ISO 3826 Packaging Compliance Testing for Export Goods
The ISO 3826 standard specifies the requirements, test methods and acceptance criteria for packaging used in international trade. This service ensures that your export goods meet the stringent standards set by the International Organization for Standardization to ensure safe and efficient transport.
Government regulations and market demands increasingly emphasize compliance with international standards like ISO 3826. Non-compliance can lead to delays, additional costs, and potential fines. Our laboratory provides comprehensive testing services that help your organization meet these requirements while enhancing the safety of your products in transit.
The test procedures outlined in ISO 3826 are designed to ensure that packaging is suitable for its intended use under the conditions of transport specified by the consignor or consignee. This includes tests for pressure, temperature, humidity, and shock resistance among others.
Our laboratory follows a structured approach when conducting these tests:
- Receive samples from your company
- Inspect each sample against ISO 3826 specifications
- Conduct necessary destructive testing to simulate real-world conditions
- Analyze results and compare them with the acceptance criteria specified in ISO 3826
- Generate detailed reports summarizing findings and recommendations for improvement.
The tests are carried out using state-of-the-art equipment that replicates actual transport scenarios. This ensures accurate results which are crucial for ensuring safe transportation of your goods overseas.
| Type of Test | Description | Expected Outcomes |
|---|---|---|
| Puncture Resistance Test | Determines the ability of a container to resist punctures from sharp objects during transport. | A pass/fail result indicating whether the packaging can withstand typical puncture forces encountered in transit. |
| Stacking Stability Test | Evaluates how well multiple layers of packaged goods will stack and remain stable under specified conditions. | An evaluation of stacking stability, ensuring that packages do not shift or topple during shipment. |
