Diese Internationale Norm beschreibt ein Verfahren für die Prüfung der Widerstandsfähigkeit gegen Kompression von versandfertigen Packstücken und Stückgütern und eine Methode zur Durchführung einer Stapelprüfung an versandfertigen Packstücken und Stückgütern unter Verwendung desselben Prüfgerätes. Die Prüfung dient dazu, die Festigkeit der Packstückes oder das Schutzvermögen des Packgutes unter komprimierender Belastung zu überprüfen.
Emballages - Emballages d'expédition complets et pleins - Essais de compression et de gerbage a l'aide d'une machine d'essai de compression (ISO 12048:1994)
La présente Norme internationale prescrit une méthode d'essai permettant de déterminer la résistance à la compression des emballages d'expédition complets et pleins et une méthode d'essai de gerbage des emballages d'expédition complets et pleins à l'aide du même appareillage. Un tel essai peut être utilisé pour évaluer les caractéristiques d'un emballage en termes de résistance ou de la protection qu'il offre à son contenu lorsqu'il est soumis à des forces de compression. Il peut être effectué comme essai simple dans le but d'examiner les effets (déformation, affaissement ou rupture) de la compression ou du gerbage, ou peut faire partie d'une série d'essais destinés à mesurer la résistance d'un emballage dans un système de distribution qui comprend un risque de compression ou de gerbage. Cet essai peut également être utilisé comme essai de gerbage pour déterminer le comportement d'un emballage placé dans des conditions particulières, comme lorsque l'emballage inférieur d'un empilement repose sur une palette à claire-voie.

Overview
SIST EN ISO 12048:2002 is an international standard developed by CEN that specifies methods for testing the compression resistance and stacking strength of complete, filled transport packages using a compression tester. This standard aims to evaluate package performance under compressive forces, ensuring the protection of contents during handling, storage, and transport. The standard applies to various packaging types and provides practical guidelines for reproducible testing to simulate real-life distribution conditions.
This testing method supports manufacturers, packers, and quality control professionals in verifying the integrity and durability of transport packages, helping to reduce product damage and optimize logistics efficiency.
Key Topics
Compression Testing Method
EN ISO 12048 establishes a procedure where a filled transport package is placed between the platens of a motor-driven compression tester. A load is applied either until package failure or until reaching a specific load or displacement value, to assess package strength.Stacking Test Procedure
The standard also describes stacking tests using the same compression tester. Here, a predetermined static load is applied for a defined period or until the package fails, simulating typical warehouse or transport stacking conditions.Test Apparatus Specifications
The compression tester shall be platen-type, motor-driven, and capable of uniform movement at specified speeds (around 10 mm/min). Platens must be flat, rigid, and dimensioned to cover the entire test surface of the package without deforming.Package Preparation and Conditioning
Testing must use completed packages filled with intended or simulated contents. Packages are conditioned according to ISO 2233 to ensure tests reflect actual environmental influences such as temperature and humidity.Test Reporting Requirements
The standard details essential reporting elements including package description, test method used, conditioning parameters, load and deformation data, and any deviations or observations. This ensures consistent documentation and reliable comparisons.
Applications
Quality Control in Packaging Manufacturing
Enables manufacturers to verify packaging designs meet specified strength and stacking performance criteria to withstand transport stresses.Logistics and Distribution Optimization
Helps logistics providers assess packaging robustness in pallet stacking and handling scenarios, minimizing product damage and losses.Compliance and Regulatory Assurance
Organizations can use this standardized test method to comply with industry regulations and customer requirements related to packaging durability.Packaging Design and Development
Useful during prototype testing and development phases to quantitatively measure improvements or weaknesses in packaging solutions.

Describes alternative stacking test methods for filled transport packages utilizing static load applications.Other CEN and ISO Packaging Standards
EN ISO 12048 complements other international standards focused on transport packaging performance, marking, and testing to support comprehensive quality assurance.
SIST EN ISO 12048:2002 is a critical tool for ensuring the integrity of filled transport packages against compression and stacking forces during distribution. Its standardized methods promote consistency, safety, and efficiency in packaging testing worldwide.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national Standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of
preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Esch member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be
represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an international
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard ISO 10248 was prepared by Technical Committee
lSO/TC 122, Packaging, Subcommittee SC 3, Pen ’ormance requirements
and tests.
This first edition cancels and replaces ISO 2872:1985 and ISO 2874:I 974,
which have been technically revised.
