NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (First Revision) which is identical to ISO 3569 : 1976 'Continuous mechanical handling equipment - Classification of unit loads' issued by International Organization for Standardization (ISO), was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendations of Transport Packages, Packaging Codes and Pallets Sectional Committee and approval of the Transport Engineering Division Council.

This standard was first published in 1976. This revision is brought out to align it with the latest version of ISO 3569 : 1976. The title of IS 8005 has also been aligned with ISO 3569 : 1976.

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 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.
