The ISTA 3A test is a package integrity test used to evaluate the ability of a packaged product to withstand shocks and vibrations during transportation. This test is conducted by subjecting the packaged product to a series of drops and vibrations, simulating the conditions it may experience during transportation. The test is designed to ensure that the packaged product will arrive at its destination without damage. The ISTA 3A test is commonly used for products that are fragile or sensitive to shocks and vibrations, such as electronics, glassware, and medical devices.
