences which may adverselyaffect the quality of the goods or from causing a hazardto persons or traffic.

Storage and transport function: The packagedgoods have to be packed such that rationalised move-ment and storage of the goods either manually, by pal-let truck, fork lift truck and crane are possible. Hence thehollow space between the pallet feet must not be limit-ed by auxiliary packaging means so that the goods canbe moved by pallet truck or fork lift truck. Moreover ithas to be made sure that the goods cannot get out ofplace or lost during transport. To prevent this, use suit-able aids such as non-slip mats.

Identification function: The packaged goods or itspackaging have to be identified in such a way that easyidentification is possible (incl. identification of dangerousgoods and hazardous materials). For transport of dan-gerous goods, the regulations for dangerous goods mustbe complied with.

Besides the aspects of logistics and quality assurance ofthe goods always the economical and ecological aspectsas well as Manufacturing Instructions SN 200 in therespective current version have to be considered forselection of the packaging. If the respective manufac-turing instructions are not available to the supplier, heshall order a copy.
