clearances in proportion to the tonnages supplied are as follows:
Graphic paper and cardboard in formats, in the usual standard qualities.

For the usual qualities sold in standard pallets (this concerns pre-packaged)
units, described to the manufacturer as containing a theoretically fixed number of sheets and which
(listed in its catalogues, price lists, etc.), there is no tolerance between the number of orders
and the number of sheets invoiced. The accuracy of the count, i.e. any difference
between the number of invoiced and the number of sheets delivered is covered in article 2.b.4

Determining the difference between ordered and delivered weight, weighed at the time of
manufacturing or packaging, must take place before delivery of an order or part of an order

established. As a result, the seller and buyer will have to set specific tolerances.
However, in case an agreement is not reached, the tolerances will be applied, which are below
a.1 for graphic paper and paperboard, point a.4 for other paperboard, point a.5 for packaging papers
and
other papers and under a.6 for solid board are listed.

c. Rejection border envelopes
b.1 The above mentioned deviations are not a reason for rejection. When assessing whether a party is outside
if the mentioned limits deviate, an average sample must be taken from the delivery,
the size of approximately one square root of the number of units and therefore cannot be
rejected on a few packages, if not on a few copies.
b.2 The window edge relative to the side of the envelope should be measured at least on the left or right
to be 8 mm while maintaining the above tolerance, unless for certain machines
other dimensions should reasonably be used, either as prescribed by the
machine supplier, or on the basis of generally recognized practical experience.
b.3 Especially with the different sizes and smaller quantities - especially when these are `handmade”
should be created - should be taken into account with a wider margin of play
held.
d. Deviation in the quantity of envelopes ordered
For orders of envelopes, not belonging to the warehouse types or requiring extra paper
must be purchased, the supplier is allowed a maximum of 15% above or below the
amount purchased to deviate.
e. Quality differences in envelopes
Minor deviations in the color of the paper and font and/or color when printing do not give any rights
to advertising.
f. Anomalies ordered quantum envelopes
With regard to the ordered quantity, the following deviations are allowed per format:
20% for batches of less than 1,000 pieces
15% for lots of 1,000 to 5,000 pieces
10% for lots of more than 5,000 pieces
Section 8: Deliveries & boxes
Box dimensions:
a. Boxes are internally measured and the dimensions are listed in the order:
length - width - height.
b. In the case of subdivisions, the number of cells is listed in the order: number of layers, number along the
length
and then number along the width of the box.9
c. In the case of plates, the first mentioned dimension is parallel to the directions of the wave; under the direction of
the
wave is understood to mean the direction of one wave ridge or valley.
d. Dimensions allow a deviation of up to + or - 5 mm in each direction, everything unless
otherwise agreed in writing.
e. Regardless of the bottom
f. stated, the interior must be smaller than the internal size of the
box.
Section 9: Supplies of plastic packaging
a. Slight deviations in color, size, weight and printing can never be a reason for advertising
shapes.
b. The difference between the agreed material thickness and the actual thickness of the
supplied
material may be 10% but at least 0.01 mm without this giving rise to advertisements
amounts.
Difference between the agreed length or width of the goods and the actual length
whether
the breadth of the delivered goods can never give rise to a complaint, unless the difference
is more than 5%.
Deviation from the agreed thickness, length or width of the delivered goods must
to be assessed on the basis of a typical copy of the delivered goods and not
on the basis of a few exceptional specimens.
c. We expressly declare that we do not accept liability for any consequential damage. Ten
overabundance, it is therefore noted that liability will never be accepted for the
influence that our article may have on the quality of the packaged product.
d. Discoloration, moisture, greasing or odour development of goods supplied by us
which
the result of the product that is packaged in our goods does not give grounds for any advertising.
e. Ordered quantities are delivered where possible. We reserve the right to get 10% more
whether
to deliver less than the ordered quantities.
Section 10 Research methods
The most recent NED or ISO standards apply to the methods of research to be applied.
If no standards are present, the method of investigation to be applied must be applied in advance
agreed.
The NED and ISO standards are currently as follows:
a. Sampling: NED 1763 method A or ISO 186
b. Sample conditioning: NED 1108 or ISO 187. Applicable on a case-by-case basis
conditioning for the test, in accordance with the standard, must be pre-tested
agreed.
Conditioning of paper samples for the corrugated cardboard industry, such as test liners, corrugated paper
(Wool dust) and grey paper (Schrenz) will be made at 23% or 50% r.v.
c. Determining sample size and number of samples
1 The method of determining the sample size should be regulated in advance.
2 As far as their number is concerned, the samples taken must at least comply with the standard
ISO R 186 or NED 1783 method A.
d. Determining weight per m2: NED 1109 or ISO 53610
e. Thickness measurement: NED 1110 or ISO R 438
f. Dimensions and perpendicularity
The following measurement methods can be used:
1. Measuring devices
Measuring table: a sturdy table covered with metal, plastic or glass. Firmly on this
bolted, both horizontally and vertically, a steel measuring ruler (from
sufficient length) with a scale of 0.5 mm.
The rulers should be strictly perpendicular to each other (to be checked with a calibrated).
triangle) and the zero points must coincide exactly. Auxiliary ruler with a
0.5 mm scale.
2. Measurement method
Measurement check: Place the side to be checked on the horizontal ruler and carefully
push against the vertical ruler and read.
In order to possibly not be right angles, all four sides must be measured.
Check the squareness: Place the sheet with the long side against the horizontal ruler.
Gently push against the vertical ruler. There are now 3 options:
- The squareness is 100% correct (angle is 90 o).
- The angle is less than 90 o. Deviation can be read using an auxiliary ruler.
- The angle is greater than 90 o. Deviation can be read on the horizontal ruler.
To check the remaining three corners, rotate the sheet clockwise.
Results
Format deviation:
Always indicate the most different values of the long and short sides.
Deviation from the squareness:
Indicate all four anomalies. For the assessment, the most different
value taken into account.
Paragraph 11 Other
a. Normal distribution of measured values
All tolerances mentioned in these General Terms and Conditions are considered to have been met if
95% of the measured values in the batch remain within the prescribed tolerances. On the other hand,
for 4.5% of the measured value units, there is no deviation greater than 1.5 times the
tolerance value.
Of the total number of measurements, a maximum of 0.5% of this limit of 1.5 times the
exceed the tolerance value.
b. For all technical features for which no tolerances are mentioned in the above,
applies,
that minor deviations cannot be a cause for disputes, insofar as the delivered goods
are suitable for the use for which they were ordered.
c. The wavy lying of paper and cardboard is not considered a shortcoming.
d. The buyer of creation parties is obliged, up to a maximum of 10% of the ordered
quantity,
to accept paper or cardboard that has minor differences from the one ordered
