ISO 12048 Packaging, Completed, Filled Transport Packages, Compression and Stacking Tests Using a Compression Tester

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ISO 12048 standard. This standard specifies a method for testing the compression resistance of completed, filled transport packages and a method for performing a stacking test on completed, filled transport packages using the same apparatus.

The test can be used to evaluate the performance of a package in terms of its strength or the protection it offers to its contents when subjected to compressive forces.

A test may be performed as a single test to investigate the effects of compression or stacking (deformation, collapse or distortion) or as part of a series of tests designed to measure a package's ability to withstand a delivery system.

This test can also be used as a stacking test to investigate performance under certain loading conditions, such as when a subpackage in a stack is resting on an open-fold pallet.

Wherever possible, testing should be performed in the same atmospheric conditions as used for conditioning, where this is critical to the packaging materials or application. In other cases, the test should be carried out in atmospheric conditions as close as possible to those used for conditioning.
