Test Methods for Sterile Medical Device Package - Part 16:
Test for Climatic Stressing of Packaging System
1 Scope
This Part of YY/T 0681 specifies the unified benchmark for evaluating the capability of the
sterile medical device packaging system to protect the product from damage or change under
the climatic stressing that the sterile medical device packaging system may withstand during
the circulation cycle in the laboratory.
This Part is applicable as an independent test for evaluating the climatic resilience of the
packaging system; it is also applicable as a method of conditioning the packaging system as a
single package before the test required for overnight or two-day supply.
This Part does not apply to the climatic resilience test of refrigerated, frozen or low-temperature
storage and transportation packaging systems.
2 Terms and Definitions
The following terms and definitions are applicable to this document.
2.1 Climatic Stressing
Expose the test sample of the packaging system to temperature and humidity conditions for a
specified period of state adjustment, thereby simulating the expected storage and circulation
system conditions.
3 Overview
The devices transported in the circulation environment (regardless of the mode of transportation)
will experience various climatic and physical environments when they are transported to
various places (especially import and export) during various time periods of the year. This Part
is designed to provide guidelines for the establishment of climate stressing on the packaging
system due to climatic conditions and durations that may be encountered during transportation,
so as to evaluate the capability of packaging to protect the contents or devices during circulation.
4 Significance and Application
This Part provides a method of state adjustment of the packaging system with the climatic
conditions that occur in the actual circulation process. The recommended exposure levels are
based on available information on transportation, handling and storage environment, current
industrial practices and published studies, etc. These conditions are not absolute extremes, but
they are averages for daily records of cold and hot climates around the world.
5 Instruments
5.1 Chamber (or box), whose specifications can be such that the individual sample container or
package is exposed to the circulating air at a selected temperature and humidity.
5.2 Control instrument, which can maintain the indoor environment within the allowable limits
of the required environmental conditions (see Table 1).
5.3 Hygrometer, which is an instrument used to indicate relative humidity, and its relative
humidity precision should be 2%. The psychrometer can be used to directly measure the
relative humidity and check the hygrometer.
5.4 Thermometer: temperature measuring devices with an accuracy of 0.1 C can be used. The
dry bulb thermometer of the psychrometer can be used to directly measure or check the
temperature indicator.
6 Specimens
6.1 The specimens should include representative packaging systems, including actual contents
or devices. Defective or lesser defective contents can be used, provided that the defect is not
within the scope of the study and is recorded in the report. Simulated contents may also be used,
provided that they have the same loading characteristics as the actual contents.
6.2 Care shall be taken to ensure that the packaging system and its contents have not degraded
prior to exposure to climatic stressing. This is especially important when samples need to be
sent to a distant test site.
7 Procedures
7.1 In accordance with specifications, weight and constituent materials, describe the packaging
system and confirm the test units (shipping case, multipack and palletized load, etc.).
7.2 Identify the various modes and durations of transportation used for storage and circulation
of products to customers. For example, products will be delivered to their destinations by two-
day transit period by road and air.
7.3 When used in an independent test, pre-determine the acceptance criteria.
7.4 Use the sequence, conditions and exposure times provided in Table 1 to compile a test
protocol. If the conditions and exposure times of the user’s circulation environment are known
to be different from those specified in Table 1, then, the user’s circulation conditions should be
