ISTA 1C Non-Simulation

[Transport Test] We will conduct a series of packaging tests in accordance with the test sequence specified in ISTA 1C.

Overview of the ISTA 1C Test: - It applies to individually packaged products weighing 150 lb (68 kg) or less. (An extended test of ISTA 1A) The ISTA 1C test is not a packaging test that simulates transportation environments. - The test items consist of compression tests, vibration tests (either random or fixed displacement), and impact tests. In the compression test, the compression load value is determined using the load calculation formula according to ISTA standards. There are two methods for compression: "Apply and Release (AR)" and "Apply and Hold (AH)." For the vibration test, either fixed displacement vibration or random vibration can be selected. - If fixed displacement vibration is chosen, the frequency at which the cargo bounces is explored, and that frequency is applied to calculate the vibration time. The test is conducted in four directions: bottom, top, sides, and ends. The vibration time for the bottom direction is half of the total test time, while for the other surfaces, it is one-sixth of the total test time. - In the impact test (drop), a total weight of 0 to 10 kg results in a drop of 760 mm. For a total weight of 45 kg to 68 kg, the drop is 200 mm. The drop height is specified according to the total weight of the cargo.

basic information

【ISTA 1C】【Test Sequence】 1. Compression Test 2. Vibration Test (Fixed Displacement Vibration Test or Random Vibration Test) 3. Drop Test ISTA (International Safe Transit Association) is one of the international standards widely adopted in various countries for the evaluation testing standards of packaged goods, similar to ISO and ASTM. In recent years, its presence has particularly increased in Southeast Asia and China, with more companies adopting ISTA testing standards as their internal standards. Additionally, the international standard for sterilization packaging in medical devices, ISO11607 (JIS T8041), recommends ISTA testing as one of the options for packaging performance evaluation. Our testing lab was accredited by ISTA in December 2010 and conducts packaging tests tailored to customer requirements in accordance with the testing methods specified by ISTA. ▼ For more details, please download the PDF document (recommended). ▼ For urgent inquiries, please contact us using the 'Contact Us' section below.
