One of Europe's largest environmental-testing companies, TUV, offers a comprehensive battery of packaging tests.

Quote:
Range of tests on offer include:

* Random vibration testing to replicate the motion of product and packaging when being transported by road, sea or air
* Sinusoidal vibration testing across a broad range of frequencies, resonance and response measurements determined
* Shock testing with multi-channel data capture systems
* Compression testing to determine strength of packaging and ensure safety of stacked loads
* Side impact testing on all packaging - carton or palletised
* Tilt testing to evaluate stability (safety standards)
* Environmental stress testing to accelerate failure mechanisms including accelerated thermal cycling, temperature and humidity steady state or cycling
