1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF APPLICATION

This standard applies to shipping and export packaging for pumps, decoking units and their respective spare
parts.

NOTE 1: Any special requirements can be set out in an order-specific procedure. The order-specific
procedure can refer back to this specification.

NOTE 2: This work order may be applied to other types of packaging and goods.

The values and load assumptions set out below represent indicative values and are not to be construed as
having universal applicability. They assume exposure to normal stresses throughout the transport chain,
meaning conditions encountered during transport by sea, air or overland given proper handling, storage and
cargo securing. Even the use of packaging that can withstand these stresses does not release the persons
involved in the logistics chain from their duty of care in handling the goods.

The technical design of wooden packaging is based on the following documentation:

 HPE Packaging Guidelines (Bundesverband Holzpackmittel - Paletten - Exportverpackung

(HPSE) e.V.
 ANSI/API 610 / ISO 13709 Centrifugal pumps for the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas
industries (short: API).

To warrant proper packaging, it is imperative that the customer of RUHRPUMPEN furnishes the following
information within due time:

 Modes of transport involved (truck, rail, ship, plane).

 Type of transport, conventional or container FCL / LCL.
 Routing and schedule.
 Storage location, storage duration.
 Temperatures and climate conditions (precipitation, humidity, exposure to light and UV, etc.)
expected during storage.
 Agreements on corrosion prevention.

2. CONSERVATION MEASURES
The packaged goods are subject to intense stresses during transport, handling and storage -
particularly during overseas transport - for which the factory is responsible to provide protection
against corrosion. Specific anticorrosion measure employed by the factory must be set out as a
separate set of instructions.

None not to be stored without additional provisions

Table 1 Storage and Conservation Types

3. PACKAGING CATEGORIES
This standard contains specifications for the packaging categories of pumps, decoking units and
their spare parts. These packaging categories serve the purpose of identifying the correct
packaging to be used for properly transporting the goods.

The packaging categories are composed of the combination of the packaging groups and
packaging code numbers. Based on the storage term and the customer required storage terms,
you can determine the appropriate packaging method. Please refer to following table:

3.1 USE OF PACKAGING FOR CORROSION PROTECTION

Three methods are available for protecting packaged goods from corrosion:

 Desiccant
 Protective coating
 VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor)
Further details are set out in the packaging guideline of the Bundesverband Holzpackmittel, Paletten,
Exportverpackung (HPE) e.V. (HPE).

The factory’s anticorrosion measures to conserve the packaged goods must be appropriate for the
respective duration of storage.

3.2 PACKAGING FILMS

For packaging purposes, two different types of film can be used:

1. Polyethylene films (PE films).

 PE films, according to DIN 55530, ASTM D 2103 or approved equivalent, are made of low
density polyethylene (PE-LD).
 These films are used in conditions ranging from -20°C (-4°F) to a maximum of 40°C (104°F).
2. Laminated Aluminum film according to DIN 55531 – 1 or approved equivalent.
 This type of film is made from three (3) layers of different materials, specifically (12 µ PET / 12 µ
Alu / 75 µ PE).
 The laminated aluminum film is impermeable to water and gases.
 This film is used in conditions ranging from -35°C (-31°F) to a maximum of 70°C (158°F).

3.3 HUMIDITY INDICATORS

Humidity indicators are predominantly used for prolonged storage in combination with the desiccant method.
They change color to indicate if the relative humidity within the sealed packaging has exceeded a permitted
threshold.

Humidity indicators are calibrated at a temperature of 20°C (68°F).

Humidity indicators are a simple and cheap solution, their measurement accuracy is however not on par
with expensive electronic equipment. Their permissible tolerance is of +/- 5% relative humidity at a test
temperature of 20°C (+/- 2°C) [68°F (+/- 3.6°F)]. When exporting to areas with extreme climate conditions, it
must be taken into account that the indicator’s color will take longer to change at temperatures warmer than
20°C (68°F) and will take less time to change color at temperatures colder than 20°C (68°F). The deviation is
approximately of +/- 2.5% relative humidity per 5°C (41°F) above/below 20°C (68°F).

For prolonged storage, it is recommended that the boxes be stored in an enclosed and covered warehouse.

After six (6) months, the humidity indicator must be inspected on a monthly basis.

A visual inspection may be performed via a viewing window (installed in a box), which is accessible by
opening the metal lid.

The color of the humidity indicator changes once the humidity has reached 40%. This is an indication that
the desiccant contained in the package must be replaced.

5.2 IPPC STANDARD

Export packaging whose destination is outside the originating country must comply with the requirements of
the IPPC standard (International Plant Protection Conventions) ISPM 15.

The wood used for ISPM 15 must be heat-treated.

Wooden packaging is designated as ISPM 15-compliant as per the statutory requirements, consisting of:

 IPPC logo.
 Country code as per ISO 3166 (i.e. “DE” for Germany).
 Registration number of the company performing the treatment (including. region / federal state).
 Treatment method (i.e. HT [heat treatment] or MB [methyl bromide]).
NOTE: In general, RUHRPUMPEN does not use the methyl bromide (MB) treatment method. If required,
check with the appropriate LOGISTICS or PACKAGING department.

5.2.1 Labeling
The labelling of ISPM 15-compliant wooden packaging must generally correspond to the following layout
(incl. frame and dividing line). The information may be contained in a single or multiple lines.

Figure 5.1 Example of a ISPM 15 compliant wooden packaging label.

NOTE: 0000 is the registration number including region / federal state. HT stands for “Heat Treatment”.

5.3 EDGE PROTECTION FOR BOXES

For loads of more than 5 tons (11,023 lbs), a metal edge protector will be fitted at the longitudinal skids as
well as on the upper edges of the box.

6. MARKING AND PACKING LIST

6.1 MARKINGS
Markings are usually specified by the customer. If no marking is specified, it may be affixed according to DIN
55402 T2 or equivalent.

A compliant marking must include the following information:

 Shipping mark
 Information mark

The shipping mark must include the following information:

 Identification mark including consignee or consignor.

 Identification number including order number.
 Address including place and port of destination.

The information mark must include the following information:

 Origin details.
 Weight (mandatory for packages whose gross weight is of 1,000 kg [2,204.62 lbs] or more).
 Dimensions (L x W x H in cm or in).

On wooden boxes, the marking must be affixed on at least two adjacent sides of the package and easily
readable from a distance of 5 feet or 1.5 meters.

The surface bearing the marking must warrant satisfactory and consistent legibility. The information on the
markings must correspond with the information contained on the shipping documents.

Further details are set out in chapter “Markierungen” of the packaging guideline of the Bundesverband
Holzpackmittel, Paletten, Exportverpackung (HPE) e.V. (HPE).

Figure 6.1 Example of a correctly marked wooden crate.

When marking smaller packages (i.e. small plywood boxes, cartons / carton boxes on wooden pallets or
similar) the marking must be printed on a DIN-A4 size (or letter size) paper, laminated in transparent film and
affixed to the exterior of the package.

6.2 PACKING LISTS

Packing lists are prepared by RUHRPUMPEN and contain information on the contents of the package,
including:

 Quantity of packaged materials.

 Description of materials.
 Weights.
 Details regarding markings, etc.

As a general rule, packing lists are attached to the exterior of the package. There might be some cases
where the packing list is sent by another means (i.e. courier, electronically, etc.). The package list will,
depending on the duration of transport and/or storage and the expected exterior conditions, be enclosed in a
weatherproof sleeve or affixed underneath a metal plate bearing the designation “PACKING LIST” or
alternatively in the appropriate local language.

7. STANDARDIZED MARKING SYMBOLS (PURSUANT TO HPE, APPENDIX 1)

DESIGNATION SYMBOL EXPLANATION

The symbol should be applied to fragile cargo. Cargos

Fragile, Handle with Care marked with this symbol should be handled carefully and
should never be tipped over or slung.

Any other type of point load should also be avoided with

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

The package must be transported, handled and stored

with the arrows point upwards at all times. Rolling,
This Way Up swinging, severe tipping, tumbling or other ways of
handling must be avoided. The cargo does however not
necessarily have to be stored "on top".

Compliance with this symbol is best achieved if the cargo

is kept under the coolest possible conditions. It must in
any event be protected against additional sources of
heat. It may be appropriate to enquire whether the
Keep Away from Heat prevailing or anticipated temperatures may be harmful.
This label should also be used to prevent losses for
goods such as, for example, butter and chocolate, where
common knowledge dictates that they should not be
exposed to heat.

This symbol only indicates where the cargo should be

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

DESIGNATION SYMBOL EXPLANATION

Goods marked this way must be protected from

excessive humidity and must therefore be stored under
Keep Dry 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 symbol should only be used when the center of
Center of Gravity
gravity is not located in the precise central position of the
package. This symbol must be affixed on two upright
surfaces at right angles to each other.

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

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

A note stating that the package may be clamped at the

Clamp Here indicated point means that clamping at any other location
is prohibited.

According to regulations, the symbol must be followed by

the suffix "...°C" for a specific temperature or, in the case
of a temperature range, with an upper ("...°C max.") and
Temperature Limitations
lower ("...°C min.") temperature limit. The corresponding
temperatures or temperature limits should also be noted
on the consignment note.

This symbol should only be applied to the sides

prohibited from being lifted with a forklift. Absence of the
Do Not Use Forklift Truck symbol on other sides of the package means that it is
Here permitted to use forklift trucks on these sides.
