Thermal Testing & Environmental Conditioning
Packaging often faces extreme temperature and humidity changes during storage and transit. Our thermal testing and conditioning services ensure your products maintain integrity and performance under these challenging conditions, protecting both product quality and regulatory compliance.
We replicate real-world temperature fluctuations to verify packaging durability and product protection under dynamic conditions.
Key Objectives:
- High & Low Temperature Exposure: Assess performance in extreme heat and cold.
- Rapid Thermal Transitions: Simulate sudden environmental changes during transport.
- Controlled Humidity Environments: Evaluate moisture impact on packaging and product stability.
Applications:
- Electronics and sensitive components
- Food and beverage packaging
- Pharmaceutical and biologics distribution
For temperature-sensitive products, insulation is critical. Using ASTM D3103, we measure the thermal resistance of packaging systems to confirm they meet cold-chain and heat-sensitive product requirements.
Benefits:
- Ensures compliance with FDA, WHO, and GDP guidelines for temperature-controlled goods
- Reduces risk of spoilage or degradation during transit
- Validates packaging for seasonal and geographic variability
Before performance testing, we condition packages according to ASTM D4332 standards to replicate actual distribution environments.
Key Features:
- Pre-Test Acclimation: Stabilizes packaging at target temperature and humidity.
- Seasonal Simulation: Mimics summer heat or winter cold conditions.
- Geographic Simulation: Accounts for regional climate variations during shipping.
For pharmaceuticals, biologics, and perishable goods, we validate packaging against strict thermal performance criteria to ensure compliance with industry and regulatory standards.
Validation Includes:
- Temperature mapping and monitoring
- Compliance with ISTA 7E, ISO 9001, and GDP requirements
- Risk assessment for thermal excursions during transit
