When it comes to packaging and transportation, ensuring safety and quality is always a top priority. The MAX range of waterproof cases has been awarded a range of certifications that exceed basic industry standards. However, what do these certifications truly signify and how do they impact the product’s performance and dependability? Let’s explore this further.
The IP67 certification adheres to the IEC 60529 standard, which outlines the levels of safeguarding against dust and water. The numeral “6” signifies that the MAX cases are completely shielded from dust, as proven by vacuum dust penetration tests conducted in a designated “Dust room” for a duration of 8 hours. The “7” denotes that the product can endure being submerged in water up to 1 meter for a period of 30 minutes without any water or moisture entering the case.
The ATA 300 Cat. 1 certification guarantees that the MAX cases have successfully completed demanding assessments such as the ” Drop Test ” (280 drops) and the ” Impact Test ” in which a 6 kg dart is released into the case from a distance of 0.5 meters. This confirms that the case is able to endure typical impacts during air transportation, including the processes of loading and unloading, as well as fluctuations in atmospheric pressure for up to 100 round trips.
The certification for UN4H2 is in accordance with the UN regulations for the transportation of dangerous materials, following the guidelines provided by the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, specifically in Part III, Subsection 38.3. This includes thermal and Stacking tests, ensuring the safety of transporting lithium batteries and other sensitive substances, such as:
• UN3480 Unpackaged lithium-ion batteries (e.g. battery and battery charger)
• UN3481 Lithium-ion batteries packed with equipment
• UN3490 Unpackaged lithium metal batteries
• UN3491 Lithium metal batteries packed with equipment (e.g. battery and battery charger)
These accreditations adhere to the quality and resilience standards of NATO AQAP 1 and 4. The evaluations consist of drop tests in both vertical and horizontal directions, as well as tests for withstanding extreme temperatures and vibrations in accordance with DEF STAN, STANAG, and MIL STR 810G Mthd 514.6 (vibration) and Mthd 516.6 (drop). Additionally, MIL STD 810G Mthd 508.06 (Fungus) and Mthd 504.1 (Contamination fluid) incorporate supplementary assessments, such as resistance to mould, fungus, and contaminating fluids, as per the specifications of MIL-STD-810G.
