Pallet assembly and fastener positions6.2.3.1 GeneralAll fasteners shall be driven in vertically, at a minimum of 20 mm from the edges of the boards, and, for particleboard blocks, a minimum of 20 mm from the centre hole if present. Fasteners shall not be inserted parallel to thewood grain (which may split the board or block), and shall be spaced as far apart as possible. Nail heads shall notprotrude above the surface of the board (this also applies after drying the pallet), or be sunk below the boardsurface by more than 3 mm. Fasteners shall not pierce the sides of blocks.No splits resulting from nailing shall be visible on the blocks or boards after assembly.6.2.3.2 Assembly deck board: blockFor each block, a minimum of three nails shall be used on both the top and bottom surfaces.The bottom deck length board of the perimeter base pallet shall be fixed to the outer blocks with two nails.6.2.3.3 Assembly top deck board: stringer boardA minimum of three fasteners shall be used for fixing each intermediate top deck board to a stringer board.Any fastener protruding below the stringer board shall be bent back.NOTEA staple is considered to be a single fastener.6.3 General assembly detailsGeneral assembly details of the pallets, including dimensions and tolerances, shall conform to Table 3 and toFigure 1 for skid pallet and to Figure 2 for perimeter base pallet. The chamfering of the bottom deck boards shall beon all bottom deck boards. All dimensions shall be in conformity with EN 13382Table 3 — General assembly – Overall tolerances in millimetresLength1200 ± 3Width1000 ± 3Height of skid pallet147 70+Height of perimeter base pallet164 82+-NOTEHeight tolerances are the sum of the tolerances of the individual components.SIST EN 13698-2:2003
