ISO 2234

Test Materials: ISO 2234 specifies the use of standard packaging materials such as corrugated board, wooden pallets, or plastic containers for stacking tests. The test is typically applied to packaging units like boxes or crates designed for stacking in storage or transportation conditions.
Test Process: The stacking test involves placing a load of defined weight on top of the test specimen. The static load is applied for a set duration to simulate real-life stacking scenarios. The test ensures that packaging can withstand the pressure without failure.
Test Result Interpretation: The results are evaluated based on whether the packaging maintains its structural integrity under the applied load. Deformation, collapse, or other forms of damage indicate failure, while minimal or no change in the packaging confirms its adequacy for handling static loads.
