IS 6219 : 1989 Methods of Test for General Purpose Flat Pallets for Through Transit of Goods

1 Scope

1.1 This standard specifies methods of test for general purposeflat pallets for through transit of goods. The tests areprincipally intended for the evaluation of existing pallets or ofnew design of pallets in relation to their designed load capacity.

Note - The tests may also be of value in

a) testing individual pallet components;

b) development of prototype pallets;

c) research into basic pallet performance (though these testsare not as compre hensive as most research tests require);

d) evaluation of pallets for in-use-failure situations; and

e) testing at point of manufacture (unconditioned).
