Testing Standard:
ASTM F1886 Test Method for Determining Integrity of Seals for Flexible Packaging by Visual Inspection
Standard Number
ASTM F1886
Standard Title
Test Method for Determining Integrity of Seals for Flexible Packaging by Visual Inspection
Overview for ASTM F1886:
Rationale for ASTM F1886:
Test Method for Determining Integrity of Seals for Flexible Packaging by Visual Inspection. Is intended to provide a qualitative visual inspection method to evaluate the appearance characteristics of unopened, intact seals to indicate the presence of defects that will affect the integrity of packaging. Failures or defects in seals can be directly linked to a number of variables in the manufacturing process such as process parameters, equipment, material, and environmental (temperature and humidity). ASTM F1886 is usually conducted during the manufacturing process and at various stages of the package’s life cycle
Key Points:
- Evaluates the performance of seals in medical packaging to determine if there are inconsistencies during the manufacturing process
- Serves as a non-destructive test that provides a qualitative visual inspection
- Use ISO 11607-1 with this test method to set validation standards
