General packaging requirements

In order to ensure delivery of parts in acceptable condition, compliance with the following points is absolutely essential:

  • The parts must be free from all contamination. There must be no contact with uncoated corrugated or solid board or with filling materials.
  • The main packaging (container, carton) and any additional basic packaging (film, film bag, tubes, formed  inserts, etc) must ensure protection of the parts against:
    - Mechanical damage (e.g. deformation, impact points) and

  • The dispatch packaging must adequately secure the containers or cartons during transport and handling.

*(Background: Following the attacks of 11th September 2001, laws and regulations were enacted by the US, United Nations and European Union to fight back against international terrorism. By the use of these laws money, property holdings and other economic resources of terrorists and terror organisations shall be dispossessed. Companies are obligated to prevent the establishment or maintenance of direct or indirect business contacts with terror organisations and their associated institutions and individuals. In compliance to these measures, continuously changing name lists of respective people and organisations, so-called “anti-terrorism-lists”, have been and being released. These lists are obligatory. The ones who do not abide by these lists infringe the foreign trade law and have to face various juristic consequences.)
