'Packaging -- Complete, filled transport packages -- Stability testing of unit loads'

The tests are intended to assess the performance of completely formed unit loads as they are subjected to the hazards of (land) environmental exposure, storage, handling and transportation. They are concerned with pallet handling, clamp handling, push/pull handling, examination of failure and may be performed as part of a sequence. Marine environment is not dealt with. Annex A describes lift truck handling tests.
