ISO 8611-2:2011
Pallets for materials handling — Flat pallets — Part 2: Performance requirements and selection of tests
ISO 8611-2:2011 specifies the performance requirements to establish nominal loads for new flat pallets.
It also specifies the tests required for new flat pallets in various handling environments and the performance requirements for tests with payloads. It is not intended to apply to pallets with a fixed superstructure or a rigid, self-supporting container that can be mechanically attached to the pallet and which contributes to the strength of the pallet.
