Standar ISO 2874

Test Materials: The test materials for ISO 2874 are complete, filled transport packages. These packages should be prepared and filled according to their intended use to replicate real-world stacking conditions. The materials typically include cartons, boxes, or containers that contain the product intended for shipment.
Test Process: The stacking test is performed by subjecting the filled transport package to a vertical compression force using a compression tester. The package is stacked on top of other similar packages, and the pressure applied is gradually increased until the package is deformed or reaches a predefined maximum compression.
Test Result Interpretation: Test results are interpreted by evaluating the package’s ability to withstand the applied compression force without significant deformation or failure. The acceptable limit for deformation varies based on package design and product protection requirements, ensuring the package remains functional during transport and storage.
