Site policy: what to establish
Obtain the recipient’s policy for timber, cleanliness and traceability before selecting a base. Some routes can require a specific acceptance process or exclude timber.
The question to answer first
What pallet policy has the pharmaceutical receiver approved?
Record the answer alongside the size and condition of the proposed base. Include any receiver specification, because it can affect the decision before price or quantity is discussed.
| Buying decision | Euro pallets for pharmaceutical sites |
|---|---|
| Main question | What pallet policy has the pharmaceutical receiver approved? |
| Load information | Packed dimensions, total mass and the positions where the load contacts the deck. |
| Site information | Receiving requirements, handling equipment and storage support. |
| Order information | Quantity, delivery postcode and unloading arrangements. |
Apply the decision to a real load
Electrical equipment can include cabinets, panels or boxed assemblies. Check how feet or runners meet the base and how packaging prevents moisture exposure.
A cabinet can be unstable if its centre of gravity and restraint are omitted from the brief. Use the Grade B Euro pallets guide for electrical equipment to relate this question to a specific consignment.
Keep the specification clear
- Describe what is required rather than relying on a short commercial product name.
- Separate confirmed requirements from preferences and unanswered questions.
- Obtain the supplier’s proposed specification and compare it with the receiving policy.
- Confirm suitability, availability and transport arrangements before placing the order.
