ISO 11607 Packaging Performance under Thermal Stress Laboratory Testing Service

Provided by Eurolab: Ensuring Packaging Safety and Reliability

As a critical aspect of product safety and reliability, packaging performance testing is essential for industries such as pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and food. Among various testing services, ISO 11607 Packaging Performance under Thermal Stress testing stands out as a crucial evaluation method to ensure packaging integrity and safety. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the world of ISO 11607 testing, exploring its relevance, requirements, and benefits.

ISO 11607 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for packaging systems used for pharmaceutical articles to be packed under modified atmosphere or inert gas. The standard addresses the performance of packaging systems under thermal stress conditions, which includes exposure to temperature variations. This testing service assesses the ability of packaging materials to withstand environmental stresses and maintain their integrity during shipping, storage, and handling.

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 11607 testing is governed by international standards such as:

  • ISO 11607-1:2016 Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices Part 1: Requirements for materials, sterile barrier systems, and packaging systems
  • ISO 11607-2:2019 Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices Part 2: Validation requirements for forming, sealing, and testing procedures
  • National standards such as EN 868-5 (Packaging materials for medical use Part 5: Requirements for packaging materials used for the aseptic presentation of single-use medical devices) also play a crucial role in ensuring compliance.

    Standard development organizations like the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) contribute to the evolution of standards. New editions and revisions are published periodically, reflecting advancements in technology and changing regulatory requirements.
