1、Designation: D 6251/D 6251M 07e1Standard Specification forWood-Cleated Panelboard Shipping Boxes1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 6251/D 6251M; the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last r

2、evision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval. A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.e1NOTESections 4.1.3 and 6.2.3 were editorially corrected in August 2007.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers the fabrication and clos

3、ure ofempty and full wood-cleated, hereafter referred to as wood-cleated, panelboard boxes. These boxes are intended for use ascontainers for domestic and overseas shipment of generalmaterials and supplies, not exceeding 1000 lb 454 kgdepending on box type (see 10.1).1.2 Wood-cleated panelboard ship

4、ping box performance isdependent on its fabricated components and subsequent assem-bly; therefore, a variety of types, classes, styles, and treatmentsreflecting varied performance are specified. This specification,however, does not cover wood-cleated panelboard box perfor-mance under all atmospheric

5、, handling, shipping, and storageconditions.1.3 If the use of other construction methods or techniques isacceptable and permitted (see 5.1.17), the resulting packagingsystems shall be of equal or better performance than wouldresult from the use of these specified materials and procedures.The appropr

6、iate distribution cycle, specified in PracticeD 4169, can be used to develop comparative procedures andcriteria.1.4 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, theSI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in eachsystem a

7、re not exact equivalents; therefore, each system mustbe used independently of the other. Combining values from thetwo systems may result in nonconformance with the standard.See IEEE/ASTM SI 10 for conversion of units.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, as

8、sociated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of the standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
