ISTA International Transportation Safety test
[Project Introduction]
ISTA(International Safe Transit Association), namely the International Safe Transit Association, is an international non-profit organization. Its predecessor was NSTA - the National Safe Transit Association of the United States. Currently, there are hundreds of well-known freight companies and laboratories as members all over the world. It has always been committed to assisting members in developing effective packaging, methods, logistics systems, etc., to enhance the safety performance of product transportation and packaging, thereby preventing or reducing losses encountered during product transportation and handling. The organization has issued a series of standards as well as documents such as test procedures and test items, which serve as a unified basis for evaluating the safety performance of transport packaging. TTS has been certified by ISTA and can provide a series of transportation packaging testing and quality assessment services, and can issue formal packaging transportation test reports recognized by ISTA.
[Purpose of ISTA Test]
ISTA transportation testing offers you the following tangible benefits
(1) Reduce product damage and loss to ensure product value;
(2) Save distribution costs;
(3) Reduce and eliminate claim disputes;
(4) Shorten the time for packaging development and enhance market launch confidence;
(5) Enhance customer satisfaction and the market share of products.
