5.6 PICTORIAL MARKINGS OF PACKAGES

The following pictorial markings as necessary should be done on the package depending on
the type of equipment to be handled.

Designation Symbol Explanation

Fragile, Handle The symbol should be applied to easily broken cargoes.

with care Cargoes marked with this symbol should be handled carefully
and should never be tipped over or slung.

Any other kind of point load should also be avoided with

Use no hooks cargoes marked with this symbol. The symbol does not
automatically prohibit the use of the plate hooks used for
handling bagged cargo.

The package must always be transported, handled and stored

in such a way that the arrows always point upwards. Rolling,
Top
swinging, severe tipping or tumbling or other such handling
must be avoided. The cargo need not, however, be stored "on
top".

Compliance with the symbol is best achieved if the cargo is

kept under the coolest possible conditions. In any event, it

radiation) temperatures may be harmful. This label should also be used
for goods, such as butter and chocolate, which anybody
knows should not be exposed to heat, in order to prevent
losses.

and radioactive Stowage as for the preceding symbol. The cargo must

The symbol indicates merely where the cargo should be slung,

but not the method of lifting. If the symbols are applied
Sling here equidistant from the middle or center of gravity, the package
will hang level if the slings are of identical length. If this is not
the case, the slinging equipment must be shortened on one
side.

Cargoes bearing this symbol must be protected from
excessive humidity and must accordingly be stored under

cover. If particularly large or bulky packages cannot be stored
in warehouses or sheds, they must be carefully covered with
tarpaulins.

This symbol is intended to provide a clear indication of the

position of the center of gravity. To be meaningful, this
Center of gravity
symbol should only be used where the center of gravity is not
central. The meaning is unambiguous if the symbol is applied
onto two upright surfaces at right angles to each other.

The absence of this symbol on packages amounts to

permission to use a hand truck on them.

The maximum stacking load must be stated as "... kg max.".

Stacking Since such marking is sensible only on packages with little
limitation loading capacity, cargo bearing this symbol should be stowed
in the uppermost layer.

Stating that the package may be clamped at the indicated

Clamp here point is logically equivalent to a prohibition of clamping
anywhere else.

According to regulations, the symbol should either be

provided with the suffix "...°C" for a specific temperature or,

corresponding temperatures or temperature limits should also
be noted on the consignment note.

This symbol should only be applied to the sides where the

sides of the package amounts to permission to use forklift
trucks on these sides.

sensitive device footwear is being worn or the ground/floor is nonconductive.
Low levels of relative humidity must in particular be expected
on hot, dry summer days and very cold winter days.

vapor and contains desiccants for corrosion protection is
located beneath the outer packaging. This protection will be

outer shell must in particular be avoided for any packages
bearing the words "Packed with desiccants".
