ISO 13194:2011 specifies the definitions, principal requirements and test methods for box pallets of all materials. It applies to box pallets, including post pallets and cage pallets, but is not intended to apply to tank and silo pallets as defined in ISO 445. It also applies to box pallets which can be stacked and handled by forklift trucks or pallet trucks, but excludes other lifting devices.
ISO 13194:2011 addresses the performance of the box pallet only, and not its contents.
