【Transportation Test】 ASTM D4169 / D7386
We will conduct a series of packaging tests in accordance with the test sequences specified in ASTM D4169 and ASTM D7386.
This is one of the many transportation packaging test standards that have been referenced in the United States for an extended period. Our company conducts packaging tests tailored to customer requirements in accordance with the test sequences specified in ASTM D4169 / ASTM D7386. Additionally, ISO 11607 (JIS T8041), which is an international standard for sterilization packaging related to medical devices, recommends it as a performance test for packaging. ▼ For more details, please download the PDF document (recommended). ▼ Customers in a hurry, please contact us using the 'Contact Us' section below.
basic information
**Features of ASTM D4169 Transport Testing** Transport tests are specified according to 10 hazard factors during transportation, and these tests are combined to form a comprehensive test that aligns with actual transport environments. The severity of the tests is divided into three levels based on the guarantee level. While the concept is similar to JIS Z 0200 and ISO 4180, the testing methods and specified values differ. **Features of ASTM D7386 Transport Testing** ASTM D7386 is a new general standard issued in March 2008, derived from ASTM D4169, to address changes in the transport environment due to the rapid increase in small parcel handling by major shipping companies such as FedEx and UPS, focusing on "Single Parcel" shipments weighing 68 kg or less. Tests are specified according to 8 hazard factors during transportation, and these tests are combined to form a comprehensive test.

Introduction of a large-scale vibration testing machine
We have recently introduced a large vibration testing machine with a vibration table measuring 1,500mm × 1,500mm. Previously, we owned a maximum size of 1,200mm x 1,200mm, but with the addition of this larger vibration testing machine, we are now able to accommodate even larger products. 【We can meet the following requests】 - We would like to conduct vibration tests on large products. - We want to perform transportation vibration tests in accordance with standards such as JIS, ASTM, and ISTA. - We would like to measure the vibration response characteristics of components and equipment. For any inquiries or consultations regarding testing, please feel free to contact us.

Contents and Key Points of ASTM D642-25 Standard Revision
The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has announced the latest version of ASTM D642 (Standard Test Method for Compression Resistance of Shipping Containers, Components, and Unit Loads), ASTM D642-25. This revision aims to enhance the consistency and accuracy of the testing. Background of the Revision - Improvement of accuracy, reproducibility, and reliability of compression tests - Strengthening of consistency among standards - Ensuring consistency in practical applications Main Changes 1. Addition of related standards due to strengthened consistency among standards: ASTM D5118 (Specification for Fiberboard Shipping Boxes) ASTM D6804 (Guide for Shipping Containers) 2. New requirements for movable platens: It is now mandatory to drive the platen at a constant speed of 0.5 inches per minute (12.7 mm ± 2.5 mm/min). This change aims to improve testing accuracy. 3. Direction recording during testing: It is now required to record the test direction during the test. 4. Update of Appendix X1 (X1.7): Clarification of flap handling methods for boxes: "Flaps should be bent directly to the sealing position or folded 180° and then returned to the normal sealing position." Impact and Benefits - Improved testing accuracy and reproducibility - Strengthened consistency among standards - Enhanced reliability of packaging tests
