ASTM D829 Seal Strength Testing of Flexible Packaging: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

The ASTM D829 test method is a widely accepted standard for evaluating the seal strength of flexible packaging materials. This testing service is essential in ensuring the quality and performance of packaging products, particularly in industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

ASTM D829 is governed by various international and national standards organizations, including:

  • ASTM International (American Society for Testing and Materials)

  • ISO (International Organization for Standardization)

  • EN (European Norm)

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution)

    • These standards dictate the requirements and guidelines for seal strength testing of flexible packaging materials. Complying with these regulations is crucial to ensure product safety, quality, and regulatory compliance.

    Standard Development Organizations

    Standard development organizations play a significant role in creating and updating industry standards. Notable organizations include:

  • ASTM International

  • ISO

  • CEN (European Committee for Standardization)

  • JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards)

    • These organizations work collaboratively to develop and maintain standards that cater to the needs of various industries.

    International and National Standards

    The following standards are relevant to ASTM D829 Seal Strength Testing of Flexible Packaging:

  • ASTM D829-15: Standard Test Method for Peel Resistance of Pressure-Sensitive Tapes

  • ISO 22088-1:2010: Flexible barrier materials and structures for packaging Part 1: General requirements

  • EN 1464:2005: Sealing properties of flexible films

    • These standards outline the specific requirements and test conditions for seal strength testing.

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    Industry-specific compliance requirements dictate that manufacturers adhere to relevant standards, including ASTM D829. Failure to comply can result in regulatory fines, product recalls, or even business closure.

    Business and Technical Reasons for Conducting ASTM D829 Seal Strength Testing of Flexible Packaging
