Test to evaluate the ability of the enclosure to prevent the ingress of chemical contaminants. The aim is to ensure that neither the enclosure nor the component contained within it is damaged by chemical influences.

Test to simulate the aging of components under combined climatic influences. The test object is exposed to changing temperature and humidity conditions in order to evaluate its long-term durability.

Targeted simulation of climatic influences to which packaging, containers or packaging components may be exposed during storage, transportation and distribution. The test sample is stored in a climate chamber under defined temperature and humidity conditions for a specified period of time in order to simulate real environmental conditions such as cold, heat, high humidity or dryness. The aim is to realistically evaluate the effects of these influences on the material and protective function of the packaging and to create a reliable starting point for all subsequent stress tests.

Conditioning of the packaging under defined temperature and humidity conditions before the stress tests. In this way, possible changes in the packaging properties due to climatic influences are realistically taken into account and the starting point for the subsequent tests is created.

As part of this test, the completely filled packaging is specifically exposed to defined temperature and humidity conditions before subsequent stress tests. The test sample is placed in a climate chamber and conditioned for a defined period of time under atmospheric conditions that correspond to real transportation and storage environments. This ensures that possible changes to the packaging properties due to climatic influences, such as moisture absorption or material embrittlement, are realistically taken into account.
