  3. ranges of plywood and wood-based sheet boxes and cases;

  6. warehouse storage containers.

This British Standard also gives brief guidance on sustainability and recycling.Annex A contains health and safety information.

Annex B contains tables of sizes for skids sills and rails.

NOTE 1 Knowledge of engineering principles is needed to produce a design specification from the information given in certain tables, particularly in relation to large cases and crates.
