BS ISO 19709-1:2016 pdf download.Transport packaging — Small load container systems — Part 1: Common requirements and test methods
1 Scope
This document specifies the essential characteristics and the common requirements and test methods for SLC systems used in the handling, transport and storage for the automotive industry. The application of such systems is described in Annex B. These containers are based on the modular area 600 mm × 400 mm, 550 mm × 366 mm and 600 mm × 500 mm and subdivisions according to ISO 3394 and ISO 3676. This document is designed to be read in conjunction with the particular part which specifies the chosen system.

3.1 ends
two shortest vertical walls of an SLC (3.5)
3.2 nominal load
recommended maximum mass of container contents, lowest safe load value for the specified support conditions, independent of the type of load (excluding concentrated loads)
[SOURCE: ISO 445:2013, 2.2, modified, “recommended maximum mass of container contents” added,Note 1 and Note 2 removed.]
3.3 nominal stacking load
recommended maximum mass applied to the top of the lowest SLC (3.5) in a stack
3.4 sides
two longest vertical walls of an SLC (3.5)
3.5 small load container
SLC
open-topped durable, reusable, rigid, rectangular modular container which can be handled manually and/or mechanically and is the central element of a SLC system
3.6 system
entity consisting of interdependent components
[SOURCE: ISO 3676:2012, 3.2]
4 Module capacity
These SLC systems are based on the area module 600 mm × 400 mm according to ISO 3394. They shall be compatible with the international standardized unit load sizes 1 200 mm × 800 mm and/or 1 200 mm × 1 000 mm according to ISO 3676.
NOTE The SLC patterns identified for 1 000 × 1 200 will also be accommodated by a 1 016 × 1 219 pallet (North American standard GMA size). The ideal pallet size to transport the containers with an area module of 550 mm × 366 mm is 1 100 mm × 1 100 mm.
The plan view dimensions of the system elements specified shall be subdivisions or multiples of the area module with the following nominal sizes, for example:
— 300 mm × 200 mm, 400 mm × 300 mm, 600 mm × 400 mm;
— 550 mm × 366 mm, 366 mm × 275 mm, 366 mm × 183 mm;
— 600 mm × 500 mm, 500 mm × 300 mm, 300 mm × 250 mm.
Carrying handles and label frames are separated. Exceptions are BSS-SLC and CSS-SLC with height 147,5 mm, for which the label frame on the end face is integrated in the carrying handle.
