The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has announced the latest version of ASTM D642 (Standard Test Method for Compression Resistance of Shipping Containers, Components, and Unit Loads), ASTM D642-25. This revision aims to enhance the consistency and accuracy of the testing. Background of the Revision - Improvement of accuracy, reproducibility, and reliability of compression tests - Strengthening of consistency among standards - Ensuring consistency in practical applications Main Changes 1. Addition of related standards due to strengthened consistency among standards: ASTM D5118 (Specification for Fiberboard Shipping Boxes) ASTM D6804 (Guide for Shipping Containers) 2. New requirements for movable platens: It is now mandatory to drive the platen at a constant speed of 0.5 inches per minute (12.7 mm ± 2.5 mm/min). This change aims to improve testing accuracy. 3. Direction recording during testing: It is now required to record the test direction during the test. 4. Update of Appendix X1 (X1.7): Clarification of flap handling methods for boxes: "Flaps should be bent directly to the sealing position or folded 180° and then returned to the normal sealing position." Impact and Benefits - Improved testing accuracy and reproducibility - Strengthened consistency among standards - Enhanced reliability of packaging tests

[Test Overview] The bubble leak test uses a testing method compliant with ASTM F2096 standards, submerging sealed packages underwater and applying internal pressure to detect the presence of leaks in non-porous and porous packaging. In particular, in the medical device field where confirmation of the integrity of sterilized packaging is required, we provide highly reliable test results. [Test Equipment] Leak Tester: Sun Science FKT-100 (maximum pressure 0.07 MPa) Testing Water Tanks: - Small: 585 × 435 × 435(h) mm - Medium: 1,775 × 430 × 420(h) mm - Large: 840 × 840 × 425(h) mm *The feasibility of testing will be determined based on the size and shape of the packaging. Please feel free to consult us for details. [Benefits of Requesting Our Services] Highly reliable testing compliant with ASTM standards Numerous achievements in the medical and pharmaceutical industries Ideal for evaluating the validity of packaging design and quality assurance activities Quick response and flexible adjustment of testing conditions are possible.
