Distribution Testing

Contact us

No matter how or where your device is shipped, it is important to ensure your product will survive the rigours of being transported around the world.

At our state-of-the-art package testing laboratory, Eurofins Medical Device Testing performs ASTM D4169, ASTM D7386, and ISTA 1, 2, & 3 series distribution testing, as well as custom programmes to evaluate the stresses of transporting your medical device. We can simulate stacking, dropping, and vibrating of the shipper associated with distribution testing, as well as pressure and altitude changes associated with air or high-altitude transportation. 

Eurofins Medical Device Testing network of laboratories can also evaluate the labels on your device to avoid the impacts of label degradation that can occur during transit or any impact on seal integrity for your packaging or combination product after distribution testing.

Choose Eurofins Medical Device Testing to help you:

  • Validate your shipping configurations will withstand the rigours of global transit.
  • Confirm your labels conform to UDI regulations and remain readable through your entire distribution channel.
  • Assess the robustness of your labels to verify that your barcodes will remain readable after being subjected to the stresses of shipping.
  • Ensure the seal of your packaging system does not change after exposure to environmental stressors (distribution or shelf life).
