ISO 16195 Compression Testing of Paper Packaging: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

Standard-Related Information

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has published several standards related to paper packaging compression testing. One such standard is ISO 16195, which provides a method for determining the compressibility and resistance to crushing of paper-based materials.

ISO 16195 is an international standard that applies to all types of paper-based packaging materials, including corrugated boxes, folding cartons, and paper bags. The standard specifies the test conditions, equipment, and procedures for measuring the compression behavior of these materials under various loading conditions.

In addition to ISO 16195, other relevant standards include:

  • ASTM D642 (Standard Test Method for Determining Compressive Resistance of Corrugated Fiberboard)

  • EN 12960 (Corrugated fibreboard - Compressibility test method)

  • TSE 1097 (Packaging materials - Corrugated boxes - Compression test)

    • These standards are developed and published by various organizations, including:

  • ISO (International Organization for Standardization)

  • ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials)

  • EN (European Committee for Standardization)

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution)

    • The development of these standards is a continuous process that involves input from industry experts, regulatory bodies, and other stakeholders. The evolution of standards ensures that they remain relevant to the changing needs of industries and users.

    Standard Requirements and Needs

    ISO 16195 compression testing of paper packaging is required by various industries and sectors, including:

  • Packaging manufacturers

  • Logistics and transportation companies

  • Retailers and e-commerce platforms

  • Government agencies responsible for product safety and regulatory compliance

    • The business and technical reasons for conducting this test are numerous. Some of the key benefits include:

  • Ensuring product safety and reliability

  • Complying with regulatory requirements and standards

  • Reducing damage and losses during transportation

  • Improving packaging design and optimization

  • Enhancing customer satisfaction and trust

    • Failure to perform this test can result in costly consequences, including:

  • Product damage and loss of business

  • Non-compliance with regulations and standards

  • Safety risks for consumers and workers

  • Negative impact on brand reputation and market positioning

    • Test Conditions and Methodology

    The ISO 16195 compression testing process involves the following steps:

    1. Sample preparation: The paper packaging material is cut into specific dimensions and prepared according to the standards requirements.

    2. Equipment setup: The testing equipment, including a compression tester and load cells, is set up according to the standards specifications.

    3. Test procedure: The sample is loaded onto the compression tester, and the machine applies a controlled compressive force until the material reaches its ultimate strength or fails.

    4. Data collection: The test results are recorded using a data acquisition system, including parameters such as compression force, displacement, and time.

    The testing equipment used for ISO 16195 compression testing includes:

  • Compression testers (e.g., Brugger K2400)

  • Load cells

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

    • The testing environment requires specific conditions, including:

  • Temperature: 23C 2C

  • Humidity: 50 10

  • Pressure: 101.3 kPa 5

    • Test Reporting and Documentation

    The test results are documented in a comprehensive report that includes:

  • Test summary and description

  • Sample details (material, dimensions, weight)

  • Testing conditions (temperature, humidity, pressure)

  • Results (compression force, displacement, time)

  • Interpretation of results

    • The reporting format and structure comply with international standards for laboratory testing, including ISO/IEC 17025. The report is issued to the client in electronic format, along with a signed certificate of calibration.
