The work of developing international Standards js carried out through IsO Technical Committees. Every Member Body interested in a subject for which a Technical Committee has been set up has the right to be represented on that Committee. International organizations, governmental 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. International Standard ISO 3569 was drawn up by Technical Committee IsO/Tc 101, Continuous mechanical handling equipment, and was circulated to the Member Bodies in February 1975. It has been approved by the Member Bodies of the following countries : Austria France South Africa, Rep. of Belgium Germany Spain Bulgaria Sweden Ireland Chile Japan Turkey Denmark Netherlands United Kingdom Finland Romania Yugoslavia The Member Body of the following country expressed disapproval of the on technical grounds : Czechoslovakia International Organization for Standardization, 1976 ional OrganizationforStandardization No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS Not for Resale ISO3569-1976(E) INTERNATIONAL STANDARD 92-695E 2 25h9200 E06T5h Continuous mechanical handling equipment -- Classification of unit loads 1 SCOPE AND FIELD OF APPLICATION 3.1.2 Cylindrical (for example : casks, disks, drums, round bars) This International Standard establishes the ciassification and symbolization of unit loads for continuous mechanical handling. These loads are classified according to their shape, mass, volume, material, base area, physical and chemical properties, sensitivity and other influences. H 2 DEFINITION unit loads : Objects which; when transported, are considered 3.1.3 Pyramidal, conical as units, whatever their shape or mass. It is therefore usuaf to consider also as unit loads : containers or tanks for bulk materials .(liquid or gaseous); cargo units made up with different unit loads (strapped, wrapped or bundled, covered with a shrink-on wrapper, tied down with netting, packed on pallets, etc.); packed bulk materials. 3.1.4 Spherical NOTE - it may be advisable to produce an plan of the cargo unit considered. 3 CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO SHAPE 3.1 Geometric shapes 3.1.1 Parallelepiped, cubic (for example : parcels, cases, 3.2 Typical or usual shapes of loads containers, sheets, bars) 3.2.1 Pallets (special shape of 3.1.1) by IHS Not for Resale ction or networking perm
