Climatic conditions likely to be encountered by packages, worldwide, aboard ship, in aircraft, in road or rail vehicles and during storage. Protection needed by goods. Four appendices; ventilation of cargoes at sea; bibliography; note on average monthly maximum and minimum air temperatures; deterioration index.

This Part of this guide provides selected information about the climatic conditions likely to be encountered by packages in different areas of the world, and as modified aboard ship, in aircraft, in road or rail vehicles, and during storage. It describes the bearing which these conditions may have on the protection needed by goods in transit to or through these areas. Generalized advice is given about measures to be taken to control the insulation and ventilation in a ship’s hold.

Appendix A gives some information on the ventilation of ships’ cargoes. Appendix B gives a bibliography of some publications that may be of interest to those concerned with a more detailed study of climatic hazards in general or of the particular problems of certain special kinds of cargo.

All references to Figures in this Part of this guide relate to the maps and diagrams in Part 21).

NOTE Guidance on packaging problems generally is given in BS 1133, “Packaging code??. Section 5, “Protection against spoilage of packages and their contents by micro-organisms, insects, mites and rodents??, and Section 6, “Temporary protection of metal surfaces against corrosion (during transport and storage)??, are of special relevance to this Part of this guide.
