ISTA测试实验室

元素在以下ISTA测试系列中提供各种方法：

• ISTA 1系列 - 非仿真完整性性能测试该系列测试了包装的一般强度和可行性。它还评估产品在运输过程中如何在包装内交互。这些测试非常基本，通常用作最小包装要求的尺度。与以后的系列不同，不需要环境测试。
• ISTA 2 Series – Partial Simulation Performance TestsA step up from the 1 Series, these tests also determine basic performance requirements for packages. However, they also include at least one of the environmental requirements found in Series 3. These are good tests for packages that aren’t going to be put through particular strenuous transit situations.
• ISTA 3系列 - 一般仿真性能测试3系列构成大多数人通常认为是标准包装测试的原因。这些测试模拟了通常对装运产品造成损坏的力，例如振动和冲击，下降和冲击测试以及大气调节。它们还包括可以模拟不同车辆和类型的方法。ISTA系列3被选中用于易于损坏的产品/包装组合，或往往造成更多损坏的路线或过境类型。
• ISTA 4系列 - 增强仿真性能测试Series 4利用3系列的标准测试方法，但也使用至少一个聚焦仿真测试，这些测试是根据装运和存储期间的包裹体验模仿实际记录的条件。
• ISTA 6系列 - 会员性能测试系列6包含ISTA-accepted方法制作h have been developed by a member company to suit their specific testing needs. Element performs Series 6 tests developed by shipping giants such as Amazon, FedEx, and Sam’s Club.
• ISTA 7 Series – Development TestsSeries 7 tests are specifically used in the development of transport containers and packages. These tests can be used to compare two or more designs but are not suited to evaluate the protection provided by the packaging.

选择ISTA测试系列时的主要因素之一是您希望实现的最终目标。一些测试系列提供简单的强度测试，通常用作筛选测试或性能基准。其他，更强大的系列包括环境模拟，如振动和震动，希望在储存和运输过程中展示您的包装可能会经历的标准条件。最全面的测试程序定制以模仿您的包裹体验的实际条件，允许更具增强的仿真测试。

After determining your end goal, an additional factor to take into account is the weight and configuration of the package. ISTA testing methods separate different weight classes and packaging types into letter categories, A through H. Packages under 150 lb (generally noted as A) are tested under a different set of guidelines than those above 150 lbs (generally noted as B). There is also a difference between testing packages destined for parcel delivery, versus those being shipped freight. Finally, you’ll want to consider whether your package is a standalone item, or split in units (referred to by ISTA as “unitized”, and marked as E).
