This part of IEC 60721 classifies the groups of environmental parameters and their severities to which a product is subjected while being transported and handled. The most commonly used methods of transportation and handling have been taken into account, including the following: – road transport: cars, trucks; – rail transport: trains, trams; – water transport, inland and maritime: ships; – air transport: aircraft, jet, propeller, helicopter; – handling equipment: cranes, transport lifts, cableways, persons; – conveyors; – hand trollies. The environmental conditions specified in this document are those that the product can be exposed to while transported and handled.
