What is the purpose of temperature and climate testing as part of transport simulation?
This type of testing focuses on the resilience of packaging systems during transport. The aim is to ensure that products remain protected during regional or global shipping, even in extreme climatic conditions.
The primary concern here is not the resilience of the product itself, but rather whether the packaging can withstand heat, cold or moisture and deliver the product to its destination intact. Can the packaging withstand heat, cold or moisture and deliver the product to its destination intact?
What happens during a temperature and climate test in a transport simulation?
The packaging and its contents are exposed to the stresses that can occur during transportation in powerful temperature and climate chambers. These include:
- Temperature cycles due to changes in climate zones or day and night
- High humidity in tropical regions
- Dry heat in desert regions and extreme cold
- Condensation effects that occur when switching between warm and cold environments.
The results show whether the packaging provides sufficient insulation and keeps the contents dry, enabling it to withstand transport and storage conditions without compromising product safety.
In which areas are temperature and climate tests used?
These tests are particularly relevant in the field of packaging safety.
Typical areas of application include:
- Automotive and mechanical engineering: – damage-free transport of spare parts and components;
- Food industry: Preventing quality loss due to climatic influences during refrigerated or long-distance transport.
- Medical technology: Ensuring medical products arrive at their destination damage-free.
Standards: ISTA-Serie, ASTM F2825, ASTM D4332, DIN EN ISO 2233
