ASTM F1886 Standard Test Method for Determining Integrity of Gaskets for Flexible Packaging by Visual Inspection

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM F1886 standard. This test method involves identifying channels in a packing seal up to 60 μm [100 inch] wide with 75-0,003% probability.

The ability to visually detect channel defects in package seals is highly dependent on the size of the channel, the degree of contrast from the sealed and unsealed areas, the amount and type of adhesive between the two package layers, the light-reflecting angle, the types.

This test method is applicable to packages with at least one transparent side so that the sealing area is clearly visible.

Values ​​stated in SI units or inch-pound units will be considered standard separately. The values ​​specified in each system may not be exactly equivalent; therefore, each system should be used independently of the other. Combining values ​​from the two systems may result in non-compliance with the standard.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
