- Quality Control Tests for Packaging Materials ensure strength, integrity, and compatibility by assessing parameters like tensile strength, thickness, and permeability.
- Quality Control Tests for Packaging Materials also check microbial contamination, chemical reactivity, and environmental stability to maintain product safety and compliance.
- Robust quality control (QC) testing is essential to ensure that packaging components meet the stringent requirements for pharmaceutical applications:
- To ensure safety and suitability, the following tests are conducted:
-
Glass
- Chemical Resistance Test: Measures resistance to alkali leaching.
- Thermal Shock Test: Assesses durability against sudden temperature changes.
-
Plastics
- Tensile Strength Test: Evaluates strength and flexibility.
- Permeability Test: Measures moisture and gas transmission rates.
- Extractables and Leachables Test: Identifies substances that may migrate into the drug.
-
Rubber
- Penetration Test: Assesses resealing ability after needle puncture.
- Compression Set Test: Evaluates elasticity after prolonged compression.
-
Aluminum Foil
- Pin Hole Test: Detects imperfections in the foil.
- Bursting Strength Test: Measures resistance to applied pressure.
-
Paper and Board
- Moisture Content Test: Determines resistance to environmental humidity.
- Tear Resistance Test: Evaluates durability under stress.
