Dangerous Goods

Dangerous goods certification depends on the right frameworks, tests, and documentation. Tell us what you're shipping and we'll build the scope.

Medical Device

We test sterile barrier systems, seal integrity, and package performance to ISO 11607 and ASTM standards, producing the documented results FDA submissions require.

Distribution

We test shipping configurations from parcel to crated freight across all transport modes, using ISTA, ASTM D4169, and Amazon APASS protocols.

Environmental

Our 40+ environmental chambers reach -70°C to 70°C, testing packaging against extreme temperature cycling, and relative humidity.

Pharmaceutical

Our DEA Controlled Substance Registration lets us test packaging for Schedule I through V substances, a credential held by a limited number of accredited testing laboratories in the United States.

Cold Chain

We validate insulated shippers and thermal transport packaging to ISTA 7D and ISTA 7E, supporting pharmaceutical, medical device, and food and beverage clients.
