ITSA 7E is a new version of the 7-Series tests that evaluate the effects of outside temperature exposures of individually packaged products shipped through the package delivery system. When used as an independent standard, it is useful for general testing and adequacy of insulated shipping containers.
According to ISTA 7E standards, the tests are recommended to follow the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) and Drug Evaluation and Research Center (CDER) guidelines. In addition, the sealed shipping container verifies its thermal performance. The qualification process benefits the end user of the product and the product supplier. With thermal packaging, you can be sure that the product has the maximum shelf life. The supply chain results in lower costs, making the product more affordable.
To start the ISTA 7E test, the test lab must take the appropriate number of samples for the test. The package and product should not be used to obtain the best test results, which is an accurate representation of the shipping conditions on the sample. If the actual packaging and product are not available, substitutes can be used, as close as possible to the original sample.
The product and package are considered as a unit during the test. ISTA recommends testing three samples using a new sample each time for accurate results. The refrigerant or temperature stabilizer must be the actual refrigerant used during production. To ensure perfect test samples, they should be sent to a top box or mounted in a laboratory. The test sample will be subjected to temperature conditioning.
ISTA guides will be used to establish benchmarks to measure performance. The package will be placed in the conditioning rooms and adjusted to the specified temperature and humidity. Any indication of damage, deterioration or malfunction damage to the product or package will be observed.
At the end of the test, EUROLAB will write a comprehensive report outlining the specific test procedure used. This includes the temperature and humidity differences to which the test sample is subject. In addition, laboratory package and product measurements, size, weight, etc. It will save.
ISTA 7E is one of the necessary steps to obtain the ISTA Thermal Transport Certificate Brand. This mark is a registered certification mark that can only be printed on certified packages used by a license agreement and an ISTA member.
In order to maintain certification, retesting should be done if there is a change in the production process or the package itself.
