Packaging - Small Load Carrier Systems - Part 1: Common requirements and test methods

This Part of EN 13199 specifies the essential characteristics and the common requirements and test methods for small load carrier systems used in the handling, transport and storage of non-food products. The application of such systems is described in Annex C. This Part of EN 13199 is to be read in conjunction with the particular Part which specifies the chosen system. This standard is based on performance requirements and thus does not include specific design features. However it includes essential requirements to allow for third-party assessment and certification of the products specified.

Verpackung - Kleinladungsträgersysteme - Teil 1: Allgemeine Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren

Dieser Teil der EN 13199 legt die wesentlichen Kennwerte, die allgemeinen Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren  ür Kleinladungsträgersysteme fest, die bei der Handhabung, dem Transport und der Lagerung von Industrieprodukten ver endet werden. Die Anwendung solch eines Systems ist in Anhang C beschrieben. Dieser Teil der EN 13199 muß zusammen mit dem besonderen Teil, der das gewählte System festlegt, verwendet werden. Diese Norm basiert auf Anforderungen an das Betriebsverhalten und enthält daher keine speziellen Konstruktionsmerkmale. Sie enthält jedoch wesentliche Anforderungen, die die festgelegte Bewertung durch
Drittparteien und Zertifizierung der Produkte zulassen.

Emballage - Systemes de transport de petites charges - Partie 1: Exigences communes et méthodes d'essai

La présente partie de l'EN 13199 prescrit les caractéristiques essentielles, les prescriptions communes et les méthodes d'essai relatives aux systèmes de transport de petites charges utilisés pour la manutention, le transport et le stockage de produits non alimentaires. Des applications de ces systèmes sont décrites dans l'annexe C. La présente partie de l'EN 13199 doit être lue en association avec la partie particulière au système choisi. La présente norme est fondée sur des prescriptions de performances et n'inclut donc pas de caractéristiques de conception particulières. Elle spécifie cependant les prescriptions essentielles nécessaires à l'évaluation de tierces
parties et à la certification des produits spécifiés.

Overview

EN 13199-1:2000 - Packaging: Small Load Carrier Systems - Part 1: Common requirements and test methods (CEN) defines the essential characteristics, common requirements and standardized test methods for small load carrier systems used in the handling, transport and storage of non-food products. This Part is performance-based (does not mandate specific design details) and is intended to be read together with the particular Part that specifies a chosen carrier system. It supports third‑party assessment and certification by defining measurable performance and conformity criteria. National adoptions include formats such as SIST EN 13199-1:2001.

Key Topics

  • Scope and applicability - covers small load carrier systems for non-food products; Annex C describes typical applications.
  • Essential characteristics - defines the attributes that small load carriers must meet to be considered compliant (functionality, durability, safety-related attributes).
  • Common requirements - performance-oriented requirements applicable across different carrier types without prescribing exact designs.
  • Standardized test methods - methods for verifying performance and conformity (specified test procedures rather than bespoke tests).
  • Conformity and certification - criteria to enable independent verification and third‑party certification of products.
  • Performance-based approach - flexibility for manufacturers to innovate while meeting measurable outcomes.

Applications

EN 13199-1:2000 is practical for professionals and organizations involved in the design, production, selection and verification of reusable and single-use small load carriers:

  • Packaging engineers and product designers - to ensure carriers meet performance expectations without fixed design constraints.
  • Manufacturers and suppliers - to develop and demonstrate compliant small load carrier systems for non-food goods.
  • Quality assurance and test laboratories - to apply the specified test methods for routine verification and certification testing.
  • Logistics, warehousing and supply chain managers - to select carriers suitable for handling, transport and storage operations.
  • Procurement and compliance officers - to reference a harmonized standard when specifying supplier requirements.

Typical use cases include cases, boxes and crates used in industrial distribution, automated material handling, warehousing, and multi‑trip logistics for consumer and industrial non-food products.

Related Standards

  • EN 13199 series (this Part should be read in conjunction with the relevant particular Part that specifies a chosen small load carrier system).
  • National adoptions and translations (e.g., SIST EN 13199-1:2001) align local compliance with the CEN standard.
