Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives ).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

Introduction

This document is developed in reflection of the situation where producers and users experience confusion regarding the test procedures of temperature-controlled transport packages for parcel shipping. Despite the increasing international attention to product safety and quality of cold chain parcel shipping through e-commerce, an International Standard that addresses the variations in the use of proper package testing has been missing. This document should be directly applicable to less developed countries as well as developed countries in terms of cold chain system or temperature-controlled supply chain.

The purpose of this document is to specify the general requirements of temperature-controlled packaging systems for transport packaging during parcel shipping. The packages are delivered under temperature-controlled supply chain on the purpose of controlling products' qualities, safety and services.

In certain circumstances, however, agreements can be made among stakeholders under the conditions, including but not limited to the following:

• a) when products weigh heavily;
• b) when dry ice or possible hazardous materials are present inside the package; or
• c) when there is any specific temperature requirement.

1 Scope

This document specifies the general requirements of transport packaging, especially the containers, which are formed or prepared for the temperature-controlled transport services of parcel shipping. Safety or sanitation is not covered in this document.

This document set outs the general requirements for transport packaging for safe storage and distribution of temperature-sensitive products.
