Glass Packaging Testing
The glass packaging industry is integral to modern supply chains, ensuring products are protected from contamination and environmental factors. Glass packaging testing involves a series of rigorous evaluations conducted to ensure the integrity, safety, and performance of glass containers used in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and other industries.
At Eurolab, our expertise lies in providing comprehensive glass packaging testing services that meet or exceed international standards such as ISO 6872:2015 and ASTM C140. Our approach ensures that clients can trust the quality of their glass packaging solutions, which is crucial for maintaining brand reputation and consumer confidence.
The process begins with a thorough consultation to understand specific product requirements and regulatory compliance needs. This allows us to tailor our testing protocols accordingly. Once approved, we proceed with detailed specimen preparation, ensuring each sample accurately represents the final product design.
- Material analysis
- Surface quality inspection
- Dimensional accuracy verification
Our state-of-the-art facilities are equipped with advanced instrumentation capable of simulating real-world conditions under which glass packaging might be exposed. This includes pressure testing, temperature cycling, and humidity exposure tests to assess durability and shelf life.
| Test Type | Description | Expected Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Brittle Strength Test | Determines the resistance of glass containers to mechanical stress. | Identification of weakest points in design and manufacturing process. |
| Thermal Shock Resistance | Evaluates the ability of glass packaging to withstand temperature variations without cracking or breaking. | Assurance that containers remain intact under extreme thermal conditions during transport and storage. |
We also perform microbiological testing to ensure the sterility of glass containers, which is particularly important for pharmaceutical applications. Our reports are detailed and include all relevant test results along with recommendations for improvement based on findings. This ensures clients have clear insights into their packaging performance.
Our commitment to excellence extends beyond just providing robust tests; we offer expert advice to help improve product development processes and enhance overall quality control measures within organizations.
