EUROLAB, together with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM D880 testing. The scope of ASTM D880 shipping container testing is to determine the consequences of effects on the container. The test standard has two procedures.
Procedure A tests the ability of the shipping container to withstand impacts. Procedure B tests the ability of the shipping container to provide content protection. For Procedure B, the definition of the shipping container includes the outer container as well as the inner container.
ASTM D880 can be applied to a range of containers. These include, but are not limited to, bags, drums, boxes, crates, drums, vats, pails and sacks. The standard also allows testing of pallet loads and palletized units. Heavily loaded units can be tested to this standard.
Why is impact testing important? Effects are a common situation in transportation. Regardless of the shipping method, effects are common on air, sea, rail or road. It can occur as containers are dropped from one surface to another. They can occur as containers are placed on top of each other. The effects occur during normal actions, but can also happen accidentally.
An ASTM D880 test lab will require a different container setup according to the procedure being tested. For example, in Procedure A, the actual ingredients or artificial ingredients can be used in the container. Only real ingredients can be used for Procedure B. Regardless of the content, the container must be strapped, sealed and sealed, as when moving.
