Test Method Development
When standard tests are not pertinent Pira can develop bespoke methods and equipment including:
- Objective evaluation of materials, packaging and product performance
- Simulation of consumer handling and mimicking process situations
- Assessment and comparison of design/feature improvements
- Risk/safety concern assessments
- Tamper evidence assessments
- Testing of unusual materials unsuitable for standard tests
- Developing sample preparation techniques to allow use of standard methods
- Instrument design and fabrication
"Pira standard" tests developed as a result of test method development projects:
- Tamper evidence assessment
- Impact testing
- Constant acceleration stability assessment
