ASTM D6575 Compression Testing of Corrugated Board: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

The ASTM D6575 compression testing of corrugated board is a widely recognized laboratory test that evaluates the compressive strength and stiffness of corrugated board packaging materials. The standard is developed by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and is used globally to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, quality standards, and industry best practices.

International and National Standards

The ASTM D6575 compression testing of corrugated board is based on various international and national standards, including:

  • ISO 3036:2011 Packaging Corrugated fibreboard boxes Specifications for packaging

  • EN 13545:2013 Corrugated boxboards Determination of compressive crush resistance

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) TS 1325:2014 Corrugated board packaging materials

    • These standards specify the requirements for corrugated board packaging materials, including compressive strength, stiffness, and crush resistance.

    Standard Development Organizations

    The standard development organizations responsible for developing and maintaining these standards include:

  • ASTM International (formerly known as American Society for Testing and Materials)

  • ISO (International Organization for Standardization)

  • EN (European Committee for Standardization)

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution)

    • These organizations work together to ensure that the standards are globally harmonized, reducing the need for multiple testing and certification procedures.

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    The ASTM D6575 compression testing of corrugated board is a requirement for various industries, including:

  • Packaging: Corrugated board packaging materials must meet regulatory requirements, such as those set by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA).

  • Food and Beverage: Corrugated board packaging materials used in food and beverage applications must comply with regulations, such as those set by the U.S. FDA.

  • Automotive: Corrugated board packaging materials used in automotive applications must meet regulatory requirements, such as those set by the European Unions General Safety Regulation.

    • Standard Evolution and Updates

    Standards evolve over time to reflect changes in technology, consumer needs, and industry best practices. The ASTM D6575 compression testing of corrugated board has undergone several updates since its initial publication in 2000. The latest revision (ASTM D6575-18) reflects changes in testing equipment, methodologies, and quality control procedures.

    Industry-Specific Examples and Case Studies

    Examples of industries that require the ASTM D6575 compression testing of corrugated board include:

  • E-commerce: Online retailers use corrugated board packaging materials to ship products safely and efficiently.

  • Automotive: Manufacturers use corrugated board packaging materials to protect components during transportation.

    • Case studies demonstrate the benefits of performing this test, including improved product safety, reduced costs, and increased customer satisfaction.

    Testing Equipment and Instruments

    The ASTM D6575 compression testing of corrugated board requires specialized equipment, including:

  • Compression test machines (e.g., Instron)

  • Data acquisition systems (e.g., National Instruments)

  • Temperature control units (e.g., Thermo Scientific)

    • Test Procedure

    The test procedure involves the following steps:

    1. Prepare the corrugated board specimen according to ASTM D6575-18.

    2. Install the specimen in the compression test machine.

    3. Apply compressive force to the specimen at a controlled rate of 2 mm/min (0.079 in/min).

    4. Record the compressive strength and stiffness of the specimen.

    Quality Control Procedures

    Quality control procedures include:

  • Calibration of testing equipment

  • Validation of test methods

  • Regular maintenance of testing equipment

    • Industry-Specific Requirements

    Industry-specific requirements for the ASTM D6575 compression testing of corrugated board include:

  • E-commerce: Online retailers may require more frequent testing due to changing product offerings and shipping conditions.

  • Automotive: Manufacturers may require specialized testing procedures and equipment to accommodate specific packaging materials.
