What is BS EN 15433-5 - Derivation of test specifications for road transportation about?
BS EN 15433 series focuses on the measurement and evaluation of dynamic mechanical transportation loads. BS EN 15433 provides a concept to acquire and describe the loads acting on goods and influencing them during transport, handling, and storage.
BS EN 15433-5 gives guidelines for the derivation of test specifications from data acquired according to EN 15433-2, EN 15433-3 and EN 15433-4. The derivation of test specifications is based fundamentally on considerations concerning the reproduction of damage, whereby time-compressed fatigue simulation in particular has to be considered for the determination of the test intensity.
Who is BS EN 15433-5 - Derivation of test specifications for road transportation for?
BS EN 15433-5 on the derivation of test specifications for road transportation is useful for:
- Load Transporation authorities
- The transportation industry
- Goods packaging and distribution companies
- The cargo industry
- Transportation data management team
- Test laboratories
Why should you use BS EN 15433-5 - Derivation of test specifications for road transportation?
For each derivation of a test condition, the following parameters can have an influence on the derived result such as transportation means, transportation route, duration of transportation, transportation conditions, viewed aspect of the damage, dynamic mechanical particularities, and other boundary conditions.
BS EN 15433-5 describes a possible procedure for the derivation of test spectra for road transportation purposes. The procedure is representative of all transportation types. BS EN 15433-5 discusses the most important steps required to derive a test specification from analysed spectra.
BS EN 15433-5 specifies requirements for the avoidance or reduction of packaging waste and requires that the amount of packaging material is adjusted to the expected transportation load, in order to protect the transportation item adequately.
BS EN 15433-5 enables the measurement and evaluation of dynamic mechanical transportation loads, thus enabling the achievement of standardized and adequately documented load values.
