13 ista views • April 2017 • www.ista.org Change Made Corrected typo on test duration in Test Block 9 (Vibration - Random), on page 17 of 20, Step 2. Incorrectly printed as 30 minutes when should have been as 40 minutes. In Test Block 2, on page 7 of 10, Step 1 was corrected to state "Go to TEST BLOCK 3 (Vibration - Random)" rather than Test Block 2 as previously printed. Test Block 2, on page 7 of 8, Step 9 was corrected to state "Go to TEST BLOCK 4 (Shock)" rather than Test Block 3 as previously printed. Test Block 3, on page 7 of 10, Step 5 was corrected to state "Go to TEST BLOCK 4 (Shock)" rather than Test Block 3 as previously printed. Test Block 4, on page 8 of 10, Step 5 was corrected to state "Go to TEST BLOCK 5 (Shock)" rather than Test Block 4 as previously printed. NEW PROJECT: e-Commerce Fulfillment for Parcel Delivery Shipment Clamp Testing - Greater clarity on which faces should have clamp testing conducted. Previous TEST Block indicated that two axes needed clamp testing and this was modified to indicate that Clamp Testing is only required when that dimension, either Length and/or Width, is within the given parameters. Previous Statement on Clamp Testing: Horizontal compression (clamping simulation) tests are only required in certain situations as follows: 1. Clamp testing is required in two axes where the dimension is 24 in (610 mm) or greater and less than 75 in (1905 mm) 2. No clamping tests are required for Type A and Type F. New Statement on Clamp Testing: Horizontal compression (clamping simulation) tests are only required in certain situations as follows: 1. Clamp testing is required on the Length when the distance between Face 2 and 4 is between 24 in (610 mm) and 75 in (1905 mm). 2. Clamp testing is required on the Width when the distance between Face 5 and 6 is between 24 in (610 mm) and 75 in (1905 mm). 3. No clamping tests are required for Type A and Type F. Leak Testing - TEST Block 25 was added to challenge the seal integrity of test specimens that contain liquids. Minor editorial changes occurred to improve consistency across ISTA test procedures & projects. The original test was developed specifically to address Heavy & Bulky packaged- products greater than 70lbs. Since then the goal was amended to include all packaged-products that Ships-In-Own-Container (SIOC) from an Amazon.com fulfillment center. For this reason, the title was changed from "Project 6- Amazon.com-B, Heavy/Bulky Packaged-Products for Amazon.com Distribution System Shipment" to "Project 6-Amazon.com, Ships in Own Container (SIOC) for Amazon.com Distribution System Shipment." Additionally the scope and preface were updated to provide greater clarity of the tests intent. Due to the scope of the test being increased from Heavy/Bulky packaged-products over 70lbs to any packaged-product that will not be overpacked by Amazon a.k.a. Ships in Own Container (SIOC), several elements of the protocol were changed. The test type selection criteria was redefined to align with the new SIOC protocol scope change. Other changes included ... * Normalizing the hazard sequences to drive consistency across the different packaged-product test types and more closely align with the Amazon supply chain * Clamp Testing was changed from "Optional" to "Required" for five of the six packaged-product test types * Clamp Testing method was modified from clamp and hold to a clamp, lift 12 inches & then hold. * Rotational Drops were standardized to 9" from varying heights based upon weight and test sequence * Maximum compression requirements was reduced from 7,500lbs to 5,000lbs * Tip Over Testing is required on all four sides * Vibration duration was moved from distance traveled to a set duration of 80 minutes per side Procedure(s) Affected Project 3K Procedure 1E Project 6- Amazon.com - Over Boxing Project 6- Amazon.com - SIOC Project 6- Amazon.com - SIOC Project 6- Amazon.com - B Project 6- Amazon.com - B Type of Change Editorial Editorial NEW PROJECT Technical Editorial Editorial Technical Date of Change January 2017 January 2017 November 2016 May 2016 May 2016 March 2016 March 2016
