The ASTM D4169-23 standard provides a detailed test specification for evaluating the performance of shipping containers and systems in the distribution environment. The standard provides guidance on how to use a uniform test methodology to represent actual distribution conditions, including the hazardous elements that shipping units may encounter during various distribution cycles. This practice is not meant to substitute material specifications or existing pre-shipment inspection procedures, but rather provides a consistent basis for shipping units in laboratories to evaluate their ability to withstand the environment during transportation. The testing covers multiple aspects such as compressire strength, Impact, watertightness, vibration, and more to ensure that Encasement can effectively protect its contents during transportation.
