ISTA Certified Package Integrity Testing Services

In the medical device and consumer goods industries, ensuring the safety and quality of products is crucial. One of the most important factors in ensuring product quality is the integrity of the packaging. That’s why package integrity testing has become a crucial aspect of product development and quality control.

ISO 11607-1, ISTA Standards, ASTM Standards, and FDA standards are some of the commonly used protocols for package integrity testing. These protocols set standards for how packaging should perform during various transportation and environmental conditions.

Some of the common packaging test standards include ISTA 6-FedEx A, ISTA 3A, ISTA 2A, ISTA 3E, ISTA 3B, ISTA-6-Amazon, ISTA-6-FEDEX,  general simulations, distribution center testing sequences, test procedures, test for individual packaged products, parcel delivery system, and general simulation tests. These standards provide guidelines for testing the durability and protection of packaged products during transportation through parcel delivery systems. These standards are essential for ensuring that products reach the end customers in good condition, without any damage during transit. The test procedures and testing sequences vary based on the type of product, packaging material, and the delivery system.

There are many different methods for package integrity testing, including drop testing, vibration testing, and compression testing. Some of the most commonly used methods are ASTM D4169, which covers package testing for military specifications, and ISTA 3A, which is a standard for package testing for transportation simulation.

When it comes to selecting a package integrity testing laboratory, it’s important to choose a laboratory that is accredited and certified. ISTA certified labs, for example, have the necessary expertise and equipment to perform accurate and reliable package testing.

Package integrity testing plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and quality of medical devices and consumer goods. By adhering to standards such as ISO 11607, ISTA, Amazon, FedEx, Sam’s Club, ISO and the FDA, and selecting a reputable testing laboratory, companies can ensure that their products reach their customers in the same condition as when they left the warehouse.
