6.5.2 Transport conditions
During transport the Tecnotion packaging should be used. The maxi-
mum magnetic field strength is regulated by most airlines and freight
carriers. The limits are standardized by the ICAO (International Civil
Aviation Organization) IATA (International Air Transport Association)
guidelines. The magnetic field of every Tecnotion package is below
the upper limit of 5.25 mG at a distance of 4.6 m. Also stacking of 4
products, which is the maximum stacking height, will not generate a
magnetic field larger than that limit. Therefore, no additional mea-
sures need to be taken with regards to air freight. For all other means
of transportation, no additional measures need to be taken regarding
magnetic stray field risks other than those regarding general health
and safety.
Tecnotion products have a primary package that sits directly around
the product. Tecnotion primary product package is intended only as
product packaging. Its main function is to:
■
pack the product and required documentation;
■
identify the product type and serial number;
■
inform about important safety advice if required;
■
inform about important transportation and storage advice;
■
safeguard product functionality during transportation and
storage.
For transportation the product and primary package will be placed
into a secondary package or even a tertiary package. (Usually an 800
× 1200 mm Euro-pallet). The type and size of this package depends on
the size of the order to be shipped. Typically, the remaining volume in
the secondary and tertiary packages will be filled with Instapak.
The primary package is intended for storage in a warehouse and effi-
cient packing in a secondary or tertiary package. The primary packag-
ing itself is not suited as a transportation package. The mentioned
ambient transportation conditions in below are for the primary prod-
uct package contained in a secondary cardboard package.
Furthermore, the following conditions according to IEC 60721-3-2
apply.

2K11
■
Applies to weather-protected transportation with limited
temperature control and no humidity control.
■
5 – 40°C.
■
5 – 85% relative humidity.
■
No condensation.

2B1
■
Applies to transportation in areas without risks from
mould growth and attack by animals, or in compartments with
environmental controls in place to prevent mould growth and
attack by animals.
■
2C2
■
Applies to transportation and handling in areas with
normal levels of contaminants as experienced in urban areas
with industrial activity scattered over the whole area, or with
heavy traffic. This includes transportation in areas where salt mist
is present including maritime transport of containers but not
transport on open decks of ships.

■
Applies to transportation and handling with limited
precautions to minimize the presence of dust and sand such as
enclosed transport.
