• Each load unit must have a unique barcode (minimum height 31.75 mm according to GS1) and must be attached to one of the short sides of the pallet.

• Labels with barcodes must show the correct name of the sender and the recipient.

• All goods must be adequately secured against damage and lost during transport and handling and should not pose any danger to the employee when the protective film is removed.
