Keep Away from Heat

"Keep Away from Heat" is a common handling and storage instruction symbol in international cargo transportation, used to indicate that goods should be kept away from heat sources during transport, loading/unloading, and storage, such as direct sunlight, high-temperature environments, and heat-generating equipment. This term is commonly seen on the outer packaging of goods in sea, air, and land transport, especially for temperature-sensitive goods such as chemicals, plastic products, food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and precision instruments. Usage scenarios include: positions inside containers near engines or vents, open-air storage yards, and warehouses near heaters or steam pipes. Note: The exporter should clearly print or affix this mark on the packaging and ensure it complies with international standards (such as ISO 780); it should also be stated in documents such as the bill of lading and packing list so that the carrier can take corresponding measures. Difference from other terms: "Keep Away from Heat" emphasizes avoiding high temperatures, while "Keep Away from Cold" requires protection against freezing; "Keep Away from Light" focuses on avoiding light, and the three may appear together. If the goods are both heat-sensitive and moisture-sensitive, the "Keep Away from Moisture" mark should also be used. Violating this requirement may cause the goods to melt, deteriorate, deform, or even cause a fire, so it must be strictly observed.
