ISO 7965-1

The ISO 7965-1 standard, developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), outlines the method for conducting drop tests on sacks to determine their ability to withstand the rigors of handling, transport, and storage. This standard is essential for manufacturers of packaging sacks, as it evaluates the strength and durability of these materials when subjected to drops and impacts that commonly occur during logistics operations.

The primary objective of ISO 7965-1 is to assess the structural integrity of sacks, ensuring they can protect their contents under real-world conditions. The test simulates the stresses encountered during transportation, especially in scenarios where sacks are stacked, handled by machines, or accidentally dropped. By conducting this test, manufacturers can ensure that their sacks are robust enough to handle the challenges of distribution without compromising the product inside.

In the ISO 7965-1 test, sacks are filled with their intended contents or equivalent substitutes and then subjected to drop tests from predetermined heights. The sacks are dropped in different orientations to mimic actual handling conditions. After each drop, the sacks are inspected for damage, such as ruptures or tears, which could compromise the integrity of the product within. This test helps to identify weaknesses in the packaging design and provides crucial information for making improvements.

Compliance with ISO 7965-1 ensures that packaging sacks are durable and reliable, minimizing the risk of product damage during transit. This standard is especially important for industries that deal with heavy or fragile goods, as it helps maintain product quality and reduces the costs associated with damaged goods and returns.
