MET is an ISTA certified laboratory

MET Labs is certifed by ISTA for the full ISTA's TRANSIT TESTED packaging test program, made up of the following procedures:

Procedure: 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, 1G, 1H, 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, 3C, 3D, 3E, 3F, 3H, 5B, 7A, 7B, 7C, 7D
Laboratory Classification: COMMERCIAL

These procedures challenge the test package model to:

• environmental stresses such as temperature, humidity and altitude
• physical stresses such as drops, compression and transport vibration
  

MET can also create customized test plans, tailored from ISTA procedures, to meet specific test goals of the manufacturer, with pre-defined pass/fail criteria.

MET's rich range of environmental capabilities can be used to evaluate packaging outside of the scope of ISTA, limited perhaps only by imagination. Salt-fog testing, solar radiation, fungus testing, are just a few examples of more exotic testing associated with meeting MIL-STD requirements.

MET can test to ASTM D-4169 and NSTA Drop and Vibration test criteria.

Packaging testing is an extremely useful cost saving procedure. Assuring your package model does what it needs to, before a massive manufacturing run, makes good sense.
