17 ista views • July 2017 • www.ista.org Orientation - The Identification of Faces, Edges and Corners section on page 12 of 35 was amended to account for the worst case scenario and "Most Stable Orientation" was made the primary means of identifying the faces, edges and corners of the packaged-product. The alternate option which was previously "Most Stable Orientation" became "Intended Shipping Orientation." Top-Load - On page 16 of 35 in the Before You Begin Vibration Testing section, the top-load maximum weight of 600lbs was eliminated. Shock - Clarification to the wording within Test Block 16 & 18 was added to ensure that the "largest face" receives the intended impact as face numberings can change based upon orientations determined at the beginning of the procedure - Most Stable or Intended Shipping. Top-Load - Illustrations and enhanced verbiage were added to the Before You Begin Vibration Testing section to clarify how the top-load is to be applied on the test specimen as well as what the top-load is attempting to account for in the real world. Shock - In Test Block 16, on page 33 of 35, the wording for Package Type was amended to improve consistency across ISTA test procedures & projects (from Standard to Standard-Elongated & from Cylinder to Cylinder-Elongated). The same consistency was applied to Test Block 17. TECHNICAL March 2017 ISTA 3B Packaged-Products for Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) Shipment EDITORIAL March 2017 Compression - Machine Apply and Hold as well as Weight and Load Spreader were added as additional options for conducting the compression sequence, Test Block 2. Vibration - A height limitation on stacked vibration was incorporated into Test Block 4 to enhance the procedures ability to correlate to real world scenarios. Title, Scope and Preface were enhanced to reduce confusion on intent of the testing procedure and improve consistency across ISTA test procedures & projects. TECHNICAL March 2017 ISTA 3F Packaged-Products in Mixed Pallet Loads for Regional Shipment 100lb (45 kg) or Less EDITORIAL March 2017 Enhanced formatting of the "Test Sequence" table, specifically the Sequence #3, to reduce confusion on alternative methods and to improve consistency across ISTA test procedures & projects. EDITORIAL January 2017 ISTA 1C Extended Testing for Packaged-Products 150 lb (68 kg) or Less 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. EDITORIAL January 2017 PROJECT ISTA 3K Fast Moving Consumer Goods in the European Retail Supply Chain 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 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. EDITORIAL January 2017 ISTA 1E Unitized Loads of Same Product ISTA has received a request for the development of an Intermodal test procedure. The submitted proposal was approved by the ISTA Testing Council for consideration by the ISTA Test Series Group (consensus body). As part of our established process for protocol creation and maintenance, an ad hoc workgroup is being formed to develop the draft documents for voting. For details on the procedure change request, please the ISTA website at www.ista.org. If you are interested in participating in the workgroup and contributing to the development of the draft documents for this proposal, please contact Eric Hiser at EHiser@ISTA.org.
