NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (First Revision) which is identical with ISO 3676 : 2012 ‘Packaging — Complete, filled transport packages and unit loads — Unit load dimensions’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Transport Packages, Packaging Codes, Freight Containers and Pallets Sectional Committee and approval of the Transport Engineering Division Council.

This Indian Standard was originally published in 1995 as adoption of ISO 3676 : 1983. The first revision of this standard has been undertaken to align it with the latest version of ISO 3676 : 2012.

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standard. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
