ISO 11607 Packaging Plastics Validation Testing
The ISO 11607 series of standards provides a comprehensive framework for validating the integrity and performance of packaging made from plastics. This service is particularly crucial in ensuring that packaging materials meet stringent quality, safety, and durability requirements across various industries such as pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, and consumer goods.
The primary focus of this testing lies in identifying any potential weaknesses or vulnerabilities in the plastic packaging material during storage, transportation, and use. By validating these properties, our service ensures that the packaging remains intact under specified conditions, safeguarding the contents from contamination and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Our experts at Eurolab employ advanced analytical techniques tailored to the specific needs of this testing. This includes the use of thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and other relevant methods to assess the thermal stability, mechanical properties, and barrier performance of packaging plastics.
The testing process is meticulously designed to simulate real-world conditions that packages might encounter. This includes exposure to temperature fluctuations, humidity, and other environmental factors that could affect the integrity of the plastic materials. By doing so, we ensure that our clients can rely on robust and reliable packaging solutions that meet both internal standards and external regulatory requirements.
Our service not only guarantees compliance with international standards such as ISO 11607 but also helps in identifying areas for improvement in the design and manufacturing processes of packaging plastics. This is achieved through detailed reporting and analysis, which provide actionable insights to our clients.
