ISTA 3E - Unitized Loads of same products vibration test - Micom Laboratories

ISTA 3E is a unitized load of the same product test. It is used for simulating shipping environments for pallet shippers. Micom offers ISTA 3E testing as part of our Package testing services. We can test pallets up to 60” by 96” and 5,000 lbs.
ISTA 3E - Random Vibration Test
Unitized Loads of the same product call for a complete test sequence including a random vibration test.
While testing to ISTA 3E, the package and product are considered together and not separately, i.e.: they both need to be tested together. Some conditions of transit, such as moisture, pressure.
ISTA 3E requires a minimum of 1 sample to be tested. For final packaging design purposes a higher number of samples is recommended; ideally 5 or more. However only testing one is mandatory to establish compliance.
Should you wish to have a more specific test, our services can be as specific as recording vibrations and shocks on actual shipments and then reproducing them in our laboratory under controlled yet accelerated conditions.
The video below shows the ISTA 3E test that simulates vibrations caused by transportation on product pallets.
