Test Standard Organizations International Safe Transit Association Founded in 1948 ASTM International Committee D10 – Packaging Usually focuses on how to conduct a specific tests but not on overall package performance. Example: ASTM D5276 tells how to run a drop test, but does not specify drop heights, number of drops, or drop orientations. International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Famous for quality process ISO Technical Committee 122 works on packaging standards ISO 4180 Packaging – Complete, Filled Transport Packages
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Official USA representative on several world-wide standardization fronts Committee MH-10 works on packaging Hazardous Materials (Dangerous Goods) regulation organizations Several government-based and trade organizations, national and international bodies Most HazMat regulations are based on recommendations of the United Nations Committee on Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods The National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) Serves trucking industry Item 222 (Fiber-board boxes), 245 (wooden crates), 180 (pre-shipment performance test)
United States Government US Department of Transportation (USDOT), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Department of Defense (DoD), and General Services Administration (GSA) Examples of US government packaging testing specifications: MIL-STD-2073 and Fed-Std-101 Other National and International Organizations Many countries have regulations and standards related to packaging and transportation
ISTA International Safe Transit Association www.ista.org Certifies test labs Certifies lab professionals Hosts annual International Transport Packaging Forum Sets standards/protocols for distribution testing Certifies packaged-products
Reasons for Lab Tests • Predict the outcome/performance of a package during distribution • Provide information for changing protective packaging design • Allow careful observation and documentation • Increase confidence level
Function of Packaging Test Labs Conduct pre-shipment performance testing Evaluate packages, materials, and products Appropriateness of tests and accuracy of data are very important
Required Equipment D = drop tester I = incline impact H = horizontal impact FV = fixed displacement vibration table RV = random vibration table (can also perform fixed displacement vibration) CM = compression machine LS = load spreadher TH = temp/humidity chamber X1 Only one is needed X2 Only one is needed X3Only one is needed CBU Lab shown in RED
