Document purpose

› These slides are a summary of Ericsson’s general packaging requirements. These requirements are found in full in 1056-CSX 101 58 Uen: “General Requirements for Packaging Material Design”.

› This document is intended to provide Ericsson suppliers with an overview of Ericsson’s packaging requirements for products delivered to Ericsson supply sites (“inbound packaging”).

› It aims to increase awareness of Ericsson’s requirements in order to improve packaging quality and minimize handling needed throughout the entire distribution chain and production process.

› These requirements are intended to ensure that products are protected in a cost-effective way throughout transport, handling and storage, and with minimal impact on the environment.

If you have any questions or need further information about these requirements, please contact: Packaging Material Development

Applicability

› This document applies to the packaging of products delivered to Ericsson supply sites (inbound packaging) and for use as spare parts.

Note: Packaging for components specifically for use in surface mounting production facilities is excluded from these requirements.

› This revision is applicable to all contracts concluded after the revision release date.

› Each Ericsson supply site also has its own specific requirements for inbound packaging. These must always be taken into consideration when designing packaging for a new product/component.

› This document is a summary of and is synchronized with:

1056-CSX 101 58 Revision T

The source document should always be referred to for clarification.
