IS 2662: Materials for Packages - Key Specifications

1. Internal Dimensions of Packages (Clause 4.1, Table 1)

2. Material Specifications

• Packages are typically made from folding box board, uncoated to ensure durability and protection.
• Material must comply with ISI standards for quality and strength suitable for library use.

3. Marking (Clause 6.1.1)

• Packages may bear the ISI Certification Mark ensuring compliance with IS 2662.
• ISI Mark certifies production under strict inspection, testing, and quality control.

4. Units and Conversions (Relevant for Material Testing)

• Length in millimetres (mm)
• Force in newton (N); 1 N = 0.101972 kgf
• Pressure/stress in pascal (Pa); 1 Pa = 1 N/m²

Note: For detailed material strength and durability, refer to IS 1553 and IS 1829 parts I & II for library furniture and fittings, which complement packaging standards.

IS 2662 - Dimensions and Capacity of Library Packages

1. Internal Dimensions (Clause 4.1 & Table 1)

• Tolerance: ±5 mm (Clause 4.2)
• For canvas packages, measure dimensions when fully stretched (Clause 4.1.1).

2. Capacity Notes

• Average book weight: 1 kg
• Maximum book size: 300 mm x 250 mm x 50 mm
• Max books per package:
  • Home delivery: 20 books
  • Transport service: 40 books

3. Volume Calculation (for capacity check)

[ \text{Volume} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Height} \quad (mm^3) ]

Example for Type A:

[ 600 \times 250 \times 500 = 75,000,000 , mm^3 = 75 , liters ]

VolumeB --> CapacityB[Max 40 books]

Use ISI Certification Mark as per Clause 6.1.1 for quality assurance.

This concise info helps in selecting and verifying library package dimensions and capacities per IS 2662.

IS 2662: Design and Construction of Packages for Libraries

Key Specifications:

• Internal Dimensions of Packages (Clause 4.1, Table 1):

• Marking (Clause 6.1.1):
  • Packages may carry the ISI Certification Mark, ensuring compliance with quality and inspection standards.

Design Considerations:

• Packages must prevent damage to books during transit (Clause 3.3).
• Dimensions are standardized for ease of handling and stacking.
• Use of folding box board, uncoated is recommended for construction.

Additional Notes:

• All dimensions in millimeters (mm).
• Rounding off values should follow IS:2-1960.
• Packages facilitate transport and can be used by libraries and other agencies.

This concise summary covers the essential design and construction parameters per IS 2662 for library book packages.

IS 2662 - Marking and Labeling Key Points

Marking Specifications (Clause 6.1 & 6.1.1)

• Mandatory marks on package:
  • Manufacturer's name
  • Size of the package
• Optional mark:
  • ISI Certification Mark (subject to ISI licensing rules)

Package Dimensions (Clause 4.1, Table 1)

Summary:

• Mark packages clearly with manufacturer and size.
• Use ISI mark only if licensed.
• Follow internal dimensions as per usage type.
