What is BS EN 16210 - Transportation load measurements data acquisition about?
BS EN 16210 focuses on the measurement and evaluation of climatic and other transportation loads and data acquisition requirements for measuring equipment.
BS EN 16210 specifies the documentation of measurements for climatic and other loads (such as sunlight, sand, dust and electromagnetic radiation) during transport, handling and storage. BS EN 16210 describes and characterises adequate form the magnitude of the transportation loads.
BS EN 16210 obtains a significant meaning in order to fulfil the requirements of the European Directive on Packaging and Packaging Waste. These requirements ask for avoidance or reduction of packaging waste, and that the required amount of packaging material be tuned to the expected transportation load, in order to protect the transported item adequately.
Who is BS EN 16210 - Transportation load measurements data acquisition for?
BS EN 16210 on transportation load measurements data acquisition is useful for:
- Load Transporation authorities
- The transportation industry
- Goods packaging and distribution companies
- The cargo industry
- Transportation data management team
Why should you use BS EN 16210 - Transportation load measurements data acquisition?
The data transportation means contain a technical description of the transportation means and their actual condition. These data contain information concerning the goods being transported, load factor, location of load gravity centre and method of restraint.
Measurement of climatic and other transportation loads is performed in the cargo compartment (e.g., container) in which the goods are being transported and as near as possible to the transported goods. Climatic and other loads will be captured and recorded in an unbiased form as source data without immediate processing.
BS EN 16210 covers the concept to acquire and describe climatic and other loads, which can occur and affect goods during transport, handling and storage. BS EN 16210 gives guidance for the preparation and execution of measurement and evaluation of climatic and other loads.
BS EN 16210 guidelines help you to measure and analyse climatic and other transportation loads, thus allowing standardised and adequately documented load values to be produced.
