Packaging, transport and storage
Packaging
Purpose
The packaging is designed to protect the packaged goods during transport,
loading and unloading as well as periods of storage in such a way that no
(detrimental) changes occur. The packaging must protect the goods against
permitted transport stresses such as vibration, knocks and moisture (rain,
snow, condensation).
The packaging also prevents the packaged goods from moving impermissi-
bly within the packaging. The packaged goods must be prepared for ship-
ment before actually being packed so that the goods can be transported
safely, economically and in accordance with regulations.
Suitability, structure and production
The goods are packaged in a sturdy cardboard box. This ensures that the
shipment is secure when in the intended transportation position and that
none of its parts touch the loading surface of the means of transport or touch
the ground after unloading.
The box is designed for a maximum load of 10 kg.
Inlays inside the box stabilize the goods, preventing impermissible changes
of position, and protect them from vibration.
Markings
The packaging bears a signature with instructions for safe transport and cor-
rect storage. The following symbols apply to the shipment of non-hazardous
goods. Adherence to these symbols is mandatory.

Transportation, receipt and handling of shipments
In addition to oscillation stress and shock stress, jolts must also be expected
during transportation. In order to prevent possible damage, avoid dropping,
tipping, knocking over and colliding with the product.
