Summary of ISTA 1G Package Integrity Testing

ISTA Test Procedure 1G covers testing of individual packaged-products weighing 150 pounds (68 kg) or less when prepared for shipment. There is one exception, which is Individual packaged-products on visible skid or pallet and that weigh more than 100 pounds (45 kg) may be tested according to Test Procedure 1E.

ISTA 1G is an integrity test for individual packaged-products. It can be used to evaluate the performance of packaged-products.
