Norma ISO 12048

Test Materials: ISO 12048 applies to complete, filled transport packages made of various materials like cardboard, plastic, or wood. These packages must be properly sealed and representative of the typical transport conditions they will face.
Test Process: The test involves placing the transport package on a compression tester, where it is subjected to compressive forces simulating stacking conditions. The package is compressed step-by-step, with measurements taken at specified intervals to assess its structural integrity.
Test Result Interpretation: Results are based on the package’s ability to withstand compressive forces without significant deformation or failure. The test provides data on how the package performs under typical stacking conditions, indicating its suitability for transportation and storage.
