Summary
To achieve the objectives two mechanisms were developed:
A document detailing best practice in the design of stock crates for the transport of livestock by air; and,
Recommendations for a system of self regulation of stock crate designs and manufacturers to assure the quality of stock crate supplied to exporters.
The outcome of this project has been to develop both mechanisms in a manner no more onerous than that which should be in place in any quality conscious organisation. The Best Practice Design Document is a compilation of existing industry specifications, standards and design methods. Its premise is to provide a source of primary design information and detail where to find supporting data.
