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.
