January, 2008 In March 2007, gh Testing began
assisting a few customers with the new ISTA 4AB. This year, we
would like
to further promote ISTA 4AB, as well as ISTA 3A and 3B (when
it becomes available) by helping you develop a detailed test plan. This plan would be based on
how and where you ship your packaged product. This is currently at no cost to our customers, even
if you are not a member of ISTA! New customers would also receive this service, provided the gh Testing executes the
ISTA 4AB test plan. Following the testing, gh testing will provide you a detailed report, and possible recommendations for improving your pack.
gh Testing
is also in the process of setting up 4AB classes to show
our customers, and potential customers, how 4AB, and even ISTA 3A, can help reduce
damages and the over cost of goods sold!

June, 2006 - In
November of 2005, the DOT revised all third
party laboratory's Approvals to contain more
detailed report information along with some
additional materials analysis. At the end
of December, we sent out a letter to out clients
informing them of the revision. A
copy of the letter can be found
here.
A copy of our new Approval,
with package types for which we are approved to
certify, can
be found here.
We are currently
working toward better streamlining our UN - DOT
Performance oriented testing and reporting so
that our customer's lead time for testing will
dramatically drop. We measure our lead
time from when we receive the completed required
test
request form and sample packages for
testing, to when the report is sent out the
door. To better help expedite this
process, it is critical to get all required
information up front.
gh Testing
now fills all liquid packagings with the
exceptions being: packages that critical tools
necessary for closure such as heat seals,
induction seals, crimp tools, etc. All
packages will be verified for 98% gross fill
volume. Gross fill volume is the nominal
plus outage and any head space where liquid
can be filled.
Don't forget that we have moved!
The new building, located on Thunderbird Lane in Fairfield, Ohio, will provide better access for loading and unloading product. As with the current location, the new location is near the I-75 and I-275 interchange. Dayton, Columbus, Indianapolis, Northern Kentucky, and Louisville are a short drive away.
