ISTA has received a request for the creation of a test method(s) to address stability of a unitized load as well as concentrated impact forces exerted onto packaged-product shipments. The submitted proposal was approved by the ISTA Testing Council for consideration by the ISTA Test Series Group (consensus body).

As part of our established process for protocol creation and maintenance, an ad hoc workgroup is being formed to develop the draft documents for voting. For details on the test protocol request, please click the following link:
