Title
REQUIREMENTS FOR PACKAGING, HANDLING, AND TRANSPORTATION FOR AERONAUTICAL AND SPACE SYSTEMS, EQUIPMENT, AND ASSOCIATED COMPONENTS

NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration

Publication Date:
Mar 28, 2005

Scope:

This NPR defines general requirements for preservation, packaging, packing, marking, handling, transportation, and related data and documentation pertaining to all NASA procured software and hardware items. For the purposes of this NPR, the definitions in Appendix A shall apply.

The requirements of this NPR do not supersede detailed NASA-approved preservation, packaging, marking, handling, and transportation specifications or procedures. Contractual provisions regarding supersession will apply. This NPR may be used as part of, or as a supplement to, other approved specifications or procedures. Appropriate paragraphs of this publication may be incorporated by reference in a contract to spell out the obligations of the parties with respect to hazardous items, NASA critical item labeling, and special packaging, handling, and transportation data for mission-essential items.

When this NPR is incorporated contractually by reference, the procurement documents shall cite its title and date and, if desired, specific direction as follows:

Level of preservation and packaging and level of packing to be supplied (see paragraph 2.1.).

Listing of items requiring a Packaging, Handling, and Transportation Record (see paragraph 3.1.).

Specifications and procedures for preservation, packaging, packing, marking, handling, transportation, and related data and documentation shall be compatible with this NPR except to the extent that a deviation or waiver is approved in accordance with paragraph 1.2. herein. The mere citation of this NPR or the mere incorporation by reference of this NPR, or a part thereof, does not constitute compliance with any other applicable requirement that detailed or specific provisions be provided or stated in a particular document.

This NPR establishes packaging, handling, and transportation requirements adequate to maintain the reliability of NASA items and to achieve their damage-free delivery to the place and time of ultimate use. The purpose of this NPR is to promote a standard, streamlined approach for transportation shipment activities and to provide guidance for meeting packaging, handling, and transportation requirements pursuant to institutional, program, and project goals and missions throughout NASA.

APPLICABILITY. This NPR is applicable to NASA Headquarters and NASA Centers, including Component Facilities. When incorporated contractually, its use is mandatory for all contractors, shipping on behalf of NASA, to satisfy contractual program and project obligations.
