ISTA3Series Simulation General Performance Procedure Test
ISTA Distributing Confidence Worldwide
ISTA 3 Series tests are advanced tests and are designed to:
Challenge the capability of the package and product to withstand transport hazards butUtlize general simulation of actual transport hazards andDo not necessarily ply with carrier packaging regulations.
When properly executed ISTA procedures willprovide tangible benefts of:
Product to market time reductionConfidence in product launch Reduction in damages and product lossCustomer satisfaction contributing to increased market share Balanced distribution costs
VERSION DATE TECHNICAL Change: Last MARCH 2018
There are two sections to this Prooedure: Overview and Testing
Overview provides general knowledge required before testing andTesting presents the speific instructions to do laboratory testing.
Two systems of weights and measures are presented in ISTA test procedures: SI (Metic) or English system (Inch-Pound). Metricunits are shown first folowed by the Inch-Pound unis in parentheses; there are exceptions in some tables (when shownseparately).
EDITORIAL Change: Last JULY 2022
Familiarity with the following units and symbols used in this document is required:
For measuring Metric units and symbols English units and symbolsDistance Weight kilograms (kg) or grams (gm) meters (m) or milimeters (mm) pounds (lb) feet (ft) or inches (in)Volume Cubic centimeters (cm) pounds per cubic inch (bin²) Cubic inches (in?)Density Temperature kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m²) Centigrade (°C) Fahrenheit (°F)Absolute Pressure Kilopascal (kPa) Pounds per square inch (psi)

程序概述3A
测试程序3A是针对通过包裹递送系统运输的独立包装产品进行的通用模拟测试.该测试适用于四种常见的独立包装类型，包括标准型、小型、扁平型和细长型包装，这些包装通常通过航空或地面运输方式分发.3A测试包含一项可选的低气压随机振动测试（模拟高空环境），用于检验容器（无论是主包装还是运输包装）保持密封或闭合状态的能力，以及在无泄漏情况下保持内容物（液体、粉末或气体）完整性的性能.
标准包装产品是指不符合下列小型、扁平或细长包装产品定义的任何包装产品.标准包装产品可以是传统纤维板纸箱，也可以是塑料、木质或圆柱形容器.如下所示：
小型包装产品应定义为任何满足以下条件的包装产品：
体积小于13 000cm3（800 in），且 最长尺寸为350毫米（14英寸）或更短且体重为4.5公斤（10磅）或以下.示例如下所示：
扁平包装产品应定义为任何满足以下条件的包装产品：
最短尺寸为200毫米（8英寸）或更小和最长的边是短边的四倍或四倍以上，和体积为13 000 cm²（800 in3）或更大.示例如下所示：
长条形包装产品应定义为任何满足以下条件的包装产品：
最长边为900毫米（36英寸）或更长且该包装的其他两个尺寸均不超过最长尺寸的20%.示例如下所示：
州
若包装产品同时具有扁平和细长两种形态，则应按细长形态进行包装测试.

Hazardous material packaging that passesthis test proceduremay ntmeet intemational national orother regulatoryrequirements for the transport of hazardous materials. This test is not a substitute for United Nations andlor any other requiredtest standards for the transport of hazardous materials but should be used as an additional test in conjunction with them.
Test Procedure A covers tsting of individual packaged-products weighing 70klograms (150 pounds) rless when preparedfrshipment via a parcel delivery carrier.
Scope
The shipper shall determine the foloing prior to testing:
ProductDamageTolerance and PackageDegradation Allowance
what consitutes damage to the product andwhat damage tolerance level is allowable if any andthe acceptable package condition at the conclusion of the test.
