Standard specification for shipping packaging
In international trade, shipping packaging needs to comply with some international standards and specifications to ensure the adaptability and quality of the packaging. The following are some common shipping packaging standard specifications:
1.ISPM 15 standard
The ISPM 15 standard is an important specification developed by the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) to prevent and control the spread of pests in wood packaging materials. The standard requires that wooden packaging materials must be heat treated or re-steamed to ensure that pests and pathogens in them are killed and prevented from spreading during transportation.
2. Ship stability specifications
In order to ensure the stability and safety of cargo during sea transportation, ship stability regulations stipulate the appropriate method of stowing and securing cargo on board ships. These regulations require that cargo must be securely stowed and secured on ships to prevent it from sliding or tipping over in waves.
3. Packaging markings and quality labels
Shipping packaging also needs to be marked and labeled according to the requirements of international trade. These marks and labels often include information such as the weight, dimensions, destination, etc. of the shipment so that shipping companies and customs can handle and classify it correctly. In addition, quality labels can also help identify and check whether goods meet the required quality standards.
4. Applicable packaging materials
During the shipping packaging process, it is also very important to choose appropriate packaging materials. Commonly used shipping packaging materials include wooden boxes, cartons, plastic packaging, metal packaging, etc. Different goods require different packaging materials and methods to ensure their safety and integrity during maritime transportation.
