Transit Testing & Validation

Our own mechanical testing laboratory plus authoritative third-party reports — so packaging strength is backed by data, not opinion

Testing & Validation

Transit Testing & Validation

With our in-house mechanical testing laboratory we cover routine performance validation of packaged products, and can also arrange submission to an authoritative third-party body for a formal test report.

Drop
Drop Test

GB/T 4857.5 — face, edge and corner drops

Stacking
Stacking Test

GB/T 4857.3 — loaded 24 h to 7 days

Vibration
Vibration Test

Sine and random vibration simulating road spectra

How We Work

Commissioning a Test

01 Scoping

Clarify the purpose: in-house validation, customer requirement or clearance evidence

02 Standard

Agree the GB/T or ISTA procedure, test level and acceptance criteria

03 Samples

Submit samples in true shipping condition, with real contents or ballast

04 Execution

Run every test in the procedure, recording data and imagery throughout

05 Reporting

In-house report issued immediately; third-party reports follow the lab's own lead time

06 Retest

Improvement advice on any failure, with one free retest after optimisation

Standards

Standards We Work To

GB/T 4857 Series

Fundamental test methods for drop, stacking, vibration and compression

ISTA Procedures

Full 1A/2A/3A/3E range including road simulation and unitised load tests

GB/T 8166

Cushioning material design rules, used to check cushion dimensions

ASTM D4169

The prevailing US practice for performance testing of shipping containers

ISTA 7E / Thermal

Environmental simulation programmes for cold chain and temperature-controlled packaging

Bespoke Standards

Run to your own internal validation protocol with a cross-reference table

Before Sending

Sample Submission Notes

  • Send samples in true shipping condition, with real contents or equivalent ballast
  • Allow three samples for routine items; third-party testing may require more
  • State your written requirement up front: internal validation or an officially sealed report
  • Climatic tests require pre-conditioning, which typically adds one to two days
  • Deliverables: raw test records, acceptance verdict and the formal test report
