ISO 8767

The ISO 8767 standard, developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), establishes a procedure for drop testing filled paper sacks to determine their durability and resistance to impact during handling and transport. This test is crucial for manufacturers who need to ensure that their paper sacks are strong enough to protect the contents from damage during shipping and storage.

The main objective of ISO 8767 is to assess the ability of paper sacks to withstand drops from various heights and orientations, simulating the conditions these sacks might encounter during distribution. This test ensures that the paper sacks can handle the physical stresses of real-world handling, such as when they are dropped, loaded, or unloaded.

In the ISO 8767 test, a filled paper sack is subjected to a series of drop tests from specified heights. The sack is dropped in different positions, including flat, edge, and corner orientations, to provide a comprehensive evaluation of its strength and resistance to damage. After each drop, the sack is carefully inspected for tears, ruptures, or other forms of structural failure that could compromise its ability to protect the product inside.

Complying with ISO 8767 ensures that paper sacks used for packaging are capable of withstanding the impacts typically experienced during transportation. This helps reduce product loss and damage, resulting in fewer returns, lower shipping costs, and higher customer satisfaction. For industries that rely on paper sacks to transport goods like food, chemicals, or other granular materials, adhering to this standard is critical for maintaining product quality.
