To achieve UN certification, packaging must pass a series of performance tests that simulate the conditions it may encounter during transport. These tests include:
· Drop Test: Packages are dropped from various heights onto a rigid surface to ensure they can withstand impact without leaking.
· Stacking Test: Containers are subjected to stacking pressure to simulate conditions in storage and transit.
· Hydrostatic Pressure Test: For liquid containers, this test ensures the packaging can withstand internal pressure without leaking.
· Vibration Test: Packages are subjected to vibration to simulate transportation conditions.
· Leak-proofness Test: This ensures that the packaging doesn't leak under normal handling conditions.
