What is ISTA testing?

ISTA (International Safe Transit Association) is an international non-profit organization. Its predecessor was NSTA-National Safe Transport Association. At present, members in the world have hundreds of well-known freight companies and laboratory. It has been committed to assisting members in developing effective packaging, methods, logistics systems, etc. to improve the safety performance of product transportation packaging, thereby preventing or reducing product losses during transportation and handling. The organization has issued a series of standards and documents such as test procedures and test items as a unified basis for evaluating the safety performance of transport packaging. TTS has obtained ISTA certification, can provide a series of transportation packaging testing and quality assessment services, and can issue ISTA approved official packaging and transportation test reports.

ISTA test purpose

ISTA transport tests provide you with the following tangible benefits

(1) Reduce product damage and loss to ensure product value;

(2) Save distribution costs;

(3) reduce and eliminate claims disputes;

(4) shorten the development time of packaging and enhance market confidence;

(5) Improve customer satisfaction and product market share.
