1、Designation: D 6573/D 6573M 01 (Reapproved 2007)Standard Specification forGeneral Purpose Wirebound Shipping Boxes1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 6573/D 6573M; the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or, in the case of revision,

2、the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval. A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers the fabrication of new wire-bound general purpose (GP) panelboard (hereafter re

3、ferred toas wirebound boxes) shipping boxes intended for use ascontainers for domestic and overseas shipment of generalmaterials and supplies, not exceeding 500 lb 226.8 kg forclass 1 domestic, 400 lb 181.4 kg for Class 2 overseasshipments or 300 lb 136.0 kg for Class 3 extreme distributionhazard co

4、nditions or military contingency purposes.1.2 Wirebound box performance is dependent on its fabri-cated components; therefore, a variety of types, classes, styles,and treatments reflecting varied performance are specified.This specification does not cover wirebound box performanceunder all atmospher

5、e, handling, shipping, and storage condi-tions. Wirebound boxes in compliance with Hazardous Mate-rial Modal Regulations or United States Code of FederalRegulations (CFRs) are found in the Supplementary Require-ments.1.3 The use of other construction methods or techniques areacceptable and shall be

6、permitted, provided the resultingpackaging systems are of equal or better performance thanwould result from the use of these specified materials andprocedures. The appropriate Practice D 4169 distributioncycle(s) can be used to develop comparative procedures andcriteria.1.4 UnitsThe values stated in

7、 inch-pound units are to beregarded as standard. The SI values given in brackets aremathematical. The values stated in each system are not exactequivalents; therefore, each system must be used indepen-dently of the other. Combining values from the two systemsmay result in non-conformance with the st

8、andard. See IEEE/SI10 for conversion of units.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regul
