ASTM D7860 − 14 Measurement of Torque Retention for Child Resistant and Non-Child Resistant Packages with Continuous Thread Closures Using Automated Torque Testing Equipment

ASTM D7860 − 14; Standard Test Methods for Measurement of Torque Retention for Child Resistant and Non-Child Resistant Packages with Continuous Thread Closures Using Automated Torque Testing Equipment

Measuring the torque retention of continuous thread Type I and Type II closures with matching finishes

ASTM D2063 D2063M − 10 (Reapproved 2012) Standard Test Methods for Measurement of Torque Retention for Packages with Continuous Thread Closures Using Non-Automated (Manual) Torque Testing Equipment

ASTM D2063 D2063M − 10 (2012) Standard Test Methods for Measurement of Torque Retention for Packages with Continuous Thread Closures Using Non-Automated (Manual) Torque Testing Equipment

Measuring the torque retention of continuous thread closures with matching finishes

These ASTM test methods evaluate the torque retention of continuous thread closures on containers, with matching finishes, for predetermined environmental conditions over time. These methods do not cover CRCs and require non-automated torque measuring instruments.

USP 381 US Pharmacopeial Convention - General chapter <381> Elastomeric Closures for Injections

USP 381 US Pharmacopeial Convention - General chapter <381> Elastomeric Closures for Injections

Penetrability (functionality) testing to USP 381

USP 671 US Pharmacopeial Convention - General chapter <671> Containers - Performance Testing

USP 671 US Pharmacopeial Convention - General chapter <671> Containers  - Performance Testing

Preparing samples for testing to USP  671

USP 671 provides standards for the functional properties of packaging systems used for pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements.  Mecmesin torque testers or torque testing systems can be used to secure closures to the torque specified in the standard.  The performance testing of the samples requires other apperatus not supplied by Mecmesin.

ASTM D3472-97 (2002) Standard test method for reverse-ratchet torque of type 1A child-resistant closures

ASTM D 3472-97 (2002) Standard test method for reverse-ratchet torque of type 1A child-resistant closures

Measuring the reverse-ratchet torque on type 1A child-resistant closures

NOTE: Withdrawn standard, no replacement (January 2016)

This ASTM test method measures the torque developed when type 1A child-resistant closures are rotated counter-clockwise. Type 1A closures are reclosable continuous threaded containers that use a random push down while turning: no orientation of the push down force is necessary
