1.1 本指南提供了有效管理仓库设施和仓库内容（统称为“仓储资产”）的战略考虑因素。 1.2 本指南不覆盖或增加特定于政府机构的要求。在可行的最大程度上，这些实体应考虑本标准中的指导，以提高效率。 1.3 以英寸-磅为单位的数值应视为标准值。本标准不包括其他计量单位。 1.4 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.5 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 5.1 本指南提供了管理仓库和仓库内容的注意事项。 5.2 本指南的中心目标是确保仓储活动适当地有助于实体的使命。 5.3 衡量和管理实体仓储活动的有效性应导致仓储资产的持续有用性，降低行政成本，改善问责制，提高运营绩效。 5.4 本指南对实际仓库设施（也称为“不动产”）和仓库内容（也称为“个人财产”、“动产”、“产品”或将仓库内容与仓库本身的物理结构区分开来的类似术语）进行了区分。必须协调对仓储功能这两个方面的考虑，以实现有效的仓储活动。

1.1 This guide provides strategic considerations for effectively managing warehouse facilities and the contents of warehouses (collectively “warehousing assets”). 1.2 This guide does not override or increase requirements specific to governmental authorities. To the greatest extent practicable, the guidance in this standard should be considered by these entities where efficiencies may be gained. 1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 5.1 This guide provides the considerations for the management of warehouses and warehouse contents. 5.2 The central objective of this guide is to ensure that warehousing activities appropriately contribute to the mission of the entity. 5.3 Measuring and managing the effectiveness of an entities’ warehousing activities should result in sustained usefulness of warehoused assets, reduced administrative costs, improved accountability, and enhanced operational performance. 5.4 This guide makes a differentiation between the physical warehouse facility (also called “Real Property”) and the contents of the warehouse (also called “Personal Property,” “moveable asset,” “product,” or similar term that differentiates the contents of the warehouse from the physical structure of the warehouse itself). Considerations of both these aspects of the warehousing function must be coordinated to lead to effective warehousing activities.
