ISTA

PACKTEST is a certified Laboratory accredited to the International Safe Transit Association (Certified Laboratory ST- 4624) for the preshipment testing of pack / product combinations.

The International Safe Transit Association uniquely has an integrated programme of test procedures designed to test packaging pre-shipment to determine the effectiveness of the packaging in preventing damage.

The ISTA tests are based on tests standardised by the ASTM International (formerly the American Society for Testing and Materials) and are basically the equivalent of ISO, BS, EN and JIS standards.

Packtest is approved for tests 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 2A, 2B, 2D & 2E
