Ensure your sterile barrier systems and medical device packaging meet global regulatory standards. Our ISO 11607 and ASTM D4169-compliant testing services help you achieve safety, compliance, and market readiness.

Why Medical Device Packaging Testing Matters

  • Protects patient safety by maintaining sterile integrity
  • Required for FDA, EU MDR, and global regulatory compliance
  • Prevents costly recalls and delays in product launch
  • Supports sustainability and optimized packaging design

Key Standards

ISO 11607

  • Governs packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices
  • Requires:
    • Performance testing (transport simulation, aging)
    • Stability testing (shelf-life validation)
    • Seal integrity and strength testing
  • Mandatory for CE marking and FDA clearance

ASTM D4169

  • Distribution simulation for medical device packaging
  • Includes:
    • Drop, vibration, compression, and atmospheric conditioning
    • Hazard level selection based on shipping environment
  • Often combined with ISO 11607 for full compliance
