What is ISO 22982‑1 about?
When goods need to be kept at controlled temperatures, packaging them for transport becomes challenging. ISO 22982‑1 addresses this challenge by providing guidelines on packaging temperature-controlled goods for transport.
ISO 22982 discusses transport packaging, and ISO 22982‑1 specifies the general requirements of transport packaging, especially the containers, which are formed or prepared for temperature-controlled transport services of parcel shipping.
Note 1: Safety or sanitation is not covered in ISO 22982‑1.
Note 2: ISO 22982‑1 sets out the general requirements for transport packaging for safe storage and distribution of temperature-sensitive products.
Who is ISO 22982‑1 for?
ISO 22982‑1 on the transport packaging of temperature-controlled goods is useful for:
- Manufacturers of temperature-controlled products
- Manufacturers and suppliers of packaging materials
- Package handlers
Why should you use ISO 22982‑1?
ISO 22982- 1 provides the general requirements of temperature-controlled packaging systems for transport packaging during parcel shipping. The packages are delivered under a temperature-controlled supply chain for the purpose of controlling products' qualities, safety, and services.
ISO 22982‑1 is directly applicable to developed countries in terms of cold chain systems or temperature-controlled supply chains.
