Applus+ Laboratories, through its French subsidiary Applus+ Rescoll, have strengthened its laboratory infrastructure with the installation of a new high‑capacity hydraulic vibration table. This strategic investment expands and enhances our company’s transport testing services in compliance with ASTM D4169 and ISTA standards, further reinforcing Applus+ Laboratories’ position as a trusted partner for packaging and logistics validation.
The new equipment enables more accurate reproduction of real‑world conditions encountered by products and packaging throughout the distribution chain, delivering highly representative simulations of multimodal transport environments.
The hydraulic vibration table features a 122 × 122 cm test surface, and a frequency range from 1 to 200 Hz, allowing simulation of transport conditions by road, rail, air, and sea. It also supports the combination of vibration and shock testing within a single test protocol, providing more comprehensive and realistic assessments aligned with actual distribution scenarios.
The system accurately simulates the full range of stresses experienced by products and packaging during distribution, including:
The objective is to ensure packaging reliability, protect product integrity, and accelerate approval and qualification processes for manufacturers.
This investment further strengthens Applus+ Laboratories’ ability to deliver end‑to‑end transport simulation services, fully managed in‑house—from protocol selection and test execution to standards‑compliant reporting in accordance with ASTM and ISTA requirements.
Industries benefiting from this enhanced capability include:
Integrated within an ISO/IEC 17025 (COFRAC) accredited laboratory environment, the new hydraulic vibration table enables:
This new capability reinforces Applus+ Laboratories’s position as a testing partner for evaluating packaging performance in accordance with applicable transport standards.
