Establishes general rules for the compilation of performance test schedules for complete, filled transport packages intended for use within any distribution system, whether transported by road, rail, sea, air or inland waterway, or by a combination of these modes of transport. This part states the general principles entailed in compiling test schedules, and gives the factors to be considered in assessing the criteria of acceptance of such packages after they have been subjected to a package performance test schedule. Technically identical with ISO 4180-1.

This standard establishes general rules to be used for the compilation of performance test schedules for complete, filled transport packages intended for use within any distribution system, whether transported by road, rail, sea, air or inland waterway, or by a combination of these modes of transport.It states the general principles entailed in compiling test schedules.It also gives the factors to be considered in assessing the criteria of acceptance of such packages after they have been subjected to a package performance test schedule.AS 2584.2 incorporates all the quantitative data necessary to establish test intensities and other quantitative features of test schedules.This standard and AS 2584.2 are intended to be read in conjunction with one another.NOTE: For the distribution trials of packages containing dangerous goods the relevant regulations for the transport of dangerous goods by road, rail, sea and air must be followed, i.e.-Australian Code for Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road and Rail International Air Transport Association's Restricted Articles Regulations International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code.
