Describes the principal dimensions and tolerances for new single-deck and doubledeck, reversible and non-reversible flat pallets, of all entry types and made of any material, related to their transportation and handling by pallet trucks, fork-lift trucks and other appropriate equipment.

This International Standard specifies the principal dimensions and tolerances for new single-deck and double-deck, reversible and non-reversible flat pallets, of all entry types and made of any material, related to their transportation and handling by pallet trucks, fork-lift trucks and other appropriate equipment.

The requirements for features such as openings, clearances, chamfers and wings that are required for efficient handling are also included.

The applicability of this International Standard to reversible pallets can be affected by their use in field conditions.
