Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Annex E. Recommendations relating to storage and storage and transport conditions
Containers of rice should be stored in covered premises, well protected from the sun, rain and excessive heat.
The storeroom should be dry, free from unpleasant odours and protected against entry of insects and other vermin. Ventilation should be adjusted in such a way as to give good ventilation during dry weather and to be fully closed under damp conditions. Suitable provisions should be made for fumigation of storerooms.
Containers should be handled and transported in such a way that they are protected from the rain, sun or other sources of excessive heat, unpleasant odours and any other contamination (especially in the holds of ships).
