NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard which is identical to ISO 31511 : 2024 'Requirements for contactless delivery services in cold chain logistics' issued by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Cold Chain Logistics Sectional Committee had been approved by the Service Sector Division Council.

Contactless delivery services reduce direct face-to-face contact between personnel in logistics. Contactless delivery services are useful for people who require such services but worry about the spread of infection and foodborne illness.

This standard provides requirements for contactless delivery services in cold chain logistics to avoid face-to-face contact, effectively prevent and control the spread of virus infection, and protect the health of consumers.

The text of ISO standard may be approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. 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'; and

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.
