Packing Level requirements
MIL-STD-2073-1d Levels of Preservation are designed to protect an item
during shipment, handling, undetermined storage, and distribution to
consignees worldwide.
Examples of containers used for Level A & B
LEVEL A
Level "A" is the level of packing required for protection of material
against the most severe worldwide
conditions known or anticipated to be encountered during shipment,
handling and storage. A pack designated Level "A" will be designed, in
tandem with the applied preservation, to protect material against direct
exposure to extremes of climate, terrain, operational and transportation
environments without protection other than provided by a pack in outdoor
storage conditions for a minimum of 1 year.
LEVEL B:
Level "B" is the level of packing required for protection of material
under moderate (anticipated) worldwide shipment, handling and storage.
Packing designated Level "B" must be designed, in tandem with the
applied preservation, to be capable of protecting material not directly
exposed to extremes off climate, terrain, and operational and
transportation environments. It must be able to protect material against
physical damage and deterioration during favorable conditions of
shipment, handling and storage in warehouse conditions for a minimum of
18 months.
