How do the tests work?
With the objective of analyzing the performance of the packages, as well as guaranteeing that they meet the respective normative requirements, the tests performed by SCiTec aim to evaluate the integrity, resistance, and stability of the packages, as well as the products, in such a way as to supply data that allows the industries to guarantee greater quality and safety to their clients.
- Migration Tests
- Shelf Life
- Mandatory requirements
- Resistance to transportation
- Packaging optimization
- Accelerated conditioning
- Suitability for the distribution cycle
