ASTM Testing
Standardized testing methods developed by ASTM International for evaluating container performance and safety.
ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) testing refers to standardized test methods used to evaluate container performance, material properties, and safety. Key ASTM standards for pails include D4169 (shipping container performance), D2463 (drop impact resistance), and D642 (compressive strength). ASTM testing ensures containers meet industry performance benchmarks and provides a common language for comparing products across manufacturers.
