Abstract / scope
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.
