NATO Supply Class 8135 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 81, which is dedicated to containers, packaging, and packing supplies. Specifically, Class 8135 focuses on packaging and packing bulk materials.

This classification is used by NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) to categorize and standardize the procurement and supply of packaging materials for bulk items. It includes various types of packaging materials and methods that are suitable for handling and transporting bulk materials efficiently and securely.

The purpose of NATO Supply Class 8135 is to ensure that NATO member countries have access to standardized packaging solutions for bulk materials, which helps to streamline logistics and improve interoperability among member nations.

Examples of packaging and packing materials included in Class 8135 may include bulk bags, drums, barrels, crates, pallets, and other containers specifically designed for handling and transporting bulk materials. These materials are typically durable, secure, and capable of withstanding the rigors of transportation and storage.

By using the standardized classification system, NATO member countries can easily identify and procure the appropriate packaging and packing materials for their specific needs, ensuring compatibility and efficiency in their logistics operations.

It is important to note that the specific requirements and standards for packaging and packing bulk materials may vary among NATO member countries. Therefore, it is recommended to consult the relevant NATO documentation and guidelines for detailed information on the specific requirements and standards within NATO Supply Class 8135.
