About This Item

 

Full Description

BS 1133-8:2011+A1:2016 provides guidance for manufacturers, users and specifiers of wooden boxes, cases and crates for industrial, defence and other commercial applications.

This document contains guidance on wood species, sheet materials and fastenings likely to be encountered by UK manufacturers or export packers and gives guidance on the design of:
  • industrial, defence and commercial cases and crates;
  • ranges of smaller sawn wood boxes for general use;
  • ranges of plywood and wood-based sheet boxes and cases;
  • plywood cases of metal edge construction;
  • wirebound boxes, crates and cases;
  • warehouse storage containers.
This British Standard also gives brief guidance on sustainability and recycling.

Annex A contains health and safety information.

Annex B contains tables of sizes for skids sills and rails.

NOTE 1 Knowledge of engineering principles is needed to produce a design specification from the information given in certain tables, particularly in relation to large cases and crates.

NOTE 2 Much of the information in this British Standard might also be of value in other areas where wood is used in packaging and distribution, e.g. agricultural boxes and pallets.
