1 Introduction:
Scope of application
This packaging guideline is the contractual basis for delivery of parts to GE Jenbacher GmbH & Co OG. It
constitutes a supplement to the general conditions of purchase.
The GE Jenbacher GmbH & Co. OG packaging guideline is an additional document for specifying the
packing system.
Purpose
The Packaging Guideline familiarises suppliers with the packaging requirements of GE Jenbacher GmbH & Co
OG so that they can develop an optimised packing system on the basis of this Guideline. The objective of the
Guideline is a rationalised packing system that allows a continuous flow of material, taking all qualitative,
environmental and economic aspects into consideration. The following instructions are intended to guarantee
a rational, uninterrupted flow of materials by the use of standardised packaging.
Environmental protection and logistics requirements should be observed, based on the following criteria:
• Ecological priorities and environmental compatibility
• Logistics requirements (materials flow)
• Quality assurance
• Safety at work (EHS)
• Economic efficiency
Responsibilities
The supplier is responsible for the development of fit-for-purpose packaging systems which are in accordance
with the requirements of the product, the General Packaging Guideline of GE Jenbacher GmbH & Co. OG, and
all applicable regulations established by federal, state, provincial and local governments, including those
applicable to the location where the package will be delivered.
For all disposable packaging, the use of sustainable materials which are accepted for recycling worldwide is
required. Packaging waste, wasteful and/or excessive over-packaging should be avoided as specified in EU
Directive 94/62/EC.
It is the responsibility of suppliers, both internal and external, to ensure that all items being shipped are
properly and adequately preserved, protected and packed for safe arrival at their destination.
Failure to comply with the general packaging guideline may lead to a corrective action request. Furthermore
the supplier may be held liable for any additional costs associated with repackaging work, handling operations
or waste disposal, as well as for reductions in quality due to inadequate or contaminated packaging.

General Packaging Guideline for vendor parts
Packing function
Irrespective of the choice of packaging type, ensure that deliveries meet the following requirements:
• Parts to be delivered without any deterioration of quality and free of contamination.
• Transport packing units should make for safe and easy handling during unloading and handling with fork
lift and pallet trucks.
• Formation of rational load units and efficient capacity utilisation
• Stackability
• Sufficient transit support
• Safe and easy handling while removing parts from their packing
• Proper marking
• Use of recyclable materials
• One article (parts of one part number) to be delivered per single packing unit
• If mixed containers cannot be avoided, parts must be clearly visibly separated and
• Packaging alternatives such as re-usable packing systems should be considered
• Dividers are to be used when shifting or rubbing could cause damage.
• All sensitive parts must be properly cushioned
Packaging must perform several functions during transportation, storage and use:
Protection function
Protection from physical damage and environmental hazards, sufficient
stability to withstand the maximum stacking height.
Loading and transportation
Transport packaging should be designed to be held, lifted, moved, set
down and stowed easily and safely.
Storage function
Packing must withstand the static and environmental loads to which it is
exposed during storage.
Convenience
Convenience of use and safe handling by users.
Communication
Visibility of relevant consignment details and supplier data.
Compliance function
Environmental acceptability and ease of recycling and/or disposal and
compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
Guarantee function
By delivering an undamaged packing unit the supplier ensures that details
on the packaging correspond to the content of the packaging.
Rationalisation
Efficient loading and storage units in terms of dispatch type, route and
weight, shipping space utilisation, storage space utilisation as well as safe
handling during loading, unloading, storing, opening and disposal.
Process of packaging predefinition
The packaging predefinition process is based on the general packaging guideline and the packaging data
sheet. The aim is to draw up a cooperative packaging agreement between the supplier and GE Jenbacher
GmbH & Co OG.
Packaging agreement
The general packaging guideline plus packaging data sheet are forwarded to the supplier together with the GE
terms of purchase. The supplier shall draw up a packaging proposal on the basis of the packaging guideline
and send it to the relevant Supplier Quality Engineer (SQE). If the supplier already has an existing packaging
procedure document, this document can be used instead of the packaging data sheet. By sending the proposal
to GE Jenbacher GmbH & Co OG, the supplier accepts the packaging data sheet.

JWN 890110
General Packaging Guideline for vendor parts
Packaging prototypes or first samples/zero series packed in accordance with the packaging proposal shall be
provided on request.
If changes are required, a change proposal will be sent to the supplier.
The objective is to conclude the packaging agreement before the first series delivery. Quality
requirements, as specified in the packaging guideline, must be fulfilled, also after approval of the
agreement. The acceptance of a packing system does not release the supplier from his responsibility to
ensure a damage-free delivery. By default, the supplier may be held liable for any additional costs,
associated with repacking work, handling operations or waste disposal, as well as for reductions in quality
due to inadequate or contaminated packaging.
Communication
Send your packaging proposal by e-mail to the relevant Supplier Quality Engineer (SQE)
Deviation request
Deviations from the agreed specification are to be coordinated with GE Jenbacher GmbH & Co OG. The
responsible SQE is to be informed of any SDRs. A copy of the approved SDR form is to accompany the affected
delivery.
Packaging changes
Packaging changes can be requested by the supplier or GE Jenbacher GmbH & Co OHG. This procedure follows
the same process as the packaging agreement.
If changes are required, the supplier or GE Jenbacher GmbH & Co OG issues a packaging change request, in
the form of a packaging proposal. By sending the proposal to GE Jenbacher GmbH & Co OG, the supplier
accepts the packaging data sheet.
Packaging prototypes or first samples/zero series in prototype packing are to be supplied on request. If
changes are required, a change proposal will be sent to the supplier.

2 Packing requirements
The choice of packing method is dependent on product characteristics, and protection requirements,
transportation mode and conditions on the supplier's site.
2.1 Approved materials
Environmental targets regarding packaging planning
Prevention of packaging waste; re-usability of packaging; ease of recycling; recovery of packaging materials;
reduced use of packaging materials.
To meet environmental requirements, the marking of packaging and packaging materials for
recycling purposes as specified in DIN 6120, is required.
Ensure that disposable packaging is clearly and visibly marked with the standard symbols (symbols and
abbreviations as specified in DIN 6120) and/or those recognised by the waste disposal industry. The
identification must not restrict recyclability.
Approved packaging materials
In general, environmentally compatible materials deemed suitable and accepted worldwide for recycling are to
be used for all disposable packaging. Composite materials and loose fill materials such as packaging chips
should be avoided.
Packaging material must not affect the cleanliness of parts.
Paper/cardboard/corrugated board
Plastics

paper production
• For disposable use: PE, PP
• For re-use: PE, PP, PS
• Film: PE
• Foam: PE, PP, PS
Maximum 5% printed area for all applications.
Anti-corrosion paper/film
VCI papers, for which there is evidence that its materials can be
recycled with paper/cardboard.
VCI film, which it has been shown can be recycled with plastic film.
Corrosion protection packaging materials may not contain any
nitrosamine compounds, secondary amine compounds, heavy
metals or nitrite.
Oil or waxed paper may be used in cases when VCI materials cannot
be used.

2.2 Anti-corrosion packaging
Preservation must be applied in accordance with the relevant drawing and the P23E-AL-0255 specification
unless agreed otherwise.
All machined, bright finished or other critical surfaces that are sensitive to corrosion require sufficient corrosion
protection. See the terms of transport and storage. In particular, machined castings and forgings such as
connecting rods, cylinder liners or crankshafts are highly sensitive to corrosion and require special protection.
Other reasons for special corrosion protection are the external conditions during transport, such as the
formation of condensation as a result of temperature changes combined with elevated levels of relative
humidity, seawater, dirt and gases in the air (such as SO2), salts, hygroscopic dust, all of which promote
corrosion. The same applies to packaging materials with an elevated water content.
Use capping, wrapping, plugging, covering or other suitable methods to protect packed items from corrosion,
dust, moisture, abrasion or any other damage that is detrimental to the appearance or function of the packed
item. The use of one or more such methods is recommended, depending on the application.
Where applicable, you are recommended to use VCI materials, such as VCI film or VCI paper which can be
recycled with ordinary film/paper. Oil or waxed paper may be used when VCI materials cannot be used.
The method adopted dictates how VCI materials are used. Packed items to be protected may be tightly
wrapped in VCI paper or VCI film. To ensure the effectiveness of the method, metal surfaces must be clean.
Complete and close fitting of the packing is advisable to ensure that the gas is not continuously removed from
the packing unit
due to air movement. This can be achieved by ensuring that the container is well sealed. The grade of VCI
packaging material to be used depends on the size, weight and geometry of the item(s) and handling/transport
considerations. The appropriate type of VCI material will be used, depending on the metallurgy of the packed
item.
Acceptable methods for sealing VCI packaging materials include taping, stapling, heat-sealing, skin-packing or
other appropriate methods to keep VCI material and VCI chemical vapours securely around the item and to
prevent rain or moisture from entering the package.
Before delivery, containers should be examined to ensure that all parts are properly preserved, wrapped,
covered or sealed and packed. Any damaged VCI films must be repaired or replaced.

General Packaging Guideline for vendor parts
Properly protect all blind holes and/or through holes, by capping or plugging. Caps and plugs must be a tight
fit, so that they will not come loose during transportation, handling and storage. Ensure that external threads
and other protruding components are properly protected from physical damage and other external influences.
Parts that are susceptible to corrosion must be packed in a dry non-corrosive environment for the
duration of shipment and storage, for a minimum of 6 months.
The type of anti-corrosive packaging material to be used is dependent on the sensitivity of the packed
items, the terms of transport, the duration of transport and storage and storage conditions.

2.6 Outer packing
Outer packing units may be corrugated cardboard boxes, re-usable containers, etc.
An outer packing unit combines various single packing units. There are two possible ways of identifying them:
Transport packing units containing one article must be clearly and visibly labelled on top with:
• Qty.
• GE Part No.
Transport packing units containing different articles must be kept separate and clearly marked as follows:
• "Mixed Parts"
• GE part numbers.
An outer packing unit combines various single packing units.
Positioning the packed item
Place the item in the packing so that the weight is evenly distributed. The size of the packing should be
consistent with the item.
If the item is smaller than the packing, all spaces should be filled so that the load cannot shift during
transportation and handling.
Box size is consistent with the size
of the item.
Spaces filled with cushioning
material.
Not acceptable: Packed items not
or not properly secured.
Cushioning material
Cushioning material is used to fill spaces and to protect packed items from damage due to mechanical
stresses such as impact, jolting or vibration in transit. Where the use of cushioning material is appropriate, it is
recommended that it should be easy and quick to remove and be recyclable.
Loose fill materials such as packaging chips, shredded materials, newspapers etc. should be avoided.
Closure
Packing units must be closed properly so as to protect items from external influences, maintain interior
cleanliness and keep the contents intact while providing safe handling and easy opening.

2.7 Shipping packing
Example: pallet plus load, box pallet, re-usable containers, wooden boxes, oversized parts
with transport aids, etc.
An outer packing unit may contain one or more articles. There are two possible ways of identifying them:
Transport packing units containing one article must be clearly and visibly labelled on top with:
• Qty.
• GE Part No.
Transport packing units containing different articles must be kept separate and clearly marked as follows (the
marking must be at an obvious place):
• "Mixed Parts"
• GE part numbers.
A transport packing unit consists of a base and the load. Example: pallet (plus load), a euro box pallet, a
wooden box or a re-usable container. Transport packing units must be constructed in such a way that they
meet all the demands associated with handling, storage and transportation. This applies to all aspects such
protection of the packed items, protection of the environment from the packed items, simple and safe handling
of the packing unit, storage life of the packing unit, and ensuring that items can be safely and easily handled
with a forklift and by manual lifting.
Positioning the units
Packing units on a pallet should be grouped together in an outer packing unit. The load should be held securely
and firmly on the pallet by strapping.
Examples

corrugated
cardboard box and
strapping
PE stretch film
wrapped around a
pallet with packing
units and strapping

Pallet with wooden
collar and strapping crate and strapping

When arranging transport packing units, ensure efficient utilisation of space and even distribution of weight. If
necessary, stack the units in an interlocked pattern to ensure load stability during transportation, storage and
use.

General Packaging Guideline for vendor parts
Closure
Packing units must be closed properly so as to protect items from external influences, maintain interior
cleanliness and keep the contents intact while providing safe handling and easy opening.
Transit support
Loads must be in a state which does not, in any way, affect safety during transport. A load is secured
appropriately for shipment if, when loaded, unloaded and handled in a proper manner, it is unable to injure
people or damage handling or other cargo.
To arrange rational loading, units must allow secure stacking. Ensure that load units which are not suitable for
stacking are marked accordingly.
Movable parts must be tied down, wedged or padded. This also applies to disassembled parts that are not
packed separately.
Inserts
When packing heavy and/or oversized parts into wooden boxes, crates, transport aids or pallets, ensure that
the inserts are constructed so as to ensure that the load is properly secured to prevent it from shifting.

wooden crates should ensure safe and easy handling during unloading and with
fork lift or pallet trucks, and during manual handling.
Permissible total weight
Depending on box construction
Requirements
Components which are shipped in wooden boxes must be placed in a way that
the load is properly secured from getting out of place. Depending on protection
requirements for packed items, the use of anti-corrosive paper, -film or VCI film
is recommended. Acceptable containers must be free of contamination, safely
and securely stackable and stable on surfaces.
Closure
Should provide safe and ease opening and is to be used in a proper way so as to
protect packed items from external influences, maintain interior cleanliness and
keep the contents intact. Lining/covers are to be used in a proper way so as to
protect packed items from external influences, maintain interior cleanliness and
keep the contents intact.
Edge protectors / Strapping Strapping must be applied using proper tension. Excessive tension may cause
the box to fail. The use of corner and/or edge protectors is recommended to

General Packaging Guideline for vendor parts
3.9 Transport aids
Heavy and oversized items that are not transportable using standard packing systems should be transported
using transport aids. It is recommended that all disassembled parts, which belong to the packed item, be tied
down or at any rate attached to the item, or to the transport aid, so that all parts belonging together, are easily
and clearly identifiable and cannot get lost.
Crate construction
Examples of transport aids are wooden or metal frames, squared-edge timber
structures, etc. The structures must be stable when standing and must provide
proper means for securing the load.
Transport aids must be shaped in a way that allows safe and easy handling
during unloading and handling with the forklift and the scheduled means of
transportation. Furthermore they must be properly secured to the packed item,
so that the transport aid and item can always be handled as one unit.
Requirements
Properly protect all blind holes and/or through holes, by capping or plugging.
Caps and plugs must be a tight fit, so that they will not come loose during
transportation, handling and storage. Ensure that external threads and other
protruding components are properly protected from physical damage and other
external influences.
Closure
Lining/covers are to be used in a proper way so as to protect packed items from
external influences, maintain interior cleanliness and keep the contents intact.
Strapping
Strapping must be applied using proper tension. Excessive tension may damage
the packed item. When strapping items, the use of corner and/or edge
protectors is recommended to prevent surfaces from damage.
Stackability
Construction and material quality should guarantee safe stacking during
transport and handling and be appropriate to the weight of the packed items.
Ensure that load units not suitable for stacking are marked accordingly.
Use
Sensitive parts of the product must be protected by using layer pads, capping,
outer wrapping or the like to protect them from damage. Sensitive parts such as
sensitive surfaces or protruding parts must be properly secured to prevent
damage.
Essential conditions
• Must provide safe and stable stacking
• Must be free from dirt contamination

4 Special packing requirements
4.1 Additional requirements for packing components with cleanliness requirements under
JWN 890115.
In addition to the basic requirements of this company standard, packing for components with cleanliness
requirements under JWN 890115 must be designed so that
• the required cleanliness class is maintained throughout the entire process, from packing to unpacking
• components are not contaminated with dirt (any more) as a result of the selected packing (e.g. abrasion
dust, dissolving of the packing, dirty packing, etc.)
• components are protected against external influences
• components are not made dirty during unpacking or picking (e.g. removal of individually-packaged parts /
products from the transport packing)
If cleanliness requirements under JWN 890115 defined for parts of components only (e.g. bores, passages,
machined surfaces), only these areas have to meet the above additional requirements by means of
appropriate measures (e.g. adhesive film, plugs).
The general procedure for packaging agreements is set out in Part 1 of this company standard. In addition to
the general procedure, the packing of components with cleanliness requirements under JWN 890115 must be
again examined and qualified as part of a cleanliness analysis (double-check for part cleanliness) as regards its
suitability. The final release of the packing as regards the supplier is then done by the SQE.
1) Double-check of component cleanliness and packing (carried out by Jenbacher)

General Packaging Guideline for vendor parts
Closure: Protect all blind holes and through holes properly with covers, caps or plugs. These must be a tight fit,
so that they will not come loose during transportation, handling and storage.
Internal packaging: The products must be packed in VCI packing or the equivalent to protect them against
corrosion and to prevent dirt contamination of the component cleanliness during handling and storage.
Outer packing units: Make sure that the products are arranged and packed in the best way possible to protect
them against physical damage, external influences and dirt. Suitable inserts such as layer pads, dividers, box
partitions or moulded inserts must be used for this. The outer packaging must always comply with the
requirements of "JWN 890110 General packing guidelines for bought-in parts".
