ISTA
We are an ISTA certified lab (International Safe Transit Association).
ISTA test procedures help to simulate the distribution environment. Four basic categories of hazards exist in distribution: Shock, Vibration, Compression, and Atmospheric impacts (via stacking, handling, transportation, atmospheric conditions).
More info can be found about testing guidelines here: https://ista.org/testing_guidelines.php
