间接、温度控制的冷藏运输服务 冷藏包裹的陆路运输 中间转运 规格
BS PAS 1018:2017 specifies requirements for the provision
and operation of indirect, temperature-controlled
refrigerated delivery services for refrigerated parcels
(which might contain temperature-sensitive goods)
in land transport refrigerated vehicles. It includes all
refrigerated delivery service stages from acceptance
(receipt) of a chilled or frozen parcel from the delivery
service user, through to its delivery at the designated
destination, including intermediate transfer of the
refrigerated parcels between refrigerated vehicles
and via a geographical routing system. This PAS also
includes requirements for resources, operations and
communications to delivery service users. It is intended
for application by refrigerated delivery service
providers.PAS 1018 does not cover requirements for refrigerated
parcel delivery via modes of transport such as
airplane, ship or train. It also does not cover separate
requirements for refrigerated parcels that may be
transported in ambient temperatures due to the fact
that they contain their own refrigeration materials
(e.g. ice packs, refrigerated foam bricks, dry ice
blocks) and are surrounded and enclosed by sealed
thermoprotective packaging that creates a separate
refrigerated climate to that provided within the
delivery service. However, these types of refrigerated
parcels may be transported through a refrigerated
delivery service.This PAS does not cover direct refrigerated courier
services in which chilled parcels and frozen parcels are
collected from the delivery service user and transported
directly to a recipient without in-transit transfer. It does
not cover requirements for the quality or specifically
for measuring the temperature of the contents of
the chilled parcels or frozen parcels being delivered
and their pre-point of receipt state, but does set the
requirements for the refrigerated delivery service
carrying them. It also does not cover the transport of
medical devices and medical equipment.All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
