EUMOS standard becomes law: stricter rules for pallet loads

With the new law that came into force in May, packing goods securely to avoid cargo losses and product damage during transport is more important than ever. As an expert in end-of-line (EOL) packaging solutions, Coeman Packaging is delighted to help you optimise your cargo security and TCO.

What is the new law and what does it mean for you?

To drastically reduce the number of cases of cargo loss on Europe’s roads, a new EU directive on securing cargos was adopted in 2014. This directive puts stringent demands for the transport of goods on pallets within the EU based on standards issued by EUMOS and no longer holds the hauler liable for cargo losses and product damage. The client is responsible for ensuring its goods are appropriately packaged for a safe and secure journey. Anyone who fails to follow the rules is liable to big fines. In May 2018 the directive was enacted into national law in Belgium.

Use of customized packaging solutions

Haulers who transport pallets should use packaging machines and materials that ensure their cargo remains safe and sound during the journey. With our extensive knowledge and long-standing experience, we are well placed to give you the very best advice. Whatever your industry, Coeman Packaging offers a slew of technical films and other materials, including strapping belts and PET band, to help you package your goods in an efficient, sustainable and safe way, in accordance with the new law and with the ultimate aim of maximising cargo safety.

We also have an extensive range of machines of leading European manufacturers (including pallet wrappers, box closers, band machines and shrink film machines) to ensure you apply the appropriate packaging procedures in accordance with the law. We can identify the procedure that suits you best through a test set-up (on your premises if you wish). Here, again, our packaging experts target the lowest possible TCO. We can also conduct specific cargo security tests in accordance with your specs, in-house or at our specialised partner, to identify ways to ensure your pallets always comply with the law. But that’s not all, because Coeman Packaging helps you keep proper records (such as certificates, waybills and hauler documents). One of our packaging specialists and our EUMOS expert will visit you and make specific recommendations to ensure you are in compliance.

What’s in it for you: safer cargos, lower costs

You gain a lot when you use the proper packaging machines and materials. You not only avoid hefty fines, you also reduce the risk of product loss, damaged or rejected products, and unnecessary production stoppages. And you shrink your ecological footprint. Because we constantly examine ways to significantly reduce the amount of packaging needed. Our EOL packaging solutions ensure your cargo is transported safely and optimally depending on what it is (such as food transport, refrigerated storage, irregularly shaped cargos or sharp edges), while also keeping your TCO as low as possible.
