The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through isO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, govern- mental and non-governmental, in liaison with iso, also take part in the work. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by the ISo Council. They are approved in accordance with ISO procedures requiring at least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting. International Standard ISO 2206 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 122, Packaging. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (IS0 2206 : 1972), sub-clause 2.3 of which has been technically revised. Users should note that all International Standards undergo revision from time to time and that any reference made herein to any other International Standard implies its latest edition, unless otherwise stated.

Each corner shall be identified by the digits designating the three surfaces that meet to form this corner (e.g. 1-2-5 iden- tifies the corner where the upper surface, the right-hand side 2 Identification of parts of packages and the side nearest to the observer meet). 2.2 Cylindrical packages 2.1 Parallelepipedal packages The package shall be placed in the position in which it is The ends of two perpendicular diameters on the upper surface intended to be transported. If the transport position is not of the cylinder shall be designated as 1-3-5-7 and the other ends known, the manufacturer's joint, if it exists, shall be placed of lines parallef to the cylinder axis passing through these points respectively shalt be designated as 2-4-6-8. Each of these lines vertically on the observer's right. shall be designated as 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8. (See figure 2.) When the package is so placed with one side facing the observer, the upper surface of the package shall be identified as NoTE --- if the package has one or more manufacturer's joints, one of the joints should occupy the position 5-6. The remaining designations No. 1, the side on the observer's right as No. 2, the bottom as should then be made on the same principle as outlined above. No. 3, the surface on the observer's left as No. 4, the nearest side as No. 5 and the side farthest away as No. 6 (see figure 1). 5 NOTE - If the package has more than one manufacturer's joint, the principle outlined above should be adopted by arbitrarily selecting one side as No. 5. 900 6: 5 2 8 Figure 1 Figure 2 1 Copyright International Organization for Standardization without license from IH
