Standar ISO 2872

Test Materials: ISO 2872 specifies the use of complete, filled transport packages for compression testing. The test materials typically include packages such as cartons, cases, or pallets that are filled with products and prepared for transport. These packages should be standard for the specific transport conditions the test aims to simulate.
Test Process: The test involves applying a vertical compressive force to the filled package. The compression is carried out using a standardized compression tester that simulates stacking or handling conditions during transportation. The load is progressively increased until the package fails or reaches a specified deformation level. The conditions, such as humidity and temperature, are controlled to reflect real-world shipping environments.
Test Result Interpretation: Test results are interpreted based on the amount of deformation or damage the package sustains under the applied load. Acceptable performance typically means the package can withstand the forces encountered during transport without failure. The extent of compression or damage helps determine the package’s robustness and suitability for its intended use.
