Packaging System Accelerated Aging Studies

Packaging System Accelerated Aging Studies

Before your product can enter the market with a defined shelf life claim, you must demonstrate that the packaging system will maintain its sterile barrier throughout that period. IETQAN conducts Accelerated Aging Studies using the industry-recognised ASTM F1980 method, enabling you to establish validated shelf life data in a fraction of the time required by real-time testing alone. Our accelerated aging programme includes the following tests:

• Accelerated Aging of Sterile Barrier Systems and Medical Devices (ASTM F1980).
• Seal Strength of Flexible Barrier Materials (ASTM F88).
• Detecting Seal Leaks in Porous Medical Packaging by Dye Penetration (ASTM F1929).
• Determining Integrity of Seals for Flexible Packaging by Visual Inspection (ASTM F1886).
• Detecting Leaks in Nonporous Packaging or Flexible Barrier Materials by Dye Penetration (ASTM F3039).

We ensure that accelerated-time aging is also conducted to produce accurate results that are in compliance with ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited Service and industry standards.
