Pallets for materials handling - Flat pallets - Part 1 : test methods
ISO 8611-1:2011 specifies the test methods available for evaluating new flat pallets for materials handling.The test methods are split into groups for nominal load testing, maximum working load testing and durability comparison testing.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.

ISO 8611-1:2004 specifies test methods of existing and prototype flat pallets for materials handling for all types of use It cannot be used to evaluate a pallet to normative ISO requirements without the additional application of ISO/TS 8611-2 and ISO/TS 8611-3.
This document specifies the test methods available for evaluating new flat pallets for materials handling. The test methods are split into groups for: ? nominal load testing; ? maximum working load testing; ? durability comparison testing. This document does not 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. NOTE Specific tests for determining load capacity do not replace the value of conducting field tests on specific pallet designs.
The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!

- With a single click, add a new language, the Requirements or Redline+ service and add one or more additional users.
