ISO 12048

Executing a Compression Test According to ISO 12048

Sample Conditioning
Before testing, condition the sample at 23°C and 50% relative humidity for at least 48 hours. This step ensures material consistency and reliability. 

테스트 설정
Place the filled packaging unit on the lower platen of the tester. The test can be performed until one of three outcomes is reached:

• A specified maximum load
• A set deformation threshold
• Package collapse or failure

데이터 수집 및 분석
Force-deformation data should be recorded continuously. After the test, report:

• Maximum compressive force (N or kN)
• 변형 비율
• Failure mode (rupture, collapse, etc.)

Such results help determine the pressure resistance of composite film packaging and structural limits of plastic bottles and medical packs.

Understanding ISO 12048 and Its Importance in Packaging Testing

ISO 12048 outlines procedures for assessing the 압축 강도 of filled transport packages. This standard helps manufacturers predict whether packaging can withstand vertical pressure during stacking, shipping, or storage. It’s particularly valuable in:

• Verifying protective capabilities of packaging for pharmaceutical and medical products
• Ensuring plastic infusion bottles don’t collapse under mechanical load
• Evaluating composite film packaging pressure resistance

Following ISO 12048 improves product safety, reduces packaging failure rates, and supports regulatory compliance, especially in sensitive sectors like pharmaceuticals and food.

Packaging Testing Instruments for ISO 12048 Compliance

To meet ISO 12048 standard, a 압축 테스터 must meet the following requirements:

• 힘의 정확도: Within ±2% of the indicated force
• Compression Speed: Maintain a constant rate of 10 ± 3 mm/min
• Platen Parallelism: Must be within 1:1000 tolerance
• 데이터 기록: Must record continuous force-deformation curves
• 안전 기능: Includes overload protection and liquid containment systems

Its PLC 제어 시스템, HMI touch interface, 그리고 customizable test modes (maximum bursting force and constant pressure) make it suitable for diverse packaging formats, including plastic infusion bottles 그리고 pharmaceutical packages.

Applications: Medical and Pharmaceutical Packaging Compression Tests

In medical and pharmaceutical industries, the packaging must preserve product sterility and prevent leakage or deformation. Compression testing according to ISO 12048 standard:

• Confirms the durability of plastic infusion bottles
• Verifies the structural integrity of blister packs and composite pouches
• Validates packaging solutions for transport stability 그리고 stacking safety
