Real-World Testing Conditions

At Viking we have the ability to help you design and test to the US DOT and IATA regulations for performance-oriented packaging.

Our testing facilities offer package testing to simulate real-world conditions, including impact, compression, vibration, and much more.

If your shipment requires UN Specification packaging, our Viking team of experts can provide a tested package, providing accurate and reliable results to help you identify any potential problems and ensure your packaging meets industry standards and regulatory requirements.

Testing Capabilities

Viking Packing Specialist provides comprehensive dangerous goods packaging testing which includes:

📦✈️ UN Spec/Dangerous Goods Packaging Tests

Hazmat Packaging (Bulk & Non Bulk): Standardized UN packaging test sequences: Drop Test/Stack Test/Vibration Test/Hydrostatic, etc.
- Fiberboard boxes, wooden crates (DDR crates), Flight/ATA cases, drums, etc.
7A Radioactive Package testing

DOT 31FP Testing: Thermal resistance & Flame penetration tests for various packaging systems.

⚡🔥Lithium Battery & Thermal Runaway Testing

Thermal Runaway Induction: Using heaters to force lithium-ion batteries into thermal runaway.
Containment Testing: Evaluating battery bags, pouches, and crates for ability to contain flames, venting, and debris.

🧲 UN2807 Magnetic Testing

Air Transport Compliance: Measuring magnetic fields from oilfield ESP motors and other equipment.
Shielding Solutions: Lightweight inserts or shielding materials to reduce magnetism below UN2807 limits.

🔥🛡️Fire & Thermal Resistance Testing

Material Evaluation:
- Panels with FR coatings, metal linings, thermal barrier composites.
- Fiberglass batting, Superwool, Nomex, and silicone-coated fabrics.

🚚✈️Vibration & Transport Simulation

Route Simulation Crates: Shipping crates between multiple hubs to document wear, shock, and durability.
Tracking & Data Logging: GPS mapping of crate journeys, combined with inspection & photo documentation.
We partner with FCA Packaging on standardized tests including ISTA, ASTM and other industry protocols.

🔧 Custom Packaging Solutions

Foam Fabrication: CNC-cut custom foam inserts for Pelican and ATA cases.
Material Selection: Cross-linked PE foams, high-density foams, FRTP lids, and impact-absorbing designs.
Customer-Centric Design: Redesigning existing packaging to improve fit, aesthetics, and protection.

🧪🔋Additional Testing Programs

Special Projects:
- Drone packaging drop tests from 400 ft (simulated 109 MPH crash impact).
- Mixed-chemistry e-bike battery containment.
- EV Battery Package Testing
- Custom crate prototypes for nuclear medicine and aerospace parts.

📊 Instrumentation & Data Collection

Thermocouples & Sensors: High-temp monitoring
Impact Data Loggers: To quantify g-forces and accelerations.
Video Documentation: Multi-camera setups
Customer Reporting: Weekly reports, mapped journeys, visual closure instructions

Our testing infrastructure, materials expertise, and regulatory knowledge enable us to design, validate, and certify packaging for the toughest scenarios in aviation, oilfield, nuclear medicine, and consumer electronics.
