This Technical Report specifies recommended levels of performance for pallets tested in accordance with ISO 8611. It applies to general-purpose flat pallets intended for through transit of goods.
The performance levels recommended relate to two grades of pallets:
— Grade N ("normal") is a minimum requirement suitable for a large number of pallets in through transit;
— Grade S ("special") is a minimum requirement suitable for a large number of pallets, for example two-way pallets, partial four-way pallets, in through transit.
Annex A gives a tabular summary of the recommended performance levels in relation to the methods of test specified in ISO 8611.
